Hello & Welcome to the Trifecta

Hi! Welcome to the Trifecta. This newsletter aims to (apart from giving me a good boost in dopamine):

1. Give you something to think about on Product Management/Design & Technology
2. Help you discover new topics & subjects
3. Give a little insight into my voracious mind
4. Make the above fun :)

You may find traces of dry humour - and that's not my fault. The industry does this to you. My humor setting varies weekly - primarily determined by how much my boss humors me, so that's a random variable!

On a serious note: I'm partially porting over the content from the Substack to Linkedin. You can find the main content on Substack (and a follow there would be much appreciated): https://thetrifecta.substack.com/about

If you want to know how the Trifecta came into being, I can spin a story for you:

Long ago, while atop a cool breezy mountain in the wilderness of Georgia (the country), I was visited by the mighty Greek God of the Sea Poseidon. He spoke to me in a whisper - barely audible to my humble ears - "Rise Rameez - and write about your explorations on Product, Technology and Design". He pointed at his mighty trident and said, this shall be your path to success.

I was, of course, dumbfounded - What is the god of sea doing on a mountain, I asked? Wouldn't this be a job more suited for a god in my geography? Actaeon, Oxylus or even Gaia would be better suited here. I guess they were busy.

Unfortunately, this did not please the God of Wetness. He became angry. Sensing this, I quickly changed the topic to 6 principles of product management, which had the intended effect. After long assurances that the newsletter will be successful, Wet God went on his way...

So here I am... putting out the newsletter - with blessings from the God Poseidon no less, asking if you like this type of writing, don't subscribe. The actual content is tailored to general audiences and not you, my lovely reader, who likes to read great walls of text - hoping for a conclusion in this quagmire of a prose. To you, for you must be honored, I leave you this disconnected ending:

"Hark Poseidon", I yelled before he could properly take off, "How shalt thou greet a squid of giant proportions?" Poseidon, putting on his sunglasses, yelled out "What’s Kraken?"

And that is how, my dear reader, the Trifecta started.

-------------

The sad fact is that I did not know how to separate out my technology & design explorations on Medium, where I usually write. I've decided to come to you my dear reader - as we explore the ever expanding cauldron of knowledge. I'm looking to expand this newsletter to have guest writers talk about their week in Product/Design/Tech - and hope you too, one day, contribute to the growth of this.

For our success, is my success.

To the sea and beyond!
