Daniel Stillman is a conversation designer and coach. He’s the host of
The Conversation Factory podcast and author of
Good Talk: How to Design Conversations That Matter.
This is a special episode of The Informed Life: it’s the first recorded in person, while Daniel and I attended and taught at UX Lisbon in May of 2022.

In particular, you’ll hear references to the names of other speakers at the conference. I’ve included links to their profiles in the show notes.
