What Lenny's Podcast covers

Lenny interviews product, growth and AI leaders with a focus on concrete, tactical advice for building, launching and growing products. Recent guests are heavily drawn from AI labs and AI-native companies.

The format is one long conversation per episode, so expect detail on how teams actually work rather than headlines.

Who it's for

Our take: it is built for product managers, founders and growth-minded operators. If you want to hear how the people building AI products run their teams, the recent episodes are a good fit. For more shows like it, see our best AI podcasts for founders list.

A good way in is to pick a guest whose product you use. The three episodes below come from people running Claude Code and ChatGPT, so they double as a look at how those teams make product decisions.

Episodes to start with

Two of the episodes above are about Claude Code, which we use constantly; see our Claude Code page for what we built with it.
