🎨💸 What's the biggest gap for product designers in tech today? 🎙️ This is one of the many questions Marc and I explored with Josh Brewer (Partner @ Enjoy The Work) in our latest episode of the podcast. Josh's answer was fantastic: most product designers don't spend enough time understanding their product's business model and go-to-market strategy. This can create a disconnect between user experience and business objectives. Designers who can productively balance UX with $$$ will dramatically increase their impact and accelerate their careers as a result. I couldn't agree more. The most impactful designers I know always connect value for users and value for the business. Our conversation also covered other engaging topics, including: • Attracting top talent and fostering a culture of creativity & accountability • Josh's thoughts on "founder mode" • Delivering and receiving feedback in a growth-oriented environment • The role of design in the AI era and its impact on future products • And more!

The latest episode of my podcast just dropped! Except...I don't have a mic. Or a co-host. Or any tools related to recording a podcast whatsoever. Google dropped a new AI tool that lets you take any PDFs, Google Docs, or note files and create a podcast using them as source materials. The output is a short podcast where two AI hosts discuss the material in a way that's easier to learn for the audience than reading all of the documents. Curious, I decided to give it a go. I uploaded the first two chapters of my book, The Art and Science of UX Design, and just waited five minutes. Afterwards, I got a 14 minute episode with two co-hosts discussing my book in depth with their feelings, insights, and takeaways. And their interactions! They had more charisma than the average interaction I have with other people. They banter, play off each other, and hit tones and inflections that feel completely natural. There's a moment where a host even "stutters", giving an extra sense of realism. I strongly encourage you to listen, even if only for a minute. The 6 minute mark in particular blew me away. They took a short example from my book, extrapolated on it, and explained why it was so impactful to them. We are SO cooked.
