    Ep. 98 - I FAILED! (But it wasn't fatal)
    Oct 18 2025

    I failed and posted this Fail More Friday on a Saturday! Okay, I know it's not the biggest failure in the world but still, not what I planned. However, it fit's in perfectly with this episode that is all about failure. Although uncomfortable, and with very real risks, failure is necessary to build something impactful.

    To achieve true greatness, design exceptional products, and build successful companies, risk is not just beneficial—it's required.

  • Ep. 97 - Why Recognition Trumps Recall in Design

    Ep. 97 - Why Recognition Trumps Recall in Design
    Oct 13 2025

    We are so much better at recognizing than recalling. We've all experienced this when struggle to recall a name or a town but we know all of the names that it isn't! Isn't that weird? Well, it's a common occurrence for all of us and something designers should understand when creating products aimed at being usable and useful.
