  • Enriching content!

    I’m a UX professional of over 15 years and I find this podcast SO helpful to me STILL in this stage of my career as it reaffirms some of the challenges I confront beyond screen design. New designers would help themselves greatly by listening to Jeremy and his all-star guests chop it up about important topics and be prepared for the arduous yet rewarding career or UX.

    Jeremy’s guests talk about the whole practice of UX and aren’t afraid to talk about the real work of UX. Difficult stakeholders, feeling undervalued in a business-first culture, advancing your career in a difficult market. Jeremy’s sense of humor keeps the episodes positive despite the sometimes heavy topics.

  • Nice show good sound quality

    The only thing I am not sure about this show is that I really don’t understand the intro line ‘how is your mom and them’. I got no idea what this means but it is very odd for someone to mention my mom.

    ‘How are you.’ Is the kind of thing you say in a conversation. And even in conversations rarely anyone really care. In a podcast, doesn’t make sense to ask your audience how are you, let alone how is your mom…

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Build a Career That Outlasts Your Next Layoff with Frank Bach
Q: What's the role of personal branding if you're not constantly posting online?
Personal branding can thrive offline and through real-world impact. It's about relationships, visible contributions, and consistency in how you show up in meetings, at meetups, or in side projects, rather than just social media activity.
Build a Career That Outlasts Your Next Layoff with Frank Bach
Q: How do you avoid letting job titles define your self-worth?
By treating your career as a portfolio of value you create across multiple domains—offline and online—so that you're not dependent on one brand name. You should cultivate what you're known for and align it with long-term goals, while staying adaptable to change.
You're Not the Center of the Corporate Universe with Andy Vitale
Q: How does a designer develop empathy for teams outside design, like product or engineering, on a day-to-day basis?
Understand that these teams are trying to bring viable solutions to life and often push back when the problem frame isn't clear; use asynchronous feedback and regular, proactive check-ins to triangulate needs and communicate outcomes in terms of business value and customer impact.
Yes, And... Now What? Improv Lessons for Navigating the Actual Job with Nikki Anderson
Q: How can improv techniques be applied to design critiques and reviews?
Treat critiques like play spaces with clear ground rules, rename critiques to reduce negativity, and start sessions with fun, low-stakes exercises to loosen tension and set a constructive feedback culture.
Yes, And... Now What? Improv Lessons for Navigating the Actual Job with Nikki Anderson
Q: Where do some places where UX professionals might be flailing, and how can improv help against that?
Improv helps by turning the default response from defense to curiosity, encouraging you to read the room, adjust in real time, and use structured play to stimulate collaborative problem solving rather than simply presenting findings.
