People who care about digital content that resonates on a human level are needed now more than ever. It's time to rethink how we approach digital content so that we can make the communications and interactions we all encounter every day less robotic, chaotic, and caustic—both to receive and to create.

My guest this week is on a mission to create more human-centered digital content. Bailey Lewis is a content strategist who runs the Words First Course & Community. She created Words First to transform the way that professionals and their organizations communicate with other humans online (only the least human and most prevalent medium of all!).  

We discuss:

• What makes so many digital experiences chaotic and unusable—for both the audiences trying to engage with them and the teams building them
• How to flip the content creation process to “words first” 
• How to identify and shift where processes are keeping that from happening
• How to apply user experience content strategy principles for digital communications that resonate on a human level.
