Podcasts about Design

When you think about decorating your home, do you feel inspired... or just overwhelmed? Many moms dismiss design as something extra or unnecessary. But what if creating a space you love could actually support your well-being, reduce stress, and help you feel more grounded in your motherhood? In this episode, I'm joined by Valerie Bradshaw, a longtime Self-Assured Motherhood Sister and home design enthusiast, who shares how to approach decorating with color, confidence, and alignment with your personal values. It's not about impressing others—it's about creating an environment that reflects who you are and how you want to feel in your home. Together, we explore why our surroundings matter so much, and how simple, intentional design choices can transform not just our spaces but our mindset, energy, and even our relationships. In this conversation, you'll learn:

Ever wondered why changing habits feels like an uphill battle?Behavioral scientist Matt Wallert pulls back the curtain on how human behavior can be systematically designed and changed – not through wishful thinking, but through a scientific process.What if culture change, product design, or even personal transformation wasn't guesswork but a process as reliable as engineering?In this episode of Change Wired, I sit down with behavioral scientist, author, and “empathetic scientific activist” Matt Wallaert to talk about the science - and the humanity - behind designing change that actually happens.We get into everything from M&Ms to meeting culture, VR boxing to corporate ethics, and why fuzzy words in leadership are killing your results. Matt breaks down how all behavior results from competing forces – promoting pressures that make behaviors more likely and inhibiting pressures that make them less likely. Through practical examples ranging from M&Ms to VR boxing to parenting, Matt demonstrates how small environmental changes can create massive behavioral shifts.Perhaps most fascinating is Matt's insight into organizational change. While companies obsess over changing customer behavior, they often neglect internal behavior design. "Fuzzy leadership language" about wanting "more engaged employees" or "better culture" fails because it doesn't translate to specific, observable behaviors. Matt provides a framework for creating workplaces where people thrive by applying the same rigor to internal behaviors that companies apply to customer acquisition.The conversation takes a thought-provoking turn when Matt and the host discuss the ethics of behavior change. When is it appropriate to change someone's behavior? How do we ensure we're helping people align their actions with their intentions rather than exploiting cognitive weaknesses? Whether you're looking to transform personal habits, lead organizational change, or design products that genuinely improve lives, this episode offers effective frameworks for making behavior change systematic, ethical, and effective.We dive into:Why defining specific behaviors is the missing first step in almost every change effortThe difference between naïve behavior change and evidence-based designHow to think about promoting vs. inhibiting pressures (and why it matters more than motivation)Real-life examples from parenting, product design, and internal culture changeEthics in behavioral science: intention–action gaps, autonomy, and long-term thinkingHow leaders can stop hiding behind values statements and start engineering cultures that workIt's practical. It's funny in places. And it might just make you rethink the way you design… everything.Links & Resources MentionedMatt's Website: mattwallaert.comFree Behavioral Science Course: SIDE Model Training (recently made free)Matt's book: Start at the End: How to Build Products That Create ChangeConnect with Matt on LinkedInIf you lead people, build products, or want to change your own life, this episode will give you a toolkit Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina Behavior-First Change Leadership & Culture Transformation ConsultantEXECUTIVE & OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE COACH

Episode 1775: Mike Smerklo explores how our inner fears, what he calls the “monsters under the bed,” can sabotage our potential, especially when we don't have mentors to guide us. By revealing his personal struggles and lessons learned, he highlights how intentional mentorship can quiet self-doubt and accelerate growth in both career and character. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.mikesmerklo.com/mentorship-and-the-monster-under-the-bed/ Quotes to ponder: "Left unchecked, this voice of fear can keep you from realizing your true potential."

