“ I wear black because it’s easier and I don’t have to think about it too much.” It’s why the world is getting uglier, Debbie and yet you wear it well. Beautiful design is about solving problems. Black is your only answer because it’s easy and you don’t have to think about it.

I love Debbie Millman, her interview style just feels so smart and old school.
Apple Podcasts5miller-josselynUnited Statesa month ago - Disappointed
There were a few good ones, but turned lackluster at best in my opinion. Very left sided and not very engaging or deep.
Apple Podcasts1Benji K GUnited States7 months ago - Not engaging
Initially was excited to follow this show. But after several tries, had to abandon the effort. Guests seemed intriguing, but missed opportunities by the host to be engaging. It felt like listening to paint dry.
Unfollowed.

I always learn something new—it’s informative, engaging, and full of fresh perspectives. Thank you for all the time and effort you and your team put into making it so consistently great. I’m truly grateful for what you do.
