Episode notes

The most successful UX people I know within business have links to every other part of that organization. They're getting inputs from left, right and center. You need to be the person who's out there effectively speaking to customers but then coming back with those customer needs in terms of how do we?

Joe Leech shows us how psychology helps frame what we’re seeing in user research. He articulates why the superpower we need is understanding how business works. He inspires us get out of our seat and talk to executives in the organization more about the business. He also challenges us to not just always be shipping, but always be shipping the right things.
