  • #7 Bonusode: DESIGN SPRINT OVERLOAD - Live from the AJ&Smart office
    Rancid Audio Warning! It's the day before 2018 and we're here to hit you with a BONUS episode of the PBC podcast!!! This one is an amazing, deep-dive into all things Design Sprint. The (terrible) audio is taken from a fireside chat FB live stream we held at the AJ&Smart offices in June. It includes some fantastic questions from the audience. Beware, the audio is DAMN bad, but the content is oh so juicy.
