Conducting User Interviews
This walks you through running better user interviews by channeling 43 product leaders who actually know what they're doing. It'll push you toward collecting stories instead of opinions, interviewing people who've already taken action rather than hypothetical users, and falsifying your assumptions instead of fishing for validation. Use it when you're prepping interview questions, recruiting participants, or trying to extract real insight from research sessions. The best bit is how opinionated it gets about common mistakes like asking "would you use this?" or letting PMs skip direct customer exposure. It recommends 7 to 14 interviews as the sweet spot and includes tactical advice like having users send a dollar invoice to test actual willingness to pay.
