Podcasts about Design

We talk a lot about what I call “lifestyle design” around here.  When people hear that term they get the general idea, because the words are common. Lifestyle – The way in which a person lives. ~ Design – Purpose, planning, intention and thought behind an action. ` So lifestyle design means to put purpose, planning, intention and thought into how you live your life.  So yep people generally get the basic concept, what people usually struggle with though is designing a lifestyle for today that is resilient for tomorrow. I think we have all had those moments, we are … Continue reading →

Every day your body must solve hundreds of hard engineering problems simultaneously, or else you'll die. These problems involve multiple coordinated, integrated systems that have to come online, not gradually, but all at once and at just the right time and place. Can an evolutionary process explain the development of these systems? You be the judge. On today's ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid welcomes Steve Laufmann, co-author with Dr. Howard Glicksman of the new book Your Amazing Body, a fresh, abridged version of their previous book Your Designed Body. In this discussion, Laufmann brings his engineering background to bear on the marvels of human anatomy, showing us how the human body is not just functional but brilliantly designed. We'll explore how engineering intersects with biology, how an engineer and a physician worked together to lay out this evidence, and what the new streamlined book can offer readers. Source

Mark Feng is the chairman and CEO of Markor, a conglomerate that includes a large retail and manufacturing operation in China, as well as brands like Caracole, A.R.T. Furniture, Jonathan Charles and Rowe. Markor was founded in a remote Chinese city in 1990 by Feng's father, an artist and former interior designer. While it has grown into a sprawling international operation, Markor still retains its origins as an art-and-design-first company. Now Feng is looking to add technology into the mix with the launch of his own AI company, DecorX. On this episode of the podcast, he speaks with host Dennis Scully about the confusing state of the furniture industry today, balancing high design with commercial appeal, and why he thinks, over time, AI will transform every part of the industry.     This episode is sponsored by LoloiLINKSMarkorDecorXDennis ScullyBusiness of Home

In this episode, I dive into why having a well-planned launch is essential when I'm rolling out an online product or service. I explain how a launch isn't just “putting something live,” but is, in fact, a marketing campaign in itself—one that must align the experience of the launch with what I'm selling. I introduce the Audience-Offer Launch Matrix, which helps me decide the right type of launch based on two core variables: how “warm” my audience is and how high the cost of my offer is. Then I walk through different launch methods (webinars, bootcamps, challenges, in-person events) and guide you on how to pick the right method to maximise sales. Key Takeaways A launch is a campaign, not just turning something on. It requires planning, buildup, and alignment with the offer.The Audience-Offer Launch Matrix is a strategic tool:If my audience is warm (they know and trust me) and the offer cost is low → I might pick a lighter launch (e.g., challenge, short webinar).If my audience is cold and/or the offer cost is high → I'll need a heavier launch (full webinar series, live event, extended nurture). I must choose the launch method based on audience warmth + offer cost/value. The method matters as much as the message. Common pitfalls: launching too soon (audience not ready), choosing a launch format that doesn't match the offer, skipping the “warm-up” phase, neglecting follow-up. I need to think about the experience my audience will have during the launch: from first contact → building interest → live/active event → offer → follow-through. After the launch, I must review performance, capture learning, and refine for next time.

Design and building websites…that's the fun part.Managing the project, collecting content, onboarding, handling revisions and feedback…typically, not so much.Which is why, if you can automate as much of the repeatable tasks and make a system and process for the “unfun” parts of a web design project, it'll make your life much easier and more profitable.That's what we're diving into this one with automation and systems specialist (and fellow 17hats user) Kristen Lettini.We get into:What automations you're missing (and why to add them NOW)The GOLD of auto-remindersUsing a CRM like 17hats to automate as much as possibleMy “before and after” automation momentWhy improving systems is THE KEY to sustainabilityGet my quote, contract & invoice templates (for free) with a 7-day trial of 17hats, the CRM I've been using for over 10 years!

