Kind of processing things out loud today... thinking about this design career, what actually leaves a mark, and feeling this pull towards making podcasts more seriously. It's a bit of a ramble, includes a walk outside (mic and all), and ends with a hint about a really personal new project I'm starting.
Show Notes:
Just me thinking out loud from home today, feeling a bit adventurous.
Talking about why I like podcasts that feel like a raw audio message, not too polished. Trying to capture that here.
Reflecting on the long winter and how this sunny day feels different.
Getting into my career as a designer and this nagging feeling about legacy – what actually lasts when projects disappear or companies fold?
Had a realization that maybe the work I thought I was made for isn't quite it.
Why podcasting? It's always been there, even the messy attempts. Feeling more ready now, less hung up on having the perfect "radio voice."
Thinking about how standards have changed in content creation.
Critiquing platforms like Substack – they kinda suck, right? But you still need them.
Decided to take the mic outside for a walk – apologies if the audio gets a bit rough, but it felt right to move. (Around 20:07)
Talking about a really personal new podcast project I'm starting called "You Gonna Be Okay," stemming from my journey into single fatherhood after separation.
Why now feels like the right time to share that story.
This whole episode is kind of a marker for me – acknowledging a shift.
More on the new project coming soon.
