This time we’re diving into a problem almost every product team has felt but rarely names: all the customer research you’ve already done… and then quietly forgotten.

In this episode, Jacob Burghardt joins Matt and Moshe to talk about his new book Stop Wasting Research: Maximize the Product Impact of Your Organization's Customer Insights and how to turn research from a one‑off activity into a real product asset.

Drawing on his path from early dot‑com research and UX work through consulting and a principal PM role at Amazon, Jacob shares why teams keep re‑running the same studies, ignoring past insights, and treating “research” as a meeting on the calendar instead of an input into every major decision.

His book offers a big‑tent definition of research, which includes UX, market, data science, CS insights, and more, and a practical playbook for making all of it usable, visible, and integrated into product work.

Join Matt and Moshe as they explore with Jacob:
  • How he moved from hands‑on research and design into product management, and why he stayed obsessed with the problem space
  • What “research” really includes today (far beyond user interviews or dashboards)
  • Why so much research gets wasted and the three root causes behind it:
    • Research isn’t prepared for future use
    • Stakeholders aren’t motivated to care
    • Insights aren’t integrated into planning, processes, or leadership rituals
  • A step‑by‑step structure from the book:
    • Taking inventory of the research you already have
    • Diagnosing root causes in your org
    • Choosing from a “menu” of tactics that fit your context
  • What good looks like: strong operating models, clear places for research to plug in, and researchers treated as builders of internal products
  • How smaller orgs without Product Ops can get started: simple visibility, mapping who’s doing what research, and basic communication channels
  • The link between org mindset (feature factory vs. empowered teams) and how seriously research is used
  • Practical ideas for connecting research to go‑to‑market, pricing, packaging, CS, and sales enablement
  • How AI is changing the research landscape, where it helps and where human judgment is still essential
  • And much more!
