Welcome To The Rift
This was two years ago: https://saqibtahir.com/welcome-to-the-rift/
And this was one year ago: https://sknexus.com/goal-of-my-content/
The idea was simple, I had diverse experiences and a passionate drive to share my journey with others.
So today, I am moving to the next stage - ‘The Rift’
What is The Rift?
Primarily, it’s a consolidation effort.
To date I have written a lot, across a lot of different platforms - I want to bring it all under one roof.
The Rift is for
Exploring Early Stage Pains at the Intersection of Product, Tech, and Business.
Some Background Context
Over the past few years I have published over 100K words in various formats, covering three primary aspects:
1 - Product -
I wrote content for early-stage Startup Founders to help them with their Product Gaps. I feel like Product Management needs to be subsidized in scope to make sense for those who are just starting out. My content served as my way of focusing on the most important aspects of Product Management when it came to launching a startup.
2- Business and Career -
If you know my career history, you know I jumped a lot of hoops - and had success with it. TWP was my attempt at sharing all that I have learned with others who find themselves in similar struggles. Based in Pakistan, opportunities are sparse - and standing out is even harder. Learning how to transition from a 9to5 to a freelancer to a business owner - was a journey I found worth sharing.
3 - Tech -
Last - but certainly not least - tech is still at my heart with everything I do. Born in an environment where passion dies the moment you turn 18 - I have kept the embers lit within me. SKN was my outlet to talk about what I want and write about what I think needs to be said when it comes to tech. I feel like there is a massive gap in content when we consider the Pakistani perspective and I wanted to fill that need with SKN.
And now, I want to bring it all together, here’s the What, Who, Why of it -
Who Will This Be For?
Everyone!!! - JK, no content or product or business will be for ‘everyone’ ever.
But, having been in the business world, I do have a pretty good idea of a starting point.
Founders & Business Owners
I still work primarily as a Product Management Service Provider who works closely with Business Owners and Founders. That positions me perfectly to share experiences that can help you in a similar position.
Career Professionals
If you’re in a career related to tech, being in the know-how of how things work when it comes to Product and Startups can be an excellent way to upskill. This community will help you uncover new perspectives as you tag along.
Tech-Heads
Even if you don’t care about business or career - tech is still everywhere. Understanding how it integrates with entities you interact with is still knowledge worth knowing.
There is a thing about ‘standing on the shoulders of giants’ - Every next generation has advantages that the previous didn’t.
I had many advantages growing up close to tech and working close to businesses - Now, I want other people to take advantage of that.
And, I sincerely believe I can provide value to others whilst others can make this a sustainable effort for me in the long run.
Moving forward, all my efforts will be focused on developing content for this very newsletter and community - the best way to keep the show running is by showing up.
Thanks for tagging along.
