Listen now on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.—Matt Thomas is a Design, Research, and Product leader at Motability Operations where he leads the Design and Research efforts for a range of products, from a commerce platform for selling used cars to colleague-facing tools that support that website. His team also designs for a vehicle refurbishment workshop, a completely different challenge with a unique set of users, which keeps things interesting.They work closely with Product and Technology teams to bring these products to life, always focusing on learning from the people who use them. He is super passionate about broadening where the team gathers insights and making research more accessible, so teams can make better product decisions.In our conversation, we discuss:* How Matt defines “broadening research” and why it starts outside of formal studies.* Real-world examples of overlooked insight sources like sales calls, account managers, and field teams.* The internal system Matt's team uses to collect, tag, and feed sales feedback into their repository every day.* Why traditional research reports don't always land and what to try instead.* Tactics for building trust and buy-in, even when you're blocked from direct customer access.Some takeaways:* Matt encourages researchers to stop thinking of research as only formal studies. Some of the richest data comes from support calls, onboarding conversations, and field visits. These sources already exist in most companies but often get ignored because they don't look like traditional research. When you tap into them, you're bringing context into the room that would otherwise stay invisible.* It's tempting to jump straight into tagging or setting up automations, but Matt suggests beginning with a conversation. Ask a customer-facing teammate what they're hearing. Offer to sit with them for an hour or buy them coffee. Building trust first, then showing how their insights feed into decisions, opens more doors long-term than asking for data access right away.* Matt's team gets sales feedback emailed to them daily and loads it into their repository in batches. But even without automation, he recommends reviewing 20 feedback items a day which is just enough to build a habit and gather useful patterns. That creates a log of real impact you can use later to justify hiring or tooling decisions. Don't aim to boil the ocean; aim to show traction.* The goal isn't to create a polished report. It's to influence a decision. Matt's team shares snippets via Slack or email, hosts research gallery walk-throughs, and tests lightweight formats like social-style insight posts. Different stakeholders need different communication and just because a report is well-written doesn't mean it will be read.* From usability bingo nights to Iron Man-style gallery sessions, Matt embraces experimentation in how research is shared. Some people need a sticky note wall. Some need a voice clip in their inbox. If one format doesn't land, try another. The most impactful insights often come wrapped in something a little unexpected but perfectly timed.Where to find Matt:* LinkedInStop piecing it together.

Welcome back to another episode of In the Lab on the Hoopsology Podcast! In this extended NBA breakdown, Justin Goodrum, Matt Thomas, and Alan Muenzler dive DEEP into one of the biggest stories of the season—Chris Paul announcing that he will retire at the end of the year. We break down:

Wex and AC react to the Rockets' sloppy win over the Mavericks, plus break down their thoughts on the news of players moved at the trade deadline. Is this going to help or hurt the Houston Texans entering the 2026 NFL offseason? Is there a chance the Texans can still make a run to the playoff?

In this episode of Hoopsology, hosts Justin Goodrum and Matt Thomas sit down with Michael Grange — journalist, NBA analyst, and author of Basketball Now: The Inside Stories of the Brightest Stars of the NBA. Grange takes us inside his new book and shares his insights on the current state of the league, the rise of Canadian basketball, and why this era of the NBA might be the most talented in history. From LeBron, KD, and Steph to rising stars like Victor Wembanyama and Paolo Banchero, we explore the generational shift happening in real time. Grange also reflects on how basketball culture has exploded in Canada — tracing its growth from Toronto playgrounds in the 1980s to producing NBA superstars today. Podcast Person?

Welcome back to In the Lab with Hoopsology, where hosts Matt Thomas and Justin Goodrum dive deep into our NBA season preview.

No one is in a rush to see Cooper Rush get behind center but Houston sports media pundit Matt Thomas tells Nestor that the Texans have a lot of experience seeing him throw and Derrick Henry run the ball against them over the years. The Ravens are 8-0 against the horns in Baltimore but lots of injuries for the Ravens presents a big opportunity for C.J. Stroud to excel in a matchup of scuffling playoff hopefuls early in the NFL season. The post Houston sports media pundit Matt Thomas gives Nestor some insights on Texans big chance to beat depleted Ravens first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.
