Obsessed with this podcast! Steve Leard is really the perfect podcast host, his lovely voice combined with his kind inquiry and sense of humor makes for the most soothing podcast to listen to while designing. This is the GBBS of podcasts and even in the midst of stressful deadlines, makes me think somehow, everything will be alright. I’ve learned so much from this podcast and can’t wait for new episodes. In the meantime I’ll probably re-listen to the ones that are already out.

From inspiration to money, clients, working with ADs, collaboration, and staying mentally and physically sound in an industry that, while fun, can be very demanding. I’ve enjoyed the stellar lineup of talent and hearing their voices and way of thinking. Sure, we are all familiar with their work and “follow” them—but hearing things in their own words opens a further dimension into the work and the actual pe... more
