About

Frank Takeaways is a newsletter about notes worth keeping — the kind you scribble in a margin, share in a 1:1, or remember long after the slide deck is gone.

Written by Frank Harris, it blends product strategy, coaching insight, and personal reflection, drawn from years building teams and shipping things at Slack, Google, Etsy, and early-stage startups.

You’ll find sharp takes on AI and product launches, metaphors about leadership, prompts that make your work easier, and stories that remind you you’re not alone.

Because the best takeaways aren’t just learned — they’re lived.
And the good ones? They stick.
