Product Marketing Career Accelerator

As founder of the PMMCA, I help product marketers own their careers—rather than react to them.

Founder

Harvey Lee - Marketing Keynote Speaker

Are you planning an event and need a speaker who can rock the stage?

Your audience will love your event if they either leave inspired or learn something useful for their jobs. I say, "Why not both"? And we can make it entertaining too.

I started my career in the music and entertainment industry. Through my 25 years in marketing, I've used humour to entertain as much as I've informed. How? I lift the lid on my 12 years on the original Xbox team, educating organisations on my jam - product marketing. I do this whilst untangling complex data and simplifying concepts into easy-to-understand, actionable insights.

2023 saw me hit the road to educate, inspire and motivate audiences in New York, San Francisco, Oakland, Amsterdam, London and online.

Because I'm on your team, we'll work together - I'll assist with pre-planning, be fully present on event day, and add value post-event.

Are you ready to rock?

"Insightful, engaging and mind-opening. Harvey captivated the audience in a way few speakers can - and left us craving more."

"I can't stop talking about Harvey's Xbox talk. At work, I'm sharing the lessons. At home, I'm sharing the fascinating backstory behind the product."

"Three Lessons Xbox Taught the World" illustrated that the essence of market disruption is not the size of your investment but the precision of your messaging. His lessons are a masterclass in strategic marketing.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think this could happen in 2 years...

In 2023, I had 1k LinkedIn followers (and a ton of imposter syndrome).

I only saw male writers in the personal growth niche.
I didn't know if there was room for a voice like mine. 
I doubted whether anyone would be interested in my life hacks.

But I started writing.

2 years later, I:

➤ Grew from 1k to ~900k social followers
➤ Was featured in Forbes and Business Insider
➤ Landed a major book deal with a top publisher! 🥹
➤ Received daily invitations to be a guest on a podcast
➤ Excelled in my full-time role as a marketing lead at Google
➤ Launched The Quiet Rich™, which already has 230,000+ subscribers
➤ Met dozens of bestselling authors who I’m now grateful to call good friends
➤ Ranked #1 Productivity creator and #1 Female LinkedIn Creator in the world (Favikon, 2024)
➤ Personally coached 800+ CEOs, founders, authors, Fortune 100 execs, and aspiring thought leaders

A LOT can happen in two years, my friends.
Start something now that you’ll thank yourself for.

I'm deeply grateful for every. single. person. who has enjoyed The Quiet Rich.

Personal interests: riding motorcycles, scuba diving, tennis, skiing, meditation, boxing, lifestyle design, sailing, reading an absurd number of non-fiction books.

I don't know who needs to hear this but...

5 reminders when it feels like things are falling apart 👇

——

☝️ Step 1: Accept the shedding season

The job that didn't work out? It wasn't your job.
The relationship that ended? It wasn't your person.
The opportunity that just closed? It wasn't your door.

You're not behind. You're in transition. 
Trees don't panic when their leaves fall. 

Some things need to end for new things to begin. 
It's not failure—it's making space for something better.

——

✌️ Step 2: Anchor to your roots

Don't focus on the noise. Focus on what's unchanging about you.

Your values. Your capacity for growth. Your deepest relationships.

These are your roots—they keep you grounded when everything else shifts.

——

🤟 Step 3: Use the bare season for growth

Without leaves, trees put all their energy into getting stronger. 

Without your old life consuming your time, 
you can now invest in your future self. 

Read books. Take the course. Learn new skills. Make plans. 

This isn't downtime—it's when the most growth happens.

——

🖖 Step 4: Trust the timing

Trees don't force their leaves to grow back in winter. 

They wait. 
They trust the process. 

Your new life is already growing beneath the surface. 
You can't see it yet, but you're getting closer to your breakthrough.

——

🖐️ Step 5: Keep showing up 

Sleep 8 hours. 
Move your body. 
Call people who matter. 
Take the next right step. 
Repeat. 

This is how the best comeback stories are written.

——

And your roots are much deeper than you think.

♻️ Repost this to spread some kindness and resilience today.

➕ I'm Jade Bonacolta, founder of The Quiet Rich. I write daily posts that help you get a "quiet mind" and a "rich life."

Hot take: Most people give up too soon.

The most successful ones know The Bamboo Rule:

When bamboo is planted, it shows no growth for 5 years.
Nothing above the soil.

But something miraculous happens in year 5:
The bamboo shoots up to 80+ feet in just 6 weeks (!!)

Many of us start projects or businesses with enthusiasm. 
But when we don't see immediate results, we assume it’s not working.

We even dig up our seeds to "see if they're growing"—
killing our potential breakthrough.

——

The 3-Step Bamboo Rule:

1. Track “root” metrics

Don't focus only on visible outcomes. 
↳ Instead, identify your "root metrics"—
the invisible foundation work that leads to big results.

If you're trying to grow your LinkedIn brand, 
don't obsess over followers and impressions in your first few weeks. 

Instead, track:
➟ Number of posts published per week (consistency) 
➟ Quality connections made with other creators
➟ Skills developed (writing, design, ideation) 
➟ Meaningful conversations in comments and DMs

These build your foundation—even when no one's watching.

——

2. Don’t dig up your seeds 

Give yourself 90 days minimum before evaluating success.

Common seed-digging behaviors I see new creators make:
➟ Checking the number of likes on a post every 30 mins
➟ Deleting posts if they don’t get a lot of impressions immediately 
➟ Comparing your results to creators with established audiences

Keep going. Your breakthrough is so much closer than you think.

