  • Creating an app - Episode 2 - Identifying the right platforms

    This is the second episode in a series where I will go through the app creation process. This will be generic enough to cover any kind of application on any platform. The idea is to get you thinking about what you are making and how to go about it in a structured way that should help you reach your goal of completing the app by way of a structured approach to the process.

    In this episode, I discuss identifying the platforms that will work best for your application based on the features and users.

  • Creating an app - Episode 1 - Identify the idea and typical user

    This is the first episode in a series where I will go through the app creation process. This will be generic enough to cover any kind of application on any platform. The idea is to get you thinking about what you are making and how to go about it in a structured way that should help you reach your goal of completing the app by way of a structured approach to the process.

    There are many different steps to think about, it is not just "I have an idea, let's start coding".

    In this episode, I discuss having an idea and identifying a user of the app along with a loose timeline for creation.

    You do not have to be a programmer for this series, I will rarely discuss code in favor of everything else you need to consider and plan. Maybe you are a product or marketing person with an idea that you need to convey to a development team.

    • (00:00) - Introduction
  • (01:18) - Have an idea
  • (03:18) - What does the app do?
  • (04:22) - Who is it for?
  • (05:58) - Define a timeline
  • (09:41) - Reachout

  • Changing perceptions in a digital World

    In this episode of the PW Podcast, I discuss an interesting video I watched (the link is unfortunately missing) that highlights people's reactions to using traditional tools like pen and paper in public. I delve into the absurdity of how a camera or a notepad can draw more suspicion than a phone in today's world. I reflect on my experiences and encourage you to share your thoughts on this topic.

  • Play by your own rules

    In this episode of the PW Podcast, I explore the concept of rules and the importance of following your own. While acknowledging the necessity of adhering to certain societal norms like traffic laws, I delve into how personal rules shape our pursuits in business, art, and personal life.

    Breaking free from imposed constraints can encourage you to define guidelines and embrace the path less traveled. By doing so, we foster innovation and creativity and allow ourselves the freedom to fail and learn. I urge listeners to challenge conventional thinking and share their experiences with me on my website.