Your website isn't where people find you. It's where they choose you.By the time most couples visit your site, they already know who you are. They've seen your work, heard your name, or followed you online. They're not discovering you for the first time. They're deciding if you're the right fit. In this episode, we talk about how to turn your website into a true decision-making tool instead of a simple marketing brochure. You'll learn how to meet buyers where they are in their journey, what content actually belongs on your site, and how to build the confidence that turns interest into inquiry.Takeaways:Most couples arrive on your website already interested. Your job is to help them confirm, compare, and commit.Your website fits between “solution aware” and “product aware” in the buyer's journey.Focus your site on clarity, proof, and empathy instead of broad education or inspiration.Design for return visitors who want reassurance after a call or proposal.Remember that your website is not a discovery tool. It is the decision tool that helps buyers say yes.

In this episode of The Mountain Podcast, Samuel Goulet continues on week 5 on the theme of “Design & Purpose,” emphasizing that every believer is made to share Christ with others. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 5:11–21, he explains that receiving Christ naturally leads to giving Christ, and that the love of Jesus should be the controlling force in our lives, freeing us from fear, resentment, and selfishness. Samuel outlines five practical ways to live out this calling—intercession, evangelism, counsel, edification, and restoration—encouraging listeners to be active ministers of reconciliation, to build up and restore others, and to let the love of Christ mobilize them to serve and impact those around them.

How do we design data centers for a more sustainable, resilient, and human-focused digital future? In this JSA TV interview from DCD Connect Virginia, Lindsay Hanley, Associate Principal and Mission Critical Market Sector Leader at HED, shares how her team is redefining what's possible in mission critical design.Lindsay discusses: 

High performance and faith often collide, leaving you spiritually exhausted. In this episode, Julie Holly reveals how to move from doing for God to walking with Him — and why your worth was never in your work, but in His workmanship.High performers don't usually think of themselves as performers — especially in faith. But for many, excellence in leadership has quietly merged with striving in spirituality.In this week's Sunday Vertical Integration episode, Julie Holly helps high-capacity humans uncover the difference between doing for God and being with God. Through Matthew 11:28–30 (NLT) and Psalm 127:1, she reframes the exhaustion so many faith-driven achievers feel — the weight of devotion turned into duty.You'll discover how to separate obedience from overextension, and how recalibration restores your ability to lead with peace, not pressure. This episode speaks directly to the high performer's hidden fear: that slowing down might mean losing their edge.As Julie shares from her own story — replacing communion with contribution, and learning to rest inside God's delight — you'll realize that intimacy with the Sovereign isn't measured by what you produce but by how much room you give Him to be with you.This isn't mindset work or productivity theory. It's Identity-Level Recalibration — the root-level alignment that makes every other spiritual, emotional, and leadership tool finally work again.You'll walk away with practical, faith-centered insight for burnout recovery, spiritual exhaustion, and decision fatigue — anchored in one truth: You were never called to perform for God, only to partner with Him.Today's Micro Recalibration:“If I believed the Sovereign already delights in me, how would I lead differently?”Let that question become your quiet leadership audit today. When you lead from delight, peace becomes your power.Semantic Keyword Clusters Included:high performance, burnout recovery, decision fatigue, success fatigue, role confusion, spiritual exhaustion, identity misalignment, identity drift, belonging, faith-based leadership, presence over performance, grace, stewardship, peace, leadership recalibration, wholenessNamed Entities Referenced:Jesus (Matthew 11:28–30, NLT)Psalm 127:1 (NLT)If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Designing the Core DynamicsToday, we're diving deep into a concept that sits right at the heart of game design: core dynamics. What makes a game engaging?

Post-Dispatch podcasts page: https://go.stltoday.com/0hfn43 Please consider subscribing: https://go.stltoday.com/9aigz5 When the World Series ends, the roster work begins, and the Cardinals have new staff and new leadership in place -- so will it mean new direction? On Oct. 31, the Best Podcast in Baseball drops, fittingly, the 31st episode of this season. And it's not meant to scare fans. Although, the two teams playing in the World Series might cause a shiver through Cardinals Nation about how far away the local club feels from the two tycoon clubs playing this Halloween for the championship.  Nathan Mills, an editor at the Post-Dispatch and co-host of the hockey podcast Net Front Presence, joins baseball writer Derrick Goold in a brand new BPIB to discuss how far away the Cardinals are from playing this late into October. Also discussed: What lessons can be taken from a World Series that features two of the top-five payrolls in the game, what pitchers fit the Cardinals needs, and what priorities the Cardinals should set for this winter when splurging and star-chasing seems unlikely. The butterfly effect of new positions and new hires for the front office is detailed, as it whether such moves reinvigorate a fanbase. Many words that begin with the prefix re- are used in the making of this podcast. In its 13th season as one of the first and most widely heard podcasts on baseball and the Cardinals, the Best Podcast in Baseball has reached a new season-high with 30 episodes. Each episode is sponsored weekly by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and lead baseball writer Derrick Goold.

