What if becoming a manager isn't the upgrade you've been led to believe?What if you could grow your influence and your impact, without giving up the work you actually love doing? In this episode, Filippos Protogeridis shares why traditional UX career ladders don't always work and how he carved out a leadership path that didn't require a team of direct reports.A lot of mid-level and senior designers assume the only way to advance their careers is to become managers. But what if that path isn't right for you? What if there are better options? In this episode, I talk with Filippos Protogeridis, who shares his journey from founding designer to head of product design at a rapidly growing healthtech startup in London.Filippos didn't follow the traditional ladder. Instead of giving up hands-on work, he redefined what leadership looks like for his role, blending vision work, hiring, mentoring, and strategy with the design work he still loves. We talk about why most companies get the “promotion to management” thing all wrong, and how to think more clearly about what you actually want from your next step.If you've been wrestling with questions about growth, leadership, and what it really means to “level up” in UX, this episode is for you. Tune in and rethink what success in design leadership can look like.Topics:• 05:00 – Filippos' Background and Journey• 06:43 – Challenges in Leadership Transition• 14:20 – The Importance of Hiring and Letting Go• 26:33 – Hands-On Leadership and Visioning• 34:54 – Types of Design Leadership Roles• 41:42 – Impact of Layoffs on Leadership• 42:21 – Shift in Hiring Trends• 43:03 – Lean Management and Hands-On Roles• 43:47 – Challenges and Opportunities in Hybrid Roles• 46:21 – Embracing the Founding Designer Mode• 48:53 – Market Chaos and Its Impact• 49:38 – Entrepreneurial Mindset in Large Organizations• 54:58 – Closing Thoughts on Leadership and FollowershipHelpful Links:• Connect with Filippos on LinkedIn• Designary.com—Thanks for listening!

Just after midnight on May 10, 1996, a motorist in Brown County, Texas called 911. They report that they'd been driving along Farm Road 2126 when they saw a burning car. It was parked just off the road, near the entrance to a gun range. Minutes later, a second motorist called 911 to report they had spotted a body lying near the burning car. When the fire department and Sheriff's deputies show up, the car is engulfed in flames. While inspecting the scene, they find the body of 30-year-old Leon Laureles. He had been shot in the back of the head, execution style. Leon's family believes they know what happened to Leon, but their suspicions have never been confirmed. Anyone with information regarding Leon's death or events leading up to it can contact the Brown County Sheriff's Office at 325-646-5510.

In 1974, 14-year-old Margaret Ellen Fox left her family home in Burlington, New Jersey, full of hope and anticipation. She was on her way to what she believed would be a promising babysitting job — a chance to earn a little money and take one more step toward independence, but Margaret never came home. Fourteen-year-old Margaret Ellen Fox was last seen boarding a bus on June 24, 1974, in Burlington, NJ. She has blue eyes and brown hair. At the time of her disappearance, she was 5'2” and weighed approximately 105 lbs. Two of her top right teeth were missing, and she wore eyeglasses. She was last seen wearing jeans with a yellow patch on the knee, a blue blouse, a white and black checkered jacket, and brown sandals with a heel strap. She was also wearing a gold necklace with flowers and a blue stone, and a gold charm bracelet with a blue stone. Margaret was carrying an eyeglass case with a Huckleberry Hound design on it.

What if everything you thought you knew about creating champion fighters was wrong? In this raw, unfiltered conversation with Olympic gold medalist Herb Perez and bronze medalist Juan Moreno, we crack open the uncomfortable truth about what's really happening in American Taekwondo.The discussion begins with a critical examination of the recent Cadet World Championships, where Russia's dominance reveals a stark contrast to America's approach. Despite our supposed advantages in resources and population, we're watching other countries consistently outperform us—and it's not for lack of talented athletes."You take kids from a system they're growing in, just to go there, and then what?" TJ asks, challenging the centralized training model that uproots athletes from their support networks. Moreno and Perez both built their Olympic success outside the system, training in environments where accountability wasn't optional and performance wasn't just measured, but expected by entire communities who knew them by name.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Perez shares insights about his mentor, the legendary Stephen Vizio—one of the first non-Asians accepted into traditional Kung Fu schools who later created an underground fighting system that produced champions across combat sports. His philosophical approach distilled fighting to its essence: "Do what you do well, avoid what you don't do well, and exploit the weaknesses of what other people don't do well."Between discussions of "pimps and pinky rings" in sports leadership and the absurdity of talent identification camps for athletes who have already proven themselves, this episode offers a masterclass in what actually develops champions versus what merely creates the appearance of development.Whether you're a fighter, coach, or simply fascinated by high-performance mindsets, this conversation will challenge your assumptions about talent development and make you question the systems we've built to create excellence. Subscribe now and join us next week when our hosts share stories about the mentors who transformed their lives.

