  Guest: Doug Powell, author, speaker   If you'd like to watch this podcast, check out the PCA YouTube page.   Doug Powell is a multi-talented individual - from musician to novelist to graphic designer and programmer to Christian apologist - Powell might remind you a little of the Ben Gates character from the National Treasure movies. The comparison to Ben Gates is one that I make in this interview with Doug because his book, The Well of the Soul, is an archaeological thriller similar in style to the National Treasure series, but with a Christian element.   Powell is looking to bring that element of suspense mixed with historical facts and Biblical archaeology to the stage at this year's Biblical Worldview Conference, September 27-29, 2026.

Doug Powell joins us to talk about his latest projects, and shares some unforgettable stories.

Throughout season 3 of this series, I've been speaking with leaders in the practice of civic design; designers who have dedicated their careers to improving the everyday experience we, as citizens, have when we interact with our government. My guests for this episode are two of the most respected leaders in the global civic design community: Arianne Miller and Sean Baker. For more than a decade, Arianne and Sean worked side by side as leaders of The Lab at OPM, a pioneering human-centered design team embedded within the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. Arianne served as Managing Director, and Sean as Director of Design Strategy and Operations.The Lab at OPM was dissolved in early 2025 as part of the Trump administration's sweeping cuts to U.S. federal government staffing. Since then, Arianne and Sean founded Civic Design Collaborative, with a mission to help government and civic-minded organizations create services that are easier to use, more equitable, and more effective.In our conversation, I was struck by how their approach to driving sustainable change in government is actually transferable to other complex, scaled organizations, especially in the private sector. We touched on themes that come up again and again on this podcast: the importance of building trust and nurturing relationships with key stakeholders, and approaching complex problems with deep curiosity and humility.Doug Powell is an award-winning designer and executive design leader with more than 30 years of experience in a wide range of design disciplines.

One of the core principles of my leadership courses and coaching engagements is that, as design leaders, we are always agents of change in complex, scaled organizations, always challenging entrenched ways of working and cultural norms, especially in legacy enterprises. But here's the thing: transforming a company is far easier said than done. In his new book Irresistible Change: A Blueprint for Earning Buy-in and Breakout Success, Phil Gilbert provides an actionable playbook for leaders across disciplines to drive durable, sustainable, and scalable change by turning change itself into a product, and by managing it as you would an early stage startup. Phil was the General Manager of Design at IBM between 2012-2021, and the book documents the design-driven transformation he architected at that historic global technology company during those years, a transformation that included adding more than 3,000 practicing designers to the company globally, and training more than 200,000 IBMers as design thinkers. Last month, I sat down with Phil at the State Theatre in downtown Austin, Texas—the home base for the IBM Design program and its flagship studio—for an evening of stories from our IBM days, and insights from the new book.  Doug Powell is an award-winning designer and executive design leader with more than 30 years of experience in a wide range of design disciplines.

On August 28, I hosted a webinar on Building Diverse Design Teams in which I spoke to some of the top leaders in design about the importance of building a more diverse, equitable and representative profession—and what we as individual leaders can do to make that happen. The event was also a fundraiser for an organization called Diversify by Design, and their program DESIGN=, which provides design curriculum kits, teacher training, mentorship, and career guidance to middle- and high-school classrooms in marginalized communities. My co-host for the event was design leader, educator, author, and tv presenter, Kevin Bethune. In part two of this two-part episode, Kevin and I are joined by Tysonn Betts, Omari Souza, and Debbie Millman, and we also heard from students who are working with the DESIGN= curriculum kits in the classroom. In part one—which dropped last week—we were joined by Oen Hammonds, Shawn Williams, and Ellen McGirt.Doug Powell is an award-winning designer and executive design leader with more than 30 years of experience in a wide range of design disciplines.