In dieser Episode von "Dirty Minutes Left" nehmen Holger und Arne ihre Hörer mit in die Welt der Energy Drinks und Videospiele. Während sie eine Zeit lang dem Rockstar Energy Drink Zero Sugar Blueberry Mint Flavor frönen, unterhalten sie sich über die Vorzüge und Geschmacksnoten des Getränks. Holger bemerkt, dass das Minzaroma etwas stärker herausstechen könnte, während Arne sich über den klassischen Blaubeergeschmack freut, der in vielen Energy Drings geschätzt wird. Die beiden Podcaster widmen sich dann einem Spiel namens "Rohak Amor Force Rogar", das Holger an Metal Slug erinnert. Sie erörtern die Mechaniken des Spiels, die einzigartigen Merkmale und die Verwirrung, die manchmal durch die Perspektivenwechsel entsteht. Arne spricht über die Herausforderung, seine Schüsse in die richtige Richtung zu lenken und wie das Spiel damit umgeht, unterschiedliche Waffen einzusammeln. Obwohl sie einige positive Aspekte erkennen, sind sie sich einig, dass es bessere Titel im Genre gibt. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt der Episode ist Arnold, der über seine laufende Slow Carb Diät spricht und seine Fortschritte beim Abnehmen teilt. Er ist motiviert und plant ein Lauftraining für das bevorstehende Airport Race. Holger berichtet, dass seine Tochter wieder die Kita besucht und reflektiert über den Verlauf seiner sportlichen Aktivitäten. Es wird auch ein neues Evercade-Spiel angekündigt, das von Holger sehnsüchtig erwartet wird, während Arne sich über das neue Rare Collection für die Evercade begeistert. Die beiden diskutieren auch über Holgers Fortschritt bei seiner App zur Podcast-Wiedergabe, die er plant, und die Herausforderungen, die mit der Fertigstellung verbunden sind. Er erläutert, welche innovativen Funktionen er implementieren möchte und die Überlegungen zur Namensgebung und zum Design seiner App. Zum Schluss teilen sie ihre Leseerfahrungen und die jüngsten Medien, die sie konsumiert haben, wobei Holger von einem Buch des Schlagzeugers der Band "Die Ärzte" spricht und Arne sein Interesse an einem neuen Werk von Andreas Eschbach bekundet, das sich um die "Drei Fragezeichen" dreht. Diese Episode ist eine abwechslungsreiche Mischung aus Gaming, Diät, App-Entwicklung und literarischen Empfehlungen, die den Hörern einen Einblick in die Gedankenwelt der beiden Gastgeber bietet.

In der aktuellen Podcast-Folge hatte ich das Vergnügen, mit Pirmin Reimeir zu sprechen. Pirmin ist Lead Product Manager bei Audi im Kooperationsprojekt mit SAIC Motors – und das für die neue Marke AUDI, die in China bewusst mit vier Großbuchstaben geschrieben wird. Gemeinsam mit einem kleinen Team arbeitet er daran, eine eigenständige Audi-Schwester auf dem chinesischen Markt zu etablieren, die jüngere, technikaffine Kund:innen anspricht – und sich damit ganz klar von der klassischen Premium-Marke mit den vier Ringen abgrenzt. Was sofort klar wird: Das Projekt ist mehr als ein weiterer Marktentritt. Es ist ein Paradigmenwechsel. „Früher haben wir Technologien aus Deutschland nach China gebracht und sie lokal adaptiert. Jetzt entwickeln wir direkt vor Ort – mit dem Ohr am chinesischen Kunden.“ Der Fokus liegt auf einem radikal lokalisierten Ansatz: Produkte werden in China für China entwickelt, mit lokaler Plattform, Softwarearchitektur und Design. Und das ist kein Zufall: Zwei Drittel aller weltweit verkauften Elektroautos rollen in China vom Band. Wer hier mithalten will, muss anders denken. Ein Beispiel für diesen neuen Ansatz ist der Audi Assistant – ein digitaler Avatar im OLED-Display, der mit den Nutzer:innen interagiert. „So ein Feature würde ein durchschnittlich 20 Jahre älterer europäischer Kunde vielleicht als Spielerei empfinden – in China trifft es den Nerv der Zielgruppe,“ so Pirmin. Gleichzeitig bleibt die technische DNA erhalten: das Premium-Fahrerlebnis, das sich durch die Audi-typische Abstimmung von Fahrwerk und Quattro-Antrieb auszeichnet, wird weiterhin maßgeblich in Europa entwickelt. Spannend ist, wie sich das neue China-Audi bewusst vom traditionellen Joint Venture mit FAW und der globalen Audi-Marke unterscheidet – und gleichzeitig Verbundenheit signalisiert. Beide teilen sich den Leitsatz „Vorsprung durch Technik“, doch die Interpretation unterscheidet sich je nach Zielgruppe. Die neue Marke spielt stärker mit mutigem Design, digitalen Features und jugendlicher Bildsprache. Dennoch ist sie tief in der Audi-Heritage verwurzelt. „Auch die ersten Audis trugen zunächst vier Buchstaben, bevor die Ringe kamen“, erinnert Pirmin. Was mich beeindruckt hat, ist der kollaborative Spirit, den Pirmin beschreibt. In China herrsche eine andere Offenheit – man denke in Win-win-Szenarien, arbeite transparenter zusammen, auch über Unternehmensgrenzen hinweg. „In Europa zeigt jeder, was er kann, aber keiner lässt den anderen reinschauen. Hier versucht man gemeinsam, den Kuchen größer zu machen.“ Auch organisatorisch agiert das China-Team agiler, mit flachen Strukturen und schnellen Entscheidungen – oft per WeChat. Diese Geschwindigkeit – der berühmte „China Speed“ – ist für Pirmin kein Nachteil, sondern täglicher Antrieb. „Hier passiert gerade die spannendste Entwicklung der Automobilindustrie weltweit.“ Er schätzt den digitalen Alltag, das Tempo, die Dynamik – beruflich wie privat. Das Projekt ist für ihn mehr als ein Job. Es ist Teil einer grundlegenden Transformation, die Audi in China gerade durchlebt – und vielleicht bald auf andere Märkte abstrahlen wird. Nun aber genug der Vorworte – hör am besten selbst rein und erfahre aus erster Hand, wie Audi mit vier Buchstaben den vielleicht wichtigsten Automarkt der Welt neu denkt.

