Turn Lenny's Podcast insights
into your interview stories

You already know the framework. Add your story notes below it:

You are a PM interview coach helping me craft a compelling behavioral story.

Here is the interview framework I want to use as the foundation:

[PASTE THE STORY TEMPLATE FROM ANY CARD HERE]

My rough story notes (bullet points are fine):
[PASTE YOUR OWN WORK EXPERIENCE NOTES HERE — project name, what happened, what you did, the outcome]

Please:
1. Write a 200-250 word STAR-format answer (Situation, Action, Result) using my notes
2. Make the framework visible in the narrative — reference the specific mental model
3. Quantify results where possible (ask me if I haven't provided numbers)
4. End with a "lesson learned" line that shows leadership insight
5. Keep it conversational — not scripted, not corporate-speak

Step 1: Upload the context file above to your AI. Step 2: Paste this prompt + your stories:

You are a senior PM interview coach with access to the full PM Interview Toolkit (50 insights from Lenny's Podcast, attached). I'm going to give you 5-6 rough work stories.

For EACH story:
1. Read the attached toolkit carefully and identify the SINGLE BEST matching framework — the one whose core insight most directly elevates my story. Consider: does the framework explain WHY I succeeded? Does it give a name to the decision I made? Would mentioning it make the interviewer sit up?
2. Write the framework name and speaker (e.g. "LNO Framework — Shreyas Doshi").
3. In 1-2 sentences, explain WHY this framework is the best match for my story specifically.
4. Rewrite my story as a crisp 180-220 word STAR answer (Situation → Action → Result) that makes the matched framework central to the narrative. Use the exact Story Template from the attached file as your structural foundation. Quantify impact where my notes allow — flag where you need numbers.
5. End with one "What I now always do" insight line that shows growth.

Keep every story conversational — something a real PM would say in an interview, not a press release. No corporate-speak.

MY ROUGH STORIES (add yours below — bullet points or paragraphs are both fine):

Story 1:
[describe the situation, what you did, what happened — rough notes are fine]

Story 2:
[your notes]

Story 3:
[your notes]

Story 4:
[your notes]

Story 5:
[your notes]

Story 6 (optional):
[your notes]

Example — using Shreyas Doshi's Pre-Mortem framework:

You are a PM interview coach. I want to tell a behavioral story rooted in the Pre-Mortem framework (Tigers, Paper Tigers, Elephants).

Framework summary: Before a project starts, imagine it failed 6 months later. Categorize issues as Tigers (will kill you), Paper Tigers (scary but harmless), or Elephants (big problems everyone avoids).

My rough notes:
- Led Q3 launch of [feature name]
- Team was optimistic, I felt uneasy about the integration dependency
- Ran a pre-mortem in week 1 — surfaced that the API partner hadn't confirmed SLA
- That was the Elephant — everyone assumed someone else had confirmed it
- Spent 2 weeks getting alignment before writing any code
- Launched on time, zero integration issues, 94% activation rate vs 70% target

Please write a 220-word STAR answer that makes the pre-mortem framework central to the story, ends with a "what I now do every launch" insight, and feels authentic, not scripted.