——

3. Find your supporters

➟ Reach out to 3-5 LinkedIn creators who understand the bamboo rule. 
➟ Message each other weekly.
➟ Each person shares 1 "root win" (skill improvement, connection made, insight gained)

This accountability keeps you watering your bamboo 
every time self-doubt creeps in.

——

Harsh Truth:

Everyone wants the 80 foot bamboo.
No one wants the years of invisible growth.

Extraordinary results require consistent effort.

That's the difference between those who break through
and those who break down.
__

Ben Meer and I have personally coached 900+ of the fastest-growing accounts on LinkedIn (in Archimedes).

The ones who succeeded? 

They committed to 90 days of posting consistently, regardless of early metrics. And that's what led to their big breakthrough.

If you’re ready to build your brand on LinkedIn, we'll teach you all of our proven systems, and connect you with a small group who will help you grow.

There are only 3 DAYS LEFT to apply: JoinArchimedes.com

Already got accepted? Congrats!
The final day to check out is Nov 28th at 2pm EST.

I can't wait to personally meet you in 10 days.

3 things that I'm impressed by:

1) Integrity
↳ People who do what's right, even when no one is watching
↳ Leaders who take accountability more than they seek credit
↳ Partners who honor commitments even when circumstances change

2) Kindness
↳ Managers who invest in growing their people, not just extracting value
↳ Teams that prioritize psychological safety over everything else
↳ Homes where feedback is delivered with genuine care

3) Generosity
↳ Creators sharing their best playbooks with those who could benefit
↳ Companies that give back to communities, not just shareholders
↳ Senior leaders mentoring those who are just starting out in an industry

——

Surround yourself with more people like that.

How? Start by becoming one of those people yourself.

In a world obsessed with vanity metrics, 
those who have real character win in the long term.

☕️ New here? I'm Jade Bonacolta. I post daily tips like this to unlock the best version of yourself.

This mindset shift changed everything for me.

How will you use your 100 hours this year? 👇

Think about it— if you start working on a new skill: 
↳ learning to prompt AI, 
↳ practicing the piano, 
↳ writing social media posts,

And you do it for 18 minutes every day for 1 year? 
Your improvement will skyrocket.

Even just getting 1% better each day compounds
to 37x improvement over 12 months. 📈

But here's the part most people miss: 

The challenge isn't finding 18 minutes. 
↳ It's picking ONE focus and maintaining it.

95% of people don't start because:
↳ they're still figuring out what that one thing is. 
↳ Or they're waiting for the "right moment." 
↳ Or they give up after a couple weeks.

The lesson? To reach the top 5%... 
consistency is way more important than intensity

The skill I'd spend those 100 hours on?
Growing your personal brand.

☕️ Follow me (Jade Bonacolta) for more like this. I share daily methods that help you build a quiet mind and a rich life.

7 old-fashioned habits that make life way better:

10 visuals to avoid burnout (+ accelerate your career):

1. Taking breaks is not a sign of weakness 
↳ Every sprint period needs a rest period.
↳ Don’t wait until your tank is empty.

2. Self-care isn't selfish
↳ It's the foundation of helping others.
↳ You can’t pour from an empty cup.

3. “On the days you only have 40%, and you 
give 40%. You gave 100%.” — Jim Kwik
 ↳ Your best work isn’t a constant. It varies daily.

4. Everyone has a different starting point
 ↳ Don’t compare yourself to someone
who started closer to the finish line.

5. Small steps compound into big achievements
↳ Be realistic about what's possible today.
↳ Consistency is more important than intensity.

6. You're never “too old” or “too young” to reinvent yourself.
↳ Self-doubt is universal, even among high achievers.
↳ Your fears don't define your potential for success.

7. Focus on what’s in front of you.
↳ Break down big goals into tiny, manageable steps.
↳ Progress happens one step at a time.

8. One bad day doesn’t erase your progress
↳ Setbacks are temporary, but progress is constant.
↳ Keep perspective on your overall growth trajectory.

9. Forward movement often feels messy 
↳ What looks like going in circles
might actually be upward momentum.

10. Your wellbeing is your best investment 
↳ Mental health is the #1 predictor of success.
↳ Your mind matters more than any deadline.

10 illustrations to avoid burnout:

I spent years making a living.

3 ways I'm learning to make a life:

——

To me, a "rich life" is about 3 things:
slow mornings, a quiet mind, and people you love.

So here's what I changed:

1) I bought my time back.
↳ I say no to meetings that could be emails.
↳ I deleted apps that stole hours without giving anything back.
↳ I outsource things I don't like doing (taxes, yard work, grocery delivery).

Every hour I reclaim is an hour I get to spend on what matters.

——

2) I stopped saying "I'll do it later"
That was code for: "This isn't a priority."

↳ When my grandma wants to FaceTime during a busy workday, I pick up.
↳ When a friend invites me to dinner, I move things around to make it.

The work emails will wait. Don't postpone the people you love.

——

3) I ask myself: "Will I remember this in 10 years?"

↳ That luxury handbag? Probably not.
↳ That weekend trip with my mom? Absolutely.

The Rolex means nothing if you're always checking it, wishing you were somewhere else.

——

We’re all working hard and waiting for something...
5pm, the weekend, the holidays.

But by the time we get there, it's over so quickly.
What if we could have "moments that matter" every day?

“Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you'll look back and realize they were the big things.” —Kurt Vonnegut

What does your rich life look like?
I made a free workbook to help you map it out (link in comments).
