October 18, 2025 Ep. 98 - I FAILED! (But it wasn't fatal)
I failed and posted this Fail More Friday on a Saturday! Okay, I know it's not the biggest failure in the world but still, not what I planned. However, it fit's in perfectly with this episode that is all about failure. Although uncomfortable, and with very real risks, failure is necessary to build something impactful.
To achieve true greatness, design exceptional products, and build successful companies, risk is not just beneficial—it's required.

October 13, 2025 Ep. 97 - Why Recognition Trumps Recall in Design
We are so much better at recognizing than recalling. We've all experienced this when struggle to recall a name or a town but we know all of the names that it isn't! Isn't that weird? Well, it's a common occurrence for all of us and something designers should understand when creating products aimed at being usable and useful.

A nostalgic look back at the iconic and timeless movie, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! Who knew that this old classic would hold so many gold nuggets for designer in our day and age.