The U.S. office market is molting. The industry has spent the last five years shedding its old skin — and underperforming assets — and is attempting to emerge fresh and appealing to workers.Return-to-office mandates are helping bring workers back to their desks, and vacancy just ticked down for the first time since 2019. But few mandates come with teeth, meaning how many employees actually show up on any given day still comes down to how many want to, CBRE Building Operations and Experience CEO Jamie Hodari, who also co-founded and still runs Industrious, said on this week's show. And while ping pong tables and pizza parties can help bring a space to life, he said he judges the success of the office based on whether people have their heads up talking to each other.“If people are interacting with each other, if people are learning from each other, I don't care what the lighting is,” he said. “I don't care if the windows are 13 feet or 10 feet or whatever, that's a commute-worthy office.”

AN ELEGY FOR THE ELITE—Michael Grynbaum is a correspondent for The New York Times, where he has covered media, politics, and culture for 18 years. He's reported on three presidential campaigns, two New York City mayors—they're always so boring—and the transformation of the media world in the Trump era. He lives in Manhattan and he's a graduate of Harvard.His first book, Empire of the Elite: Inside Condé Nast, the Media Dynasty that Reshaped America, was published by Simon & Schuster in June, 2025. In the book, Michael chronicles the origins of the company, its go-go boom days in the eighties and nineties, and its more recent post-print transformation into whatever Condé Nast is these days. We'll figure that out later.Michael's bestseller captured a lot of attention when it was published—it's a bestseller and it's the latest in the line of books by and about Condé Nast magazine makers—full of great anecdotes and good stories. The kind of stuff we love here on Print Is Dead (Long Live Print!), and it's extremely readable.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Commercial Type and Freeport Press.

Nearly two months after calling on the Office of Management and Budget to bar use of xAI's Grok chatbot in government, a coalition of advocacy groups is pressing its case further after the General Services Administration struck a deal with Elon Musk's AI company to deploy Grok across the federal government. In a letter sent Wednesday to OMB Director Russell Vought, the advocacy groups reiterated their concerns in the wake of the GSA OneGov deal, along with recent comments from Michael Kratsios, the director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. “OMB is entrusted with ensuring that AI systems procured by the federal government meet the highest standards of truth-seeking, accuracy and neutrality,” the letter, led by Public Citizen, stated. “Grok has repeatedly demonstrated failures in these areas and Director Kratsios himself has confirmed that such behavior is the precise type that Executive Order 14319 was designed to prevent.” The letter refers to an executive order signed by President Donald Trump in July that seeks to prevent “woke AI,” or ideological biases in models that are used by the federal government. The groups argued in their August letter to Vought that the use of Grok contradicts this order, given its past controversies with spewing antisemitic and pro-Hitler content. Weeks after the letter was sent, GSA inked a deal with xAI to offer Grok models to the government for a nominal cost. Under the deal, federal agencies can buy Grok 4 and Grok 4 Fast for 42 cents until March 2027. The White House appears to be moving forward with plans to redesign federal government websites, registering a new government domain — techforce.gov — this week. The new URL, which was first discovered Thursday by a bot tracking new government domains, leads to a sign-in page that states “National Design Studio” and “Tech Force” at the top. It includes a form for users to submit their email and receive a code to access the website. Records maintained by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency show the domain was registered Oct. 24 and last changed Wednesday. The domain registration comes more than two months after President Donald Trump signed an executive order launching an “America by Design” initiative focused on both digital and physical spaces. A new National Design Studio and chief design officer will lead the initiative and coordinate agency actions. The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

