Episode notes

Jason Stavilous: I love the idea of a catalyst. That means that when you mix this, that needs a reverb on it or that. He says inspiration is certainly a really large part of that because we have to stay inspired to do our best work. "The next person who inspires me could be the spark that takes Doug Deese and Margaret Hamilton into the world"

Jason Ogle shows us how we can all be design superheroes with the right mindset. He reveals how grit trumps talent, every day. He reminds us of the peril that bad leadership and ego can have on a team and organization. He challenges us to never stop fighting for our users. He also inspires us to be a catalyst for our community.
