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.

Frances became a household name in 2021 when she blew the whistle on Facebook for the prioritization of profits over user safety.

And guess what... she is a PRODUCT MANAGER!

We got to ask her about her pathway into Product Management, what it was like working at Facebook when these practices were happening, and how she got the courage to speak up for what is right.

We also got to talk about the future of AI and how we can be at the forefront of it.

This is a MUST WATCH for anyone who is interested in the future of technology and how it can be created ethically.