Vijoy Pandey joins Sebastian Hassinger for this episode of The New Quantum Era to discuss Cisco's ambitious vision for quantum networking—not as a far-future technology, but as infrastructure that solves real problems today. Leading Outshift by Cisco, their incubation group and Cisco Research, Vijoy explains how quantum networks are closer than quantum computers, why distributed quantum computing is the path to scale, and how entanglement-based protocols can tackle immediate classical challenges in security, synchronization, and coordination. The conversation spans from Vijoy's origin story building a Hindi chatbot in the late 1980s to Cisco's groundbreaking room-temperature quantum entanglement chip developed with UC Santa Barbara, and explores use cases from high-frequency trading to telescope array synchronization.Guest BioVijoy Pandey is Senior Vice President at Outshift by Cisco, the company's internal incubation group, where he also leads Cisco Research and Cisco Developer Relations (DevNet). His career in computing began in high school building AI chatbots, eventually leading him through distributed systems and software engineering roles including time at Google. At Cisco, Vijoy oversees a portfolio spanning quantum networking, security, observability, and emerging technologies, operating at the intersection of research and product incubation within the company's Chief Strategy Office.Key TopicsFrom research to systems: How Cisco's quantum work is transitioning from physics research to systems engineering, focusing on operability, deployment, and practical applications rather than building quantum computers.The distributed quantum computing vision: Cisco's North Star is building quantum network fabric that enables scale-out distributed quantum computing across heterogeneous QPU technologies (trapped ion, superconducting, etc.) within data centers and between them—making "the quantum network the solution" to quantum's scaling problem and classical computing's physics problem.Room-temperature entanglement chip: Cisco and UC Santa Barbara developed a prototype photonic chip that generates 200 million entangled photon pairs per second at room temperature, telecom wavelengths, and less than 1 milliwatt power—enabling deployment on existing fiber infrastructure without specialized equipment.Classical use cases today: How quantum networking protocols solve present-day problems in synchronization (global database clocks, telescope arrays), decision coordination (high-frequency trading across geographically distributed exchanges), and security (intrusion detection using entanglement collapse) without requiring massive qubit counts or cryogenic systems.Quantum telepathy for HFT: The concept of using entanglement and teleportation to coordinate decisions across locations faster than the speed of light allows classical communication—enabling fairness guarantees for high-frequency trading across data centers in different cities.Meeting customers where they are: Cisco's strategy to deploy quantum networking capabilities alongside existing classical infrastructure, supporting a spectrum from standard TLS to post-quantum cryptography to QKD, rather than requiring greenfield deployments.The transduction grand challenge: Why building the "NIC card" that connects quantum processors to quantum networks—the transducer—is the critical bottleneck for distributed quantum computing and the key technical risk Cisco is addressing.Product-company fit in corporate innovation: How Outshift operates like internal startups within Cisco, focusing on problems adjacent to the company's four pillars (networking, security, observability, collaboration) with both technology risk and market risk, while maintaining agility through a framework adapted from Cisco's acquisition integration playbook.Why It MattersCisco's systems-level approach to quantum networking represents a paradigm shift from viewing quantum as distant future technology to infrastructure deployable today for specific high-value use cases. By focusing on room-temperature, telecom-compatible entanglement sources and software stacks that integrate with existing networks, Cisco is positioning quantum networking as the bridge between classical and quantum computing worlds—potentially accelerating practical quantum applications from decades away to 5-10 years while solving immediate enterprise challenges in security and coordination.Episode HighlightsVijoy's journey from building Hindi chatbots on a BBC Micro in the late 1980s to leading quantum innovation at Cisco. Why quantum networking is "here and now" while quantum computing is still being figured out. The spectrum of quantum network applications: from near-term classical coordination problems to the long-term quantum internet connecting quantum data centers and sensors. How entanglement enables provable intrusion detection on standard fiber networks alongside classical IP traffic. The "step function moment" coming for quantum: why the transition from physics to systems engineering means a ChatGPT-like breakthrough is imminent, and why this one will be harder to catch up on than software-based revolutions. Design partner collaborations with financial services, federal agencies, and energy companies on security and synchronization use cases.Cisco's quantum software stack prototypes: Quantum Compiler (for distributed quantum error correction), Quantum Alert (security), and QuantumSync (decision coordination).