In this episode, Ethan Nash discusses the 6 "thinking hats" teams can employ for better decision making, and all the good that can come from intentionally coordinating approaches. “Imagine you're with your team making a decision,” Ethan invites listeners to consider. “You collectively decide to wear one of the six hats at the same time. By doing this, we can help ensure that our different approaches, different styles are all being leveraged.” Tune in to understand the background and best practices of this approach.

We talk layoffs, AI, content creation, side hustles, and redefining what it means to be a UX pro today.What if your job title doesn't define your career? What if your "career" wasn't the point at all?We were told that if we worked hard, got good at UX, and built a solid portfolio, we'd be fine. But in 2025, none of that seems to be working. In this episode, I sit down with Edward Chechique to talk about what happens when the traditional path to career success just… stops working.Edward has been laid off, ghosted, and judged by hiring managers who didn't get it.

It's about regaining your agency and deciding what you want from your career.If you're tired of trying to fit into boxes that never seemed to fit quite right, this episode is your permission slip to stop waiting for the industry to come save you—and start building a version of success that actually works for you.Topics:• 02:46 - Redefining Careers in Design• 03:17 - Interview with Edward Chechique• 04:59 - Edward's Journey in Design• 09:10 - Navigating the Job Market• 13:32 - Adapting and Diversifying Skills• 16:24 - Entrepreneurial Mindset and Self-Employment• 27:10 - Challenges and Realities of Self-Employment• 30:38 - Entrepreneurial Upbringing vs. Traditional Employment• 31:55 - Navigating Financial Uncertainty• 33:33 - Saving Strategies and Lifestyle Choices• 38:49 - Cultural Shifts and Economic Impact• 41:42 - Closing ThoughtsHelpful Links:• Connect with Edward on LinkedIn• Watch Edward on YouTube• Follow Edward on Medium---Thanks for listening!

When 28-year-old Jennifer Harris went missing on Mother's Day in 2002, rumors swirled in the small town of Bonham, Texas.

This week, I have a candid discussion about the disconnect between UX design education and real-world practice with Joe Natoli. Joe shares insights on why traditional UX education falls short and reveals what it really takes to succeed in corporate environments beyond just following design processes.What if everything you learned about UX design in school was only 40% of what you actually need to succeed in the real world?Joe Natoli brings three decades of experience helping product teams achieve dramatic results through strategic design and UX improvement. In this episode, he tackles the significant disconnect between how UX design is taught and how it's actually practiced in the corporate world. Joe explains that while design schools and bootcamps focus heavily on process and methodology, they often miss the crucial organizational and business aspects that make up about 60% of a UX designer's actual job.Through his work with industry giants like Meta, Google, and various government agencies, Joe has observed that success in UX isn't just about mastering design principles–it's about understanding business goals, building relationships, and navigating complex organizational dynamics. Joe shares practical insights on how designers can move beyond being order-takers to become trusted partners who drive real value for their organizations.This episode is essential listening for anyone feeling frustrated by the gap between UX theory and practice. Joe offers actionable advice on how to succeed in the real world of UX design, where business constraints, organizational politics, and stakeholder management are just as important as user research and interface design.Topics:• 04:13 The Realities of UX Design in the Workplace• 11:06 Understanding Business Goals and Financial Realities• 15:29 - Building Empathy and Trust within Teams• 21:05 - Service Design and Expanding Your Scope• 35:47 - Understanding Responsibility in the Workplace• 37:13 - Navigating Social Media as a Designer• 41:38 - The Reality of UX Work• 44:53 - Introducing the New Edition of the Book• 48:17 - The Importance of Business in UXHelpful Links:• Connect with Joe on LinkedIn• UX 365 Academy• The User Experience Team of One (2nd Edition)---Thanks for listening!

