I was considering starting a blog or making some videos talking about my career in product. I want to share what I've learned over the years from others and want to give back more. Are there specific topics people feel haven't been addressed well by the product community? Open to ideas.

What a great idea! I'd go through this bowl and try to pinpoint the most commonly asked questions.

like

Yes!! Love the idea!

1- Effectively prioritizing road map with conflicting high priority needs from various distinct groups within an org/company and ensuring everyone is aligned.

2- Transitioning prioritized Initiatives and Epics for tactical execution. What content should you have at minimum for a successful transition and effective breakdown into Features, User Stories and tasks.

3- Sizing and capacity analysis for long term planning.

4- Tool recommendations for road mapping/planning.

Honestly I find most topics have been talked through but what’s valuable is being to illustrate your own spin the same topics with your own experience.

Personally, I find content with personal stories (your or someone else's experience) very engaging. It has a more human touch to it as opposed to a post that expounds the virtues of doing 'x'.
It would be good to address "eliciting meaningful customer feedback" as a topic