I went to a Catholic all-boys high school run by the Christian Brothers, a teaching order founded by St. John the Baptist De La Salle. I will give them credit for giving me great preparation for future academic success, and even maybe this podcast. So at the foundation of Experience by Design are the Christian Brothers. But that wasn't my first brush with Catholicism. I did a fair number of the sacraments growing up and into adulthood, a process which included learning about the tenets and history of such central figures like Jesus. One of the things I recall learning about was the Sermon on the Mount and the Beatitudes. I also preferred the Beatitudes to things like the Ten Commandments. In a way the Commandments can read like the rules of a HOA of all the things you can't do. It is important to remember things like “Thou shall not kill” and not to “covet thy neighbor's wife.” But I liked the Beatitudes because they gave props to people already doing good things.A really good one is “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”Regardless of your religious or spiritual beliefs, I think we can all get behind that, especially at a time when there is so much conflict. The Armed Conflict Location and Event Data global monitor organization states, “Recent levels of violence have been unprecedentedly high, with several ‘record-breaking' months in the past year.” But this just doesn't mean armed conflict on the international stage. Things are tense all over with all kinds of conflict everyday.Which is why we have Josh Gordon as a guest on Experience by Design. I've known Josh for a long time, but primarily in the capacity of a fellow runner and training partner. Josh also is a faculty member at the University of Oregon, a leader in the area of sports mediation, and the founder of the Sports Conflict Institute. In his career, Josh has done work with FIFA, Major League Baseball, Court of Arbitration for Sport, and others. We talk about fairness and equity in sports, and why emphasizing the opportunities provided by sports are meaningful and should not be derailed. We explore how we can build inclusive cultures through sports. He takes us into his work at the collegiate level, and how setting expectations ahead of time can produce greater satisfaction and happiness with ensuing experiences. We also talk about the difference between ‘distress' and ‘eustress', and why a little bit of friction can be essential to growth. Finally we explore how we can create equitable organizational cultures, and why the perception of fairness can be more important that the presence of outcome.Sports Conflict Institute: https://sportsconflict.orgJosh Gordon: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuagordonSports Conflict Institute TV: https://sportsconflict.org/sci-tv/

Allison Kent-Gunn knows good beauty packaging when she sees it.  The Los Angeles-based aesthetician-turned-packaging consultant has become one of the leading voices in beauty packaging on social media thanks to her "hot takes" on packaging wins and misses. She's a former cosmetic packaging instructor at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, and outside of her social media, where she goes by @AllisonTurquoise, her insights can be seen in an upcoming Cosmetic Science Textbook used in packaging courses.  Today's episode of the Glossy Beauty Podcast —  a special episode dedicated to the best, and worst, beauty packaging — concludes our three-part, deep-dive series on the world of beauty and wellness packaging. Kent-Gunn provides an in-depth hall of fame and shame for several packaging categories, including sustainability, accessibility, celebrity brands' packaging and more.  But first, Lexy Lebsack is joined by Emily Jensen to run down the beauty and wellness news of the week.  First up is a look at the growing wellness data economy, including a look at the value of data collection and aneb analysis of Rebook's new health tracker ring. The hosts also discuss fragrance news from Unilever-owned Dove. The mass body-care brand is launching its first-ever body mists as part of a limited-edition holiday collection released with the Rockettes. The iconic New York dancers recently partnered with Sephora, as well. Next up are details about POV Beauty's foray into color cosmetics. POV is the buzzy new line from influencer and TikTok star Mikayla Nogueira.

Worum geht's? Ende der 1980er-Jahre erscheint ein Spiel, das kaum in eine Schublade oder ein Genre passt und doch einen immensen Erfolg hat: Sid Meier's Pirates! (1987). Eine wilde Mischung aus Strategie, Action, Rollenspiel und Geschichtensimulation, und bis heute eines der prägendsten Beispiele für „emergentes Gameplay“. Als Freibeuter segelt man durch die Karibik, kapert Schiffe, handelt mit Waren, sucht nach Schätzen, umwirbt Gouverneurstöchter – und schreibt seine eigene Piratengeschichte. Gunnar und Christian sprechen in dieser Folge über den Reiz dieses Freibeuterlebens, über das clevere Design, das Freiheit mit klarer Struktur verbindet, über die historische Faszination des 17. Jahrhunderts und die Entstehungsgeschichte des Spiels. Infos zum Spiel: Thema: Sid Meier's Pirates!
