Design Matters Podcast Featuring Derren Brown

I love to listen to podcasts. As I try to go for a walk every evening, that’s one of my favorite times to listen. One of my favorites podcasts is Debbie Millman’s Design Matters. This week’s edition features mentalist, hypnotist, and what I’m going to label “anthropological psychologist” Derren Brown. I was unfamiliar with his… Continue reading Design Matters Podcast Featuring Derren Brown

The heat made… Continue reading Thinking about the past, present and future

A Look At The FUSE Conference

I found this fun little video today: As fan of Debbie Millman’s work, especially her podcast: Design Matters, I really got a kick out it. Now, it’s a bit out of date (2013…wow…in some respects it seems like just a few days ago, and also like a hundred years ago). I haven’t made it to… Continue reading A Look At The FUSE Conference

Brene Brown: About Vulnerability, Authenticity and Belonging

I finally was able to get a walk in last night. One of the critical elements for a good walk, in my system: a good podcast. For several years one of my favorites has been Design Matters with Debbie Millman (I’m not sure how long I’ve been listening, but this post of mine from 2014… Continue reading Brene Brown: About Vulnerability, Authenticity and Belonging
