- Blind Spots
Listened to the “blind spots” episode. Your employee will not advance her skills or her career by creating presentations for her male coworkers. In fact, she will become a presentation designer. I do, however, agree with always learning new tools and sharing knowledge.

Great podcast, but they might want to reconsider their Wix sponsorship, given the company’s stance on Gaza. There are other platforms out there with much better ethical values.

For the love of design, please check this podcast out! You guys intrigued me with your love of trying new whiskeys, bourbons, and scotches. But helped me break out of my design shell to be unapologetically me, and using my skill to better serve my clients. With great content and banter, it brought back my love for design!
Apple Podcasts5Anthony CiampaUnited Statesa year ago - So good
I’ve been in the design field since the late 1900’s and this is the first podcast I’ve actually enjoyed listening to about what I do for a living. I do it all day, research constantly, so the last thing I want to do is listen to people talk about it. So glad I gave this a chance. Dove in because of the take on AI. Stayed for the snark and real talk.
