Nice tease. Seriously I really hope that you guys will have a series 2. These videos have been invaluable. It has been so refreshing to be able to hear from so many designers. Hear similar challenges, being able to hear how they describe and communicate what we do, truly invaluable content. Than you so much for putting this series together. I would love to see interviews with Don Norman, Alan Cooper, Kim Goodwin, Stephen Anderson, ect.

After Ian Spalter's High Resolution episode 17, I left my job. Not the very next day of course, took a while to find the next job though.. Also Creativity Inc. is an awesome recommendation.

Amazing. As a former ex pro soccer player, vodka salesman, journalist, turned design workshop leader (I skipped a lot of steps somehow), you fellas are my mentors on this side. Thanks for giving me insight in what steps I need to make to move backwards and build my way up from stronger foundations. Cheers from Spain!

OMG season 2 looks amazing! Huge thank you to everyone involved in this series, it's been inspirational, helpful, and I've learned a ton. One of the best design podcasts imo.

On behalf of Indiana University's HCI/d program, I thank Jared and Bobby for doing this. It's been real guys.

@Bobby 32:35 - Glad to see your perspective on you being Maker Manager (instead of being Manager of Makers). My question to you is - Do you think we don't need the latter in a large design team? (Like trusting your direct reports to do their own thing and learn from it) or should it have mix of both?). I completely understand the need of senior/principal designers/leaders who want to work and build products with everybody in the team, but I also feel there is still a need for the other kind of managers who should let the junior designers do their own thing and go wrong (even if they claim to be right) so they can learn from those failures. I am a bit conflicted on the idea of not having those leaders in orgs.

Thank you for your contributions!

Could watch this all day!

You should talk more often and hit the record button!

You mentioned in this that there’s a pitch deck. Do you guys have a link to it? Thanks

I disagree with so many things here: 1. "You're a bad designer if you isolate your work" Have you guys heard of Paul Rand, Milton Glaser, Paula Scher?! They have their own voice. 2. "Should graphic design help politics?"The old word for Advertising is called Propaganda. 3. "You need to know about the product your designing for" Design looks the same everywhere today, lol. 4. "We need to promote design in schools" People should keep learning science, Design is still subjective. 5. "Trans in the army is wrong" The Army is ALL wrong. In fact the last justified war was WWII. Love the interviews though
