March 27, 2023 Ep. 35 - Positive and Negative Feedback Loops
In this episode of the Design30 Podcast I discuss positive and negative feedback loops. I describe what they are, why they aren't inherently good or bad, why you need to understand them as a designer, and finally I provide some examples of both. Both positive and negative feedback loops can be implemented in your designs to optimize performance improve the user or customer experience.

In this episode of the Design30 Podcast, I discuss some thoughts I have on air travel and airports after traveling to and from Las Vegas this past week.

February 27, 2023 Ep. 31 - Improve Efficiency and Reduce Errors
In this episode I provide one simple strategy to improve efficiency and reduce errors. What's the secret? You're duplicating information too often! Stop it! Duplicating information requires you to update multiple documents, videos, or files when that information changes, which it inevitably will. Change is constant at work just as it is in life. So, prepare for it and do not place the same information in multiple locations that will all require individual attention and updates in the future.
Never duplicate information without strategy and forethought!

February 13, 2023 Ep. 29 - How to Become an "Idea Factory"
In this episode of the Design30 Podcast I discuss four lessons I learned from the Bell Labs "Idea Factory". If you want to understand how good ideas are developed and incentivized it is imperative that you study the habits, beliefs, and actions of successful companies. As the R&D department of AT&T, Bell Labs created more innovative and world changing technologies than any other company in the world. It's probably a good idea to understand how they came up with all of these good ideas!
