Episode notes

I think there is this illusion that it's just about the pace in New York. But yeah, if you take a little bit deeper, there's so much depth and there's somuch questioning of why going on in the city right now. My sociological, quick assessment is the common space is the street is the sidewalk. That's everybody's yard. So we're, you know, if you only get to know your neighbors, you don't have a kid or a dog in California because you get to have something that's going to wander off your yard into theirs. And it's all in the yard together.

Today’s guest, Dave Evans, is a lecturer at the famed Stanford d.School a theological scholar and management consultant. He is also a man on a mission to explore what it means to spend time designing your life.

As an early team-member at Apple, he led product marketing for the mouse and introduced laser printing to the masses.

He then joined gaming behemoth, Electronic Arts, as employee #2, before leaving to help start-up teams, corporate executives, non-profit leaders, and countless young adults build amazing ventures.

Along the way, he realized they were all asking the same question. “What should I do with my life?” Helping people get traction on that question finally took develop a groundbreaking course that applies design thinking to life, where he introduced the concept designing your life to students at Berkeley and then Stanford.

His latest book, Designing Your Life: How to Build a Well-lived, Joyful Life, walks you through the entire, step-by-step process.
