My ultimate goal is to learn to build products that matter. Programming is the weapon I have used so far to accomplish that goal, and I want to continue to grow my versatility by learning more about business. The more hats I can wear, the better leader I'll become. I'm happy to announce that I've just been accepted into a Product Management course! Let me explain you more about the decision. ## Will you stop being a Software Developer? No! The course is on Saturdays, and I'll dedicate my hours after work to working on it. I'll keep focusing on Front End Development and leadership at work. ## Why now? I do this course as part of my long-term plan to become a full-time startup founder. I want to learn more about **making products that make money, solve pain points, and positively impact society**. And, in the short term, this will help me a lot at work by putting me on the intersection between engineering and business. > Learn making products that make money, solve pain points, and positively impact society ## Are you scared? Yes! ProductFaculty is a very demanding and deep course. There are a lot of concepts and knowledge that I've never heard about nor have experienced. But I'm a blank canvas that is hungry for knowledge. I love to be challenged and to push myself into uncertain waters, and this course comes at the right time! ## The Opportunity I Was Looking for ![The opportunity I was looking for](https://ferreirov3.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/undraw_studying_s3l7.png) I've been putting more effort and energy into learning product management by myself since the end of last year, and mainly on weekends while building my new startup [Streamradiox](http://streamradiox.com/). I've learned a lot by making my own mistakes, and now I want to go further, move faster, and not feel that I’m alone in the process. It's a life-changing opportunity to join a course with great Product Managers and top Product leaders like [Moe Ali](https://www.linkedin.com/in/productfaculty), [Niaz Ahmed](https://www.linkedin.com/in/niaz/), [Katie Cerar](https://www.linkedin.com/in/katiecerar/), and others. Shoutout to Moe for believing in me, my background is very different than most of my classmates, and I can't wait to learn a lot from them. I hope not to disappoint you! ## Can I learn with you? ![Am I scared to learn more about product management?](https://ferreirov3.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/undraw_road_to_knowledge_m8s0.png) Yes! I want to focus on learning as much as possible from Product and sharing what I learn with all of you. Every Sunday I'll be sharing something that [I learned that week on my YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCA2Z3mQUqOj80M84vRu-3AQ). I'll make Spanish content because there is less product information. For English-only content, [subscribe to my newsletter](https://ferreiro.me/newsletter) to get my latest posts in English.