What if your next competitive advantage wasn't a new product, but a new kind of leader? Doug Powell believes designers and design thinkers have the skills business needs most right now, the ability to connect human needs with strategic goals, to navigate uncertainty, and to see opportunities others miss. In a world of rapid technological change and economic contraction, that perspective can be the difference between falling behind and defining what's next. Doug has spent his career proving it. At IBM, he helped build one of the largest corporate design programs in history, hiring over 1,000 designers, embedding human-centered design across global teams, and aligning design thinking with enterprise strategy. He's led at the highest levels of AIGA, advised Fortune 100 leaders, and now coaches executives on how to integrate design into the core of their decision-making. This is an essential time for design and designers. In the face of unprecedented global challenges and a rapidly evolving technological landscape, the core skills of human-centered design, empathy, curiosity, inclusion, collaboration, and craft, are needed more than ever. Doug believes designers are made for this moment. For business leaders, Doug's perspective is a wake-up call: designers and design thinkers are not just executors of creative work, they are catalysts for innovation, culture change, and long-term growth. Research from McKinsey shows that companies excelling in design outperform industry peers by up to 2x in revenue growth and shareholder returns. A 2023 InVision report found that 92% of high-maturity design organizations report a strong connection between design and business strategy. Doug argues that in a time of technological disruption and market uncertainty, leaders who integrate human-centered design into the decision-making core of their companies will be the ones defining what's next. In this conversation, you'll hear about: + Why companies that integrate design at the leadership level grow faster and create greater shareholder value +Lessons from building IBM's global design program from scratch in under four years +How human-centered design can break down silos and speed decision-making across functions +Why downturns are a prime opportunity to invest in innovation and talent +The lasting influence of Tibor Kalman and the responsibility of design to challenge complacency +How AIGA builds leadership capacity across industries and the value of giving back +Why designers will be at the center of AI's most transformative breakthroughs, and what leaders should do now Whether you're a CEO, CMO, or innovation lead, this episode will show you how to harness design as a strategic advantage, not just for better products, but for stronger teams, sharper strategy, and sustainable growth.

What does it take to transform a century-old tech giant into a design-led organization? Doug Powell—executive coach, former IBM design leader, and featured closing speaker at this year's Design Ops Summit—joins Lou for a wide-ranging conversation on scaling design, building community, and leading through unpredictable change. Doug shares hard-earned lessons from IBM's ambitious and trailblazing design transformation from the mid-twenty-teens: how centralization jump-started progress, why decentralization required careful timing, and what metrics ultimately proved design's business value. Along the way, he offers thoughtful advice for today's design leaders and ops pros who are navigating evolving roles and growing complexity. Whether you're leading a design team or supporting one behind the scenes, Doug's insights are a must-hear for anyone shaping the future of design operations.

What if a centuries-old cloth truly held the face, blood, and story of the most pivotal death in history? After seeing it with your own eyes, could you walk away unchanged? In this riveting account, biblical apologist Doug Powell unpacks the Shroud of Turin, and the lesser known Sudarium of Oviedo, revealing a labyrinth of historical intrigue, forensic detail, and mind-bending scientific puzzles. Medieval power struggles, pollen trails leading back to Jerusalem, and anatomical precision that mirrors the Gospel accounts of crucifixion converge into a body of evidence with startling clarity. With each revelation, the shroud moves out of legend and into the realm of tangible history, carrying the haunting possibility that it may be the very burial cloth of Christ. By the end, the question is no longer whether you believe in the shroud, it's whether you can ignore what it implies about the Resurrection itself.

Any podcast episode that begins with “I was born in Dalton, Georgia, the carpet capital of the world…” must be a good one! Throughout Season 2 of this series, host Doug Powell is speaking with guests who have established themselves as leaders in design and then have become leaders in a completely different space. Nobody embodies this leadership journey more than Doug's guest for this episode, Bill Grant. Bill is the founder and president of Grant Design Collaborative, the award-winning design firm he has led for over 30 years, and he's a former national president of AIGA, the professional association for design in the U.S. Bill is also serving his second term as mayor of Canton, Georgia, the small town outside of Atlanta where he lives and works.   In this wide-ranging conversation, Bill discusses his early influences as a designer, and how he has brought his core qualities as a designer into public service and civic leadership with remarkable success. In a time when many small towns are struggling, Canton is thriving under Bill Grant's leadership, and now proudly carries the moniker of the coolest small town in America. 

