Liftoff by Bottle Rocket

I had the pleasure of having David O. Anderson on the podcast this week. His story transitioning into UX Design without any formal education or background is very intriguing. And how he landed his first UX job? Even more-so.

With a couple of decades in the design industry, 2 books ('Burn Your Portfolio' and 'The Phycology of Graphic Design Pricing'), dozens of awards, and a growing instagram following - Michael Janda looked like the dream guest to have on the XD Podcast. Who knew all it took was a DM to get the ball rolling? I couldn't be happier to have Michael Janda as my guest today, and hope you enjoy our chat.

What is creativity? And why do so many people believe they are missing that “creative bone”?

Well first of all. You are creative. You’ve just let others silence that creativity over time. See when we’re children we are endlessly creative. We’re born with no chains on our imagination or curiosity. We have the freedom to explore and create with abandon.

But then as time goes on, we have to get more "practical."  More structured. And we end up inadvertently demonizing the curious with old sayings like:

Curiosity killed the cat.

He let his curiosity get the best of him.

Get your head out of the clouds.

But practicality and structure and creativity are not mutually exclusive.

Katie Lamb and I went to the same High School together, and I've watched (on social media) her career as an entrepreneur photographer and interior designer blossom over the years. It's been incredible to watch, and I knew I wanted to have her as a guest on the podcast even before I launched in Jan of this year.

Her perspective on design, business acumen, and creative spirit are insane. I hope you enjoy the episode as much as I enjoyed catching up and digging in!

It might sound a little odd, but, currently I have no dreams. I only have goals. Tangible, crystal clear goals. So how do we take standard definition dreams--and turn them into high definition goals? 

High Definition Goals follow these 5 Rules:

1. Specific
2. Time Limit
3. Measurable
4. Written/Visible/Spoken
5. They are Yours and Yours Alone

My guest this week is Jason Osburn, the Chief Empathy Officer of Cariloop--a caregiver support platform that relieves the stress and anxiety of caring for loved ones while balancing a full-time job.
If this is the first time you've read the words, "Chief Empathy Officer" you probably aren't alone. Typically we see CEO and we think Chief Executive Officer. However, for Cariloop, that little acronym has been flipped and focused on truly understanding the users. When a company puts an Empathy Officer in the C-Suite, you know that the adage of, "Seek to understand before being understood" is deep in their core.

From an early age we are ingrained with the idea that "no" is a negative word. In some cases, obviously, rightfully so. However, what if we could use "no" to our advantage--instead of as our oppressor? What if "no" became the most powerful word we hear?
