Opening
Annie Pearl (00:00:00): Strategy is really just an integrated set of choices that outline how you're going to win in whatever marketplace you choose. And so, a good product strategy is going to answer questions like what's your winning aspiration? But maybe more importantly, where are you going to play?

Annie Pearl (01:00:42): There you go there. Lenny (01:00:43): All right. Annie, this was amazing. We learned a ton about Calendly growth product building. Two final questions. Where can people find you online if they want to learn more and reach out, maybe ask some questions. And two, how can listeners be useful to you?...
The ending stays curious after the formal conversation is almost done.
