As a prolific speaker and educator, Biddle specializes in topics like product strategy, customer obsession, and brand building. His presentations, such as "Customer Obsession: Satisfying the Unsatisfiable via Consumer Science" and "The Guerrilla Guide to Product Innovation," focus on using consumer science to drive decisions and maintain focus on customer delight. He conducts workshops on effective product strategy meetings and the dynamics of fast decision-making in startups. Additionally, Biddle shares insights from his time at Netflix and Chegg using real-life case studies to discuss leadership during pivotal growth phases and the importance of personalization in customer retention.
