This week: Michael Eyal Sharon!

Michael is currently the co-founder and CEO at Taika, making beverages that fuel creativity. Previously, he was Facebook's first mobile product hire.

I was really excited to dig into Michael's path a bit, from South Africa, to NYU, to Facebook, to starting a CPG company with the aim of augmenting people's creativity.

We need more high-quality tools and utilities that people can use in flexible ways.

These tools should be configured and used in deterministic ways that builds muscle memory and makes them an extension of your brain, not an impediment to it.

In digital design, we did this short-sighted thing where 'settings are bad'; therefore, we had to get every single decision right — which we don't.

Now, our products are limiting the ways you customize and use them. And we did the same with the information we pushed into them.

10! I can't believe ten episodes went by so fast.

Thanks to many of you for a warm welcome into a new creative pursuit. I'm deeply grateful to the folks I got to speak with so far, and excited to do another 10!

This week: the inimitable @danrubin. Topics were: his path towards design, how he found his way onto the internet and always gravitates towards writing and teaching to clarify his thinking.

This week, I'm excited to share a conversation with the inimitable Linda Eliasen, recorded at the beautiful Friends Work Here space.

We dug into her past roles, her path from small-town Georgia to the Bay Area and eventually New York, and her lessons along the way.

The conversation we had quickly went past the "<role> at <company>"; we talked about her experiences with therapy and how she actively keeps pushing herself out of her comfort zone.

Another tuesday! This week's episode features Vika, co-founder and CPO at Super.

We talk about her early career and path into design, the big lessons she learned, and the values and principles she and her co-founder Lindsay are building Super with.

This is one of those conversations that made me realize why I wanted to start doing this podcast in the first place.

Vika is an absolute gem whose story and thoughts are not visible enough in our industry.

And just like that: half a dozen episodes.

Today's episode is a conversation with Pete Hunt.

We talk about his career, the early days of Instagram and React, lessons learned from starting his startup Smyte, their acquisition to Twitter, and his role as CEO of Elementl now.

We reminisce about our time at Instagram, using React in a very early stage, and the quirks we had to deal with.

Enjoy!

The worst leaders are the ones that title match or title bump across companies but can't stay around for more than 1-2 years because they're found to never take accountability, lead with fear, and generally be garbage.

Not only do we live in the age of the bullshitter, we're also going to see this fire fueled by a ton of terrible "AI facts" in the next few months.

We gave people a calculator that spits out errors. 🙃

I'm elated to have hosted Michelle, as she is one of those unheard voices in our industry who is immensely impactful.

This is my core goal with the podcast: bring together quieter and louder voices and present meaningful stories that (hopefully) resonate with listeners.

This week's episode is with Michelle Mederos!

While not having a giant internet presence, Michelle has been a force on Facebook and Airbnb's trust and safety teams for nearly a decade.

Michelle and I talked about how she found her way into the design field, some of the important people and moments on her path, her fascination with human connection, and how she coaches herself and others.

I'm excited and humbled by the feedback I have received for the podcast, especially this last episode.

It is an absolute pleasure to have the ability to give smart, insightful people a stage, and I look forward to continuing to do so.

For now, here is my dog thanking you, and the view she was looking at afterward.

Here it is!

Today's episode is a conversation with @rsms. We covered his career, his thoughts about programming, and what's next.

We went on many nerdy tangents, so this is a long one. I hope you enjoy it!
