Episode notes

There's a reason almost all of us are connected to other humans on a social network. It's because we're all wired for connection but unless you're a social butterfly and constant sharer it can at times feel somewhat lonely on many of these platforms. User defenders community has everything you love about Facebook or Twitter without Mark and Jack's constant barrage of irrelevant intrusive ads, privacy violations and AI driven algorithms that force uninteresting and irrelevant content from folks you may not even follow. So what are you waiting for other than to finish that clean and jerk or pull over to the side of the road to safely join? Try user defenders community free for seven days at community dot user defenders dot com after that

Sophia Prater reminds us that we're all pioneers in a field that is changing every minute. She encourages us to use forcing functions by getting the gig first, and then figuring it out. She introduces us to a design philosophy she pioneered called Object-Oriented UX which is all about taking really complex problems, and breaking them down into parts and organizing them. She also reminds us that in order to be successful in this field, we must become lifelong learners.
