Today on the podcast,

* He talks about how - contrary to what many think - the best way for designers to get a chance to have a seat at the table is to double down on their craft and become world-class at one thing

* We talk about how to turn off your brain when needed, quieting that relentless critical voice that all creators have

* And we also get into more detail on the evolution of design culture in the US- how companies like Apple and Target helped make designers more visible and more valued as core members of the team at the center of the business

Enjoy!