Magic is made not by a single designer but by a large group of people. In this podcast, I talk about how that affects game design.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.mikesmerklo.com/mentorship-and-the-monster-under-the-bed/ Quotes to ponder: "Finding a mentor starts with conquering the monster under the bed, fear, insecurity, and self-doubt."

Drywall is one of the most commonly used materials in construction — and one of the most wasteful. It's estimated that more than 10 percent of drywall from new buildings end up in landfills. The material can release harmful gasses, such as hydrogen sulfide, and act as a potential contaminant for groundwater. But two architecture professors at Washington State University’s School of Design and Construction have developed a way to turn this waste into something useful.   Taiji Miyasaka and David Drake have spent years developing and patenting a process to transform drywall scraps into usable building blocks — a substitute for bricks — and fire-resistant wall panels that are both known as Drywall Waste Technology. Made with up to 90 percent drywall waste, WSU estimates that excess material from just 16 new homes could produce enough DWT material to build one tiny home. Miyasaka and Drake’s products have earned international acclaim, winning the AZ Award for Environmental Leadership in Azure magazine’s global design competition.   David Drake joins us to explain how this technology could be a resource in addressing both housing shortages and construction waste.  

In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and co-host Rode Dog tackle some of the most pressing questions facing business coaches: how to harness AI (like ChatGPT and Grok) to grow your coaching practice, which industries are likely to be safe from AI disruption, and where exactly to find—and close—high-end coaching clients in today's dynamic business landscape. Karl also unpacks the art of closing with confidence, breaks down a powerful Zen-inspired mindset shift, and explains why product quality is the domino that knocks down all other business challenges. Key Topics Covered AI Prompt Engineering for Business Coaches Karl shares how specificity and defining context are vital when prompting AI tools like ChatGPT and Grok. He walks through advanced examples of framing prompts to get world-class business advice personalized to your ideal client and circumstance. Industries Resilient to AI Disruption The conversation covers which industries are least likely to be “decimated” by AI over the next decade. Empathy-driven sectors—like coaching, healthcare, and education—are less vulnerable to automation, along with trades (construction, home services), fine arts, government, and cybersecurity. Where to Find High-End Coaching Clients Karl details actionable strategies to uncover business owners ready to invest in coaching, such as: Targeting businesses actively spending on advertising, new award nominees/winners, and recent chamber of commerce members. Building relationships with the people who sell advertising, chamber memberships, and run award programs—offering referral incentives to tap into fresh, motivated prospects. Approaching businesses for sale, as they often desperately need systematization and profit optimization to become sellable. The Art of Closing Clients (with Scaled Pricing) Karl shares his proven “scaled pricing” hack: rather than cutting your fee, start clients at a low monthly rate and gradually increase once trust and value are established, making it easy for new clients to say yes—while still closing at top-dollar over time. Product vs. Sales vs. Marketing: The Navil Ravikant Framework A key insight: most problems in sales and marketing are really product problems. If your product is “world-class,” word of mouth will eventually outshine all marketing efforts. Karl urges coaches to aim for such client outcomes that competitors end up sending you leads. Zen Wisdom for Coaches: The Myth of a Happy Life Karl closes the episode with a reflection: a happy “life” doesn't exist—only happy moments, created one present instant at a time. Drawing parallels to AA's “one day at a time,” he challenges listeners to focus on moment-to-moment progress for lasting fulfillment. Notable Quotes “Prompt engineering is everything. Get insanely specific—and define your ideal client and circumstances in your AI prompt for killer results.” “Empathy and connection are your moat. AI accelerates, but it cannot replicate genuine human mentorship.” “Don't chase only new revenue—chase profit. Profit is the domino that knocks over all the other dominoes.” “If you can't close at your fee, don't discount—use scaled pricing... get the yes with a low commitment and ramp up.” “People sacrifice what they want most for what they want now. That's a bad trade.” Actionable Takeaways 1. Become a Prompt Engineering Pro: Level up your AI game by defining who is answering your question, who your client is, and exactly what you want—test and refine prompts for actionable advice tailored to your needs. 2. Focus Where Clients Spend to Grow: Target business owners already investing in advertising, awards, or memberships—they've shown intent to grow and are prime for business coaching. 3. Build Referral Pipelines With Influencers: Cultivate relationships with those selling ads, chamber memberships, and awards—often overlooked, they'll gladly refer for a meaningful incentive. 4. Use Scaled Pricing to Close With Confidence: Instead of slashing your coaching fee, start with a low rate for the first month and ramp up; this reduces buyer risk and makes it easy for prospects to commit to a high-value engagement. 5. Double Down on Empathy, Not Just Tactics: Lean into the human side: your ability to connect, understand, and support clients will future-proof your practice in the AI era. 6. Build a Product Worthy of Referrals: If you had to grow exclusively through referrals, how would you reshape your service and delivery? Design a “product” so good, it sells itself. 7. Don't Aim for a Happy Life—Aim for Happy Moments: Prioritize meaningful daily wins and present-moment focus over the impossible chase for constant happiness.

