If starting as more of a generalist product manager - what resources do you rely on to broaden your technical "toolkit"?

I care less about specific resources and more about the iterative approach to professional growth. True learning comes from building a network of other PMs and subscribing to content that resonates with you. The more you stay plugged into real-life stories of what works and what doesn't, the faster you grow. That's why the Bay Area is great for accelerated professional growth as a PM.
Currently, I'm obsessed with "All-In Podcast" by top VCs in the valley. Next month, I might come across something more interesting.