One of the best design books of 2023 was Centered: People and Ideas Diversifying Design, a remarkable collection of essays, interviews, and stories compiled and edited by my guest for this episode Professor Kaleena Sales. This amazing book spans geographical regions and cultures from Alabama to India, and from Kurdistan to Zimbabwe, illuminating designers, techniques, ideas, and artifacts that have previously gotten little or no attention by the established western design community. The book provides important context for all leaders building inclusive, human-centered design teams and programs. Kaleena Sales is Associate Professor of Graphic Design and Chair of the Art & Design Department at Tennessee State University, a historically black university in Nashville. Her research and writing are rooted in racial justice and equity, with a specific focus on the ways culture informs aesthetics.Kaleena and host Doug Powell are joined in the second half of the episode by one of the contributors to Centered, Sadie Red Wing, a Lakota/Dakota graphic designer and advocate from the Spirit Lake Dakota Nation. Sadie teaches at OCAD University in the Graphic Design and Indigenous Visual Culture programs.

When I chatted with Doug Powell at the end of February, I had no idea that it would be the last day I'd have internet... for a month. At least I got his Graham Eliot series ordered before it was too late! WHEW! So I got to chat with an apologist who decided to write archaeological thrillers. #BecauseReasons. Listen in to see how a graphic designer/songwriter became an apologist and novelist! When he said, "Think about it like Dan Brown only accurate," I knew I'd found a series for me! Note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you. What Would You Like Better Than an Archaeological Thriller? Four? Well, I'd say five... six... seven, but at least we know we're getting five, thanks to this great chat with Doug. This was supposed to have come out near the end of March, but alas and alack... no internet. So... well... sigh. It's the first of May and now we finally get this great convo. If you love all things Biblical archaeology AND if you love Biblical ACCURACY, I think you'll love these books. I got mine in the mail just a week after I ordered them and I am so excited to read them! I suspect I'll be listening to one on my hikes around England during the next couple of weeks. EEEP! My conversation with Doug Powell (he was great and anticipated questions for me since I was so sick, Thanks Doug!) is full of fascinating information that made me want to dig right into those books. Great stuff, and I can tell he did his research (after all, he went all the way to Jerusalem to make sure the cats really are there. Okay... that's not quite how it happened, but you get the idea. ;) ) The Invisible Thread by Doug Powell When a Spanish priest learns of a skeptical organization's PR stunt to replicate the Shroud of Turin, Graham Eliot becomes part of his plan to counteract the bad publicity with a new revelation about the Shroud's authenticity. And the revelation relies on Graham secretly photographing the Shroud as well as the Sudarium of Oviedo—a relic believed to be a cloth wrapped around the head of Jesus as he died on the cross. On the day Graham is to begin, the project is canceled without explanation, and a video of him calling the Shroud a fake and accusing the church of hiding something appears online. To defend his reputation, Graham must rely on the help of his eccentric translator as well as the skeptic who posted the video. But the alliance is shattered when a death occurs during the skeptic's annual convention in America—and Graham's graduate student is the one suspected of the murder.

You can also buy the books at Whitefire Publishing's website HERE and part of the proceeds will go to support the research Doug Powell used to write his books.