The original Opportunity Zone program drove more than $100B into real estate and business investment, but it also faced criticism it missed its mark, failing to spur development in the areas that needed it most.The One Big Beautiful Bill Act just made OZs permanent and it aims to fix all that, tightening the rules on what areas may be designated OZs, lowering the area median income threshold and heavily incentivizing rural development.On this week's First Draft Live, Steve Glickman — co-author of the original OZ program and CEO of Statt — said OZs have been a wild success, especially at spurring much-needed housing.“You're talking bang for the buck that's unparalleled,” he said.Glickman said the new rules will make OZ 2.0 even better, though how much it drives rural development all comes down to designating sites at “the nexus between need and investability.”Register on Bisnow.com to join next Friday's conversation live, or check back here for the conversation after it airs.

What do glassblowing, fintech, and plastic-free diapers have in common? One brilliant disruptor: Jim McKelvey. I had the privilege of interviewing Jim McKelvey, the award-winning, Amazon-beating polymath who co-founded Square (now Block) with Jack Dorsey. But calling him just a fintech entrepreneur or a computer scientist would be like calling Leonardo da Vinci just a painter. This man defies categorization in the most fascinating way possible. "I'm a guy that's had no focus for 30 years," Jim told me with characteristic humility. "I am a transport category pilot. I'm a professional glass artist with industrial designs in MoMA and the Smithsonian. I'm a computer scientist. I was on the Federal Reserve and used to vote on interest rates. That was fun. I built the hardware for Square, which we now call Block. I've started a bunch of other companies...Ugh. Look, basically, what I do is I build tools." His "lack of focus" has actually been his superpower, creating a truly unique lens on innovation, branding, and problem-solving that most specialists simply can't achieve. From Frustration to Billion-Dollar Solutions Our conversation revealed how Jim transforms everyday frustrations into industry-changing innovations. The Square story began with something as mundane as being unable to accept American Express at his glass studio. That simple pain point sparked a billion-dollar disruption that fundamentally changed mobile payments forever.  Jim shared his methodology for spotting opportunities hiding in plain sight and building products that resonate deeply with audiences. More importantly, he explained how he predicts business disasters before they happen – and his track record is impressive! Hint: his accurate predictions about Southwest Airlines and other major corporate meltdowns, made it into his book "The Innovation Stack" years before its current challenges. Then he shares how and why brand associations can make or break a company (hello, Bud Light disaster. Listen for how that motivated his current project, PwrScore.ai.) The Art of Taking Calculated Risks What struck me most about Jim was his fearless approach to high-risk, high-impact projects. "I work on projects that are right now, sort of long shots because I'm in a position where I can take a long shot," he explained. "I've made way, way more money than I ever expected. My wife and I have taken the giving pledge, so we're gonna give all the money away, but in the meantime, I can take crazy risks." That's not just talk – Jim and his wife have literally committed to giving away their entire fortune for the betterment of the world. It's a level of commitment to pro-social behavior that's both inspiring and rare in today's business landscape. Two Game-Changing Projects You Need to Know About Jim pulled back the curtain on his current ventures, and they're both fascinating for completely different reasons. First is PwrScore, a that tool that measures and assesses brand resonance and compatibility using AI to minimize research bias and enhance brand capabilities through better data. The kicker? He's giving it away for free. Yes, really. This isn't some limited trial – it's a genuinely useful tool that most companies would charge thousands for, and Jim is just handing it out because he believes it can help businesses make better decisions. PwrScore.ai The second project might sound unusual, but it could change the world: plastic-free diapers. "Diapers last for a thousand years and they become these horrible microplastics that are bad for the world, and I just thought it could be possible to do it without plastic. So I've been working on it for five years with a team. We're this close to a breakthrough..." Think about it – billions of diapers end up in landfills every year, taking centuries to decompose and creating environmental havoc. If Jim cracks this code, the sustainability impact could be massive.