A practical exploration of how teams can avoid the pitfalls of misremembered information, told through a revealing story of two confident leaders who remembered the same research differently—and were both wrong.What happens when you're absolutely sure about something that never actually happened?Picture this: A heated debate between two senior leaders, each absolutely certain about different user requirements. Both spoke with complete conviction. Both referenced the same research. And both were entirely wrong. This fascinating case study reveals how easily outside conversations and second-hand information can corrupt our original memories of research findings.Our design team uncovered how these false memories developed through careful investigation: conversations with people outside the shop floor gradually replaced the actual research findings in our leaders' minds. The real breakthrough came when we returned to the source: hours of recorded interviews and detailed research notes that told a completely different story.This episode unpacks how false information spreads through organizations, how it becomes "truth" through repetition, and most importantly, how to prevent it from happening on your team. You'll learn practical techniques for preserving accurate information and strategies for uncovering the truth when memories conflict.To explore more about the Misinformation Effect, don't miss the full article on the Cognition Catalog!Don't forget to subscribe to the newsletter to be the first to know when new episodes drop!Join me every week for insights on a new cognitive bias!Topics:• 01:46 - The Story of Misinformation• 03:11 - Understanding the Misinformation Effect• 04:24 - Impact on Teams and Projects• 05:12 - Strategies to Combat Misinformation—Thanks for listening!

22-year-old Vladek Hasel was a well-known figure in his community. Local shopkeepers, employees, police officers, and countless other residents knew him well. Vladek was approachable and outgoing, always ready to strike up a conversation with anyone and genuinely interested in learning about their lives. He was the kind of person who, after hearing a server's story of struggling, would leave a $500 tip—while heading back to his own apartment to sleep on a deflated air mattress. However, in the Fall of 2021, something changed. Vladek began voicing fears for his safety. He went so far as to buy a knife and ask a friend if he could borrow a gun and then he disappeared. Bryan Vladek Hasel was 22 years old when he went missing from the Orlando, Florida, area in November 2021. The exact date of his disappearance is unknown. He is white, 5'8” with blond to light brown hair and blue eyes. At the time of his disappearance, he weighed approximately 210 lbs. He was born in Russia but does not have an accent. If you have any information, please contact the Orange County Sheriff's Office Missing Persons Unit at 407-254-7000 or call 911.

She had brown hair, brown eyes, was 4'10” and weighed 115lbs. She was last seen wearing a pink and gray shirt.

This episode originally aired on August 10, 2023. At around 3:30 am on March 9, 2019, 25-year-old Aubrey Dameron left her mother's house near Grove, Oklahoma. She told her family that she was going to meet someone. Aubrey hasn't been seen since. This is a case full of confusing leads. Allegations that Aubrey was kidnapped and being held for ransom, an alleged murder confession, and evidence that, in my opinion, needs another look. For years, Aubrey's family has searched high and low, but no sign of her has been found. They are desperate for answers. If you listen to my other podcast, Disappearances, you know that I've discussed Aubrey's case before. I did a joint episode discussing Aubrey and the disappearance of Anthonette Cayedito with a heavy focus on the epidemic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous people. It is a very informative episode that is very close to my heart. So, if you're looking for more information on this epidemic, I absolutely recommend listening to that. Now we worked on that episode back in 2021, and I haven't been able to stop thinking about these cases, and since then, there have been some updates in Aubrey's case. So, I thought I would try to bring Aubrey back into the spotlight and draw even more attention to her case with a full-length episode on just Aubrey. At the time of her disappearance, Aubrey, a 5 foot 9, 130-pound Cherokee woman with brown hair and eyes, was wearing a black leather jacket, black top, black skirt, black knitted hose, and black boots. She has a triquetra symbol tattoo on her back and another tattoo reading "Shorty" (her nickname) on her upper left arm. Anyone with information about Aubrey's case is asked to call the FBI at (918) 664-3300 or the Cherokee Nation Marshal Service at (918) 207-3800.