How do you scale service design from 10 to 100 inside an organization? That's what you'll hear in this conversation with Doug Powell. But first, let me tell you a personal story. My car was leaking oil. It started with small drips but got worse over time. The idea of having to take the entire engine apart wasn't something I was looking forward to. So we tried to “solve” the issue by tightening nuts, double-checking every seal, and adding fresh oil. As you might have guessed, the problem of course didn't go away. The car still drove, but my driveway was getting messier by the day, and the fact that I knew that I wouldn't want to take it for a long drive didn't sit well with me. So after putting up with the band-aid solutions for a while, it was time to do the unavoidable and take the engine apart. It was messy, it wasn't cheap, but it had to be done. The good news is that I'm still driving that car today. Similarly, many organizations have “leaking engines” in the form of career frameworks that have grown organically over time and don't account for the role of service design. And before you say that those are just documents HR likes to look at, let's not underestimate how important these career frameworks are. They determine salaries, promotions, and responsibilities. So while it's tempting to keep improvising and avoid the hassle of updating career frameworks, this approach only works for so long. Eventually, you'll need clarity and structure to scale your team and attract new talent. That's where Doug comes in. In our conversation, he shares lessons from standardizing and formalizing design roles, responsibilities, and titles at IBM and Expedia. You'll also hear about HR's role in this process and how you can turn this seemingly unsexy task into a design challenge that excites everyone. Regardless of whether you're a small or a big team, the insights Doug shares will help you be one step ahead when trying to scale service design… rather than having to fix things when they eventually break down. For me, this conversation was a good reminder that the success of service design within an organization isn't so much about knowing how to get the most out of our tools and methods. Instead, it's about making it part of the organizational operating system. Enjoy the conversation and keep making a positive impact :) - Marc P.S. If you're open to sharing (parts of) your career framework, I'd love to collaborate and grow the maturity of our practice. Just reach out to me! --- [ 1.

If Christ really rose from the dead, then it must have major ramifications for our lives. So how does the resurrection shape us? In this episode of White Horse Inn, Eric Landry, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Doug Powell discuss the impact of Christ's resurrection at the cosmic level, institutional level, and personal level. They consider what it means that Christ is victorious over Satan, sin, hell, death, and the grave; they unpack what it means to say “Jesus is Lord”; and they celebrate our ultimate comfort and hope found in the risen Christ. __________ Download our free PDF about the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ written by Justin Holcomb.

What kind of sermon did you hear today? In this episode of White Horse Inn, seasoned pastors Eric Landry, Justin Holcomb, and Bob Hiller are joined once again by apologist Doug Powell to discuss the essential elements of an Easter sermon—and describe some of the “misses” you might have experienced. This Easter, they hope you heard a sermon that was historical, preaching good news from outside of you; that was grounded in the Scriptures, showing Christ as the fulfillment of the Old Testament; that was applicable, demonstrating how Christ's resurrection is for you; and that mirrored Christ's loving accommodation for skeptics and doubters. __________ To get our new Reformation Essentials collection head over to whitehorseinn.org/collection. __________ Become a partner and you will receive all of the White Horse Inn extended episodes, access to our extensive archive as well as a subscription to our magazine, Modern Reformation.

Having established the minimal facts of the resurrection, how do we respond when people suggest alternative theories for explaining the missing body, the empty tomb, and Christ's post-resurrection appearances? Did Jesus simply faint on the cross? Was his body stolen? Did the women go to the wrong tomb? Did the disciples make up the resurrection story, or did it grow and develop over the years? In this episode of White Horse Inn, Eric Landry, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Doug Powell evaluate these common objections and more, helping you prepare for discussions around the table this Easter. __________ Download our free PDF about the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ written by Justin Holcomb.

“If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain,” writes the apostle Paul (1 Cor. 15:14), situating the resurrection as the central claim of Christianity—the foundation for the entire biblical worldview. But why is it so important? In this episode of White Horse Inn, Eric Landry, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Doug Powell discuss Christ's resurrection as a unique claim among world religions. They also work through “The Minimal Facts” put forward by Gary Habermas, equipping listeners with an agreed-upon baseline for proving the historicity of the resurrection and evaluating objections.

In this episode, Eli talks with Doug Powell, author of the QuickSource Guide to Christian Apologetics on how to build an apologetic arsenal. We also talk presuppositional apologetics and its relationship to the more traditional arguments for God's existence.