Tracy Cherpeski shares insights into the Practice Growth Readiness Intensive, a four-week program designed to help healthcare practice owners move from feeling overwhelmed to gaining crystal-clear direction. This snack episode reveals the market gaps driving demand for this intensive format and the measurable outcomes participants can expect.  Key Highlights:  The number one complaint from practice owners is always time, followed closely by burnout and isolation  Most clients don't see bottom-line changes for 90 days, but the intensive provides immediate clarity and a strategic roadmap  Ideal participants have at least one year of practice ownership experience and are financially stable enough to invest in growth  Physical changes often appear first - better sleep, reduced tension, faster decision-making  Average client ROI is 10x within 12-18 months, with most recouping their investment within 90 days  The program bridges the gap between clinical excellence and business leadership confidence  Memorable Quotes: "There's such a difference between clinical excellence and confidence and business excellence and confidence."  "A lot of times once we get to know somebody, they'll confess later: 'Yeah, I feel like I don't really know what I'm doing,' and that's incredibly difficult for any highly trained professional to admit."  "You set the tone for the culture of your practice. And that can have an incredibly positive impact on your entire team, and that goes out to your patients and that ripples out to your community."  This episode offers a rare glimpse into the methodology behind helping healthcare providers reclaim their time while building thriving, sustainable practices. Whether you're feeling stuck or ready to scale, Tracy's insights provide a clear path forward.  Miranda's Bio:  Miranda Dorta, B.F.A.

You're a busy professional with ADHD, and you feel like you're constantly fighting an uphill battle. But what if the problem isn't you….it's that you're using your brain's "operating manual" incorrectly? This episode is about moving past the idea that you need to be "fixed" and instead learning to honor how your ADHD brain actually works. By understanding its wiring, you can stop fighting yourself and start creating a system that allows you to thrive. Dave is an entrepreneur with ADHD, not a doctor. His advice comes from decades of executive and entrepreneurial experience as an adult with ADHD. Actionable Advice for Honoring Your ADHD Brain Acknowledge Your Wiring: Accept that your brain is wired for interest, novelty, and urgency, not routine. Don't compare yourself to neurotypical standards. Optimize for Energy, Not Just Time: Ditch the idea of "I'll just stay late" and start scheduling around your energy levels. Use External Structures: Your brain isn't lazy; it's overloaded. Use external cues like visual boards, phone reminders, and a “home base” for important items. Don't complicate it…just get things out of your head every day. Build Momentum Over Perfection: Motivation comes from starting, not from waiting to "get it right." Design for Dopamine: Your ADHD brain craves dopamine. Build rewards into your workflow, like a coffee break after a difficult task, and rotate your environments to boost stimulation and engagement. Practice Self-Compassion: High-achievers with ADHD often carry hidden shame. When you find yourself being self-critical, stop and say, "Not today." Acknowledge your wins, no matter how small, and ask yourself what worked this week so you can do more of it. **Do you want to work with Dave one-on-one?

“If you don't own your pricing strategy, you're leaving money – and customers – on the table.” In this episode, host Rebecca Kalogeris sits down with Marcos Rivera, founder of Pricing IO and author of Street Pricing, to unpack one of the most overlooked opportunities in SaaS: building a pricing strategy that matches the value your product delivers. A former product leader turned pricing expert, Marcos shares the most common pricing mistakes SaaS companies make, from lazy segmentation and low-value framing to treating pricing as an afterthought. He outlines a better path forward: one rooted in deep customer understanding, thoughtful packaging, and continuous alignment between price and perceived value. If you've ever launched a great product only to watch it struggle to sell, or you've relied on guesswork when it came time to price, it's time to stop winging it. This episode will show you how.

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...   What to do if your child is assigned a teacher whose style may not seem like the best match. How to advocate for your child in a way that supports collaboration and avoids conflict. Why starting the school year with a proactive email to the teacher can set the tone for a strong partnership. The surprising benefits a strict or “old school” teacher might actually offer sensitive kids. How to prepare your child to advocate for themselves, build resilience, and navigate new classroom dynamics.
