概要

Product for Humans is the podcast for leaders building products in the age of AI.

Hosted by Christa Hill and Renee Matsalla, co-founders of Tacit Edge, this show explores what it really takes to lead when AI is no longer a feature. It is the environment.

Each episode tackles real business challenges through the lens of product thinking, AI strategy, data readiness, and human-centred leadership. Because the question is no longer “How do we ship?” It is “How do we lead responsibly when the tools are evolving faster than our teams?”

You will hear:

  • How AI changes the role of product leaders
  • Where strategy breaks down in the messy middle
  • What to automate and what to protect
  • How to lift the floor of literacy so your organization can raise the ceiling of growth

At Tacit Edge, we believe AI is not the strategy. Leadership is.

If you are responsible for outcomes, teams, or transformation, this podcast is for you.

  • We Built This Mess: AI, Power, and the Human Cost of Moving Fast With Katrina German
    2026/02/13

    AI is changing everything, but the real crisis is trust, and leaders are not measuring the human cost.

    In this 2026 episode of Product for Humans, Christa Hill goes deep with Katrina German, one of Canada’s clearest voices on ethical digital leadership.

    They start with what sparked Katrina’s recent media coverage: AI-enabled harassment and the rise of synthetic sexualized imagery used to silence women online. From there, the conversation zooms out to a bigger question: how did we go from early internet guardrails to today’s “terms of service as consent” reality, and what does that mean for Canadians trying to lead through platform power, misinformation, and fragile digital infrastructure?

    Then they shift to the human side. Katrina names the thing many leaders feel but cannot articulate: technostress. They talk boundaries, organizational clarity, and why leaders in 2026 have one job above all else: rebuilding trust.

    They wrap with a fast, fun “Smash or Pass” round on AI self-regulation, unenforced principles, and the myth that we are “too early” to govern.

    What we cover
    • Why AI-generated sexualized imagery is being used to silence women online, and why platforms cannot shrug it off as “user responsibility”
    • The media problem: whose voices get airtime, and what it costs when expert women get clipped to one sentence
    • A practical solution for journalists and experts: Informed Perspectives, a network that helps match media with expert women
    • Regulation memory loss: what Canadians already regulated well (and why we stopped pushing for the same accountability in social platforms)
    • Platform power vs public interest: why commercial incentives are not the same as societal stewardship
    • Canada’s opportunity moment: and why “building our own” is back on the table
    • The human cost of constant change: technostress, burnout signals, and what leaders are asking people to carry
    • What leaders must prioritize in 2026: trust as a strategic pillar, not a brand value
    • Smash or Pass lightning round: self-regulation, terms of service, “responsible AI” without enforcement, and leadership literacy

    Send us a text

    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.

  • PFH015:The Antidote to “Discovery Theatre"
    2025/05/09

    Send us a text

    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.
