Product Is Not a Playbook
Episode 70
Thursday, 6 August, 2026
Why do so many product transformations fail? Because leaders treat product like a science when it's mostly art.Vidya Dinamani and Heather Samarin sit down with Chris Herring, Head of Product at Stride, the edtech company serving K-12 students through virtual public schools. Chris has been building AI products for over a decade — well before it was fashionable — including StoryStudio and MathBee, the math game that helped kids find out math doesn't suck.From refusing to imitate what worked elsewhere, to piloting change with four teams before scaling to forty, to why trust is the currency that buys you permission to rebel, Chris shows what it takes to drive transformation from the inside.
