I know it’s been a while since the last episode, but I have some updates for you including new episodes, podcast partners, and a newsletter.

How do you create room in your day to day to focus on what's most important? For me, that has always meant controlling who has access and can make requests for my time.

It took a lot for me to publish the first episode of the podcast. And although it gets easier over time, that tension I feel right before I hit publish remains. At times I think that I’m over it, especially when I get into a rhythm, but it always returns as soon as I slow down. I think everyone in the creative field feels the same thing. Some are just better at managing it– or ignoring it.

Merriam-Webster describes a Masterpiece as: a work done with extraordinary skill especially : 1. a supreme intellectual or artistic achievement. 2. a piece of work presented to a medieval guild as evidence of qualification for the rank of master

I had an opportunity over the long holiday weekend to reflect on the podcast's progress since launch, and these are the three things I learned after reviewing stats and listener feedback.

Slack unveiled their new logo yesterday, and the internet had a lot to say. In this episode, I share my personal view on redesigns and briefly touch on how we can learn from watching companies go through a rebranding process by studying them and understanding why they might have made the decisions that they did.

We're in the middle of heavy rain this week and I'm making progress on the new website.

I originally started using my personal website to help feature the podcast episodes, but I believe it may be time to set up proper website for it.

It’s been too long since we’ve sat down to talk. There were a lot of things in my life that needed my attention, but that’s no excuse. I know that you must have felt like I was pushing you aside. I didn’t mean to ignore you.

Last nights "Disigner Meetups" at Disneyland was a lot of fun. Hanging out with friends and catching up on what everyone is doing gave me time to reflect on everything that’s happened the past two weeks since the launch of the podcast and I’ve just really been enjoying this process.
