In this episode, we dive into the world of product management and entrepreneurship. Our guest, Alex, shares their journey from civil engineering to software development and product management.

Alex believes that product management is an excellent role for aspiring entrepreneurs, and they draw parallels between software development and other industries. We'll explore how their passion for design and 3D AutoCAD led them to create an innovative product called Xebec.

Join us as we dive deep into the world of Xebec and explore how they've built their brand around the modern professional's needs.

  • Alex graduated in civil engineering but found his true calling in software development and product management.
  • He strongly advocates product management for entrepreneurs in the making.
  • In collaboration with Trevor, Alex embarked on the journey of conceptualizing Xebec.
  • The initial target base for Xebec included travelers who needed to work remotely. Gradually, it expanded to include traveling salespeople and accountants. When COVID hit, there was a great opportunity for a brand to be the voice of modern professionals.
  • The brand's mantra, "free yourself," signifies liberation from the constraints of location-based work and traditional technology.
  • Xebec pioneers the concept of freedom and flexibility in the modern workforce, and in the professional and personal life.
  • Due to feedback from users, the upgraded Tri-Screen 2 was developed to enhance customer experience and meet their needs effectively. Feedback is essential in driving Xebec's product roadmap.
  • Although the brand doesn't have many repeat customers since their product is a one-time purchase, their marketing strategy relies heavily on word-of-mouth from satisfied customers.
  • Vinny, the Vanagon, embodies both counterculture and professional accomplishment.
  • Despite the real-world challenges, Alex aspires to defy conventional norms and prove that personal and professional goals can be achieved concurrently.

As we continue to navigate through the pandemic-stricken era where remote work has become commonplace, stories like Xebec's provide valuable lessons while shaping the future of work.

We hope you enjoy this thought-provoking episode and gain inspiration from Alex's entrepreneurial journey.
