10: Approaching Programmatic Problems
In this episode, I talk about how I approach programmatic problems, and I give all developers my opinionated understanding of the most important factor of problem solving: imparting knowledge into your problem solving mechanisms.
Note: there was a bit of an audio issue with the compression on this episode; we'll be fixing it in future episodes. Sorry about that!

7: Part one - An Underground Cohort of Design Professors, with Kody Dahl and Nick Morrison
On today's episode, I talk with Nick Morrison and Kody Dahl, both students about to graduate from the design BFA program at Georgia State University.
Kody and Nick are both incredibly hard-working folks who happen to also work at Whiteboard.
In part one, we start a discussion on formal design education.
The interview went quite a bit longer than we expected it to go, so I've decided to split the interview into two parts, which will both be released this week.
