Episode notes

User defenders is a staple, my own podcast list and is served as oral coffee for my earbuds on many a morning commute. It's our responsibility as people in this industry, let's say, to be endlessly and restlessly curious and ask why. So I feel like we're kind of brothers from another mother, you know? Absolutely. Well, Jason, I and certainly your users, have found this dialogue to be absolutely fascinating and informative journey really on the man behind the podcast.

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.
