You’re not going to like everyone you work with.
And some of them aren’t going to like you, either.
That doesn’t mean you can’t do good work together.
In this episode, Joe talks about what happens when you stop trying to win difficult people over and start treating their behavior for what it often is: a constraint you have to navigate.
You'll hear about protecting your energy, documenting everything, finding shared ground, choosing your battles — and recognizing when the real problem isn’t the person at all, but the system around them.
Because the truth is...you don’t need harmony to make progress. You need clarity, boundaries, and the ability to keep doing good work anyway.

Each episode explores the human side of UX and product design careers — confidence, power, politics, impostor syndrome, boundaries and the challenges that never show up in books or conference talks.
No hype, no platitudes, no bullshit.
Just honest perspective, earned the hard way.
