In this energizing mid-year check-in, Christa and Renée dive into the accelerating pace of AI and why 2025 is the year to stop watching from the sidelines. From Canada’s shockingly low AI adoption stats to what it really means to build AI-first businesses, they break down the urgency for leaders, teams, and individuals to level up—fast.

💡 They cover:

• What “AI-first” means (and why “AI-last” is a risk)
• Why technical literacy is the new leadership currency
• The myth of AI replacing humans—and what’s actually happening in real companies
• Real-world use cases built for less than $5 (!)
• How strategic people (not just technical folks) are leading the AI charge

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed or already in the mix, this is your moment to get in the game.

🔥 It’s not just an AI moment. It’s a movement.

In this episode of Product for Humans, we dive into the exhilarating—and urgent—intersection of sport, technology, and AI. Join hosts Christa Hill and Renee Matsalla as they sit down with longtime friend Dr. Taylor McKee from Brock University's Centre for Sport Capacity to explore how data, ethics, and innovation are reshaping the future of sport.

From predictive analytics and injury prevention to safe sport and cultural reform, we unpack:

The opportunities and risks in sport tech adoption

Why nonprofit sport organizations are drowning in sensitive data—and what to do about it

How a product mindset can help teams move from overwhelmed to empowered

The untapped potential of AI to make sport safer, more inclusive, and more equitable

How young professionals can break into sport leadership without a famous last name

Whether you’re a sport executive, a volunteer board member, or a student trying to build a career in sport—this one’s for you.

🧠 Data is already in the game. The question is: are we ready to use it for good?

🔗 Resources, links, and how to connect with Dr. Taylor McKee are in the show notes.

Tired of pretending you're doing discovery when really, you're just guessing? In this episode, we step into The Product Experiment Garage with Chantal Botana and Maurice McGinley for a real talk on what discovery actually means — and why it’s so often misunderstood.

This isn’t about running a full-blown design sprint on day one. It's about finding the next right step in your product practice — and doing it in a low-stakes environment where you can observe, experiment, and learn.

💡 You’ll hear:

• Why “Discovery Theatre” is holding your team back
• How to challenge assumptions with users, not in a vacuum
• The value of practicing product outside your daily work
• A better way to onboard your team into true discovery habits

Product is a practice. It’s a team sport. And you don’t need permission to get better at your job — just a garage, some guidance, and a willingness to try.
