#18 Sustainable Design in UX with Thorsten Jonas
I had the pleasure of hosting, Thorsten Jonas, who is a specialist in sustainable UX and innovation. I first met Thorsten at an Adobe event many years ago, and since then, he has undergone significant personal growth, including experiencing burnout and realizing that he wanted to pursue his passion for sustainable design. During our interview, Thorsten candidly discusses how to navigate mental health challenges in one's career and how to embark on a new journey where failure is an inherent part of the process. He founded the Sustainable UX Network, a community where designers can learn and connect with others interested in sustainable design. Today, Thorsten is a keynote speaker and consultant who shares insights on sustainable design and its relevance in today's world. This interview is truly inspiring.

#16 Navigating the Future of Freelancing
Freelancing is a future topic and freelancing is likely to become a much bigger topic in the future for creatives due to several reasons:
Remote work: With the rise of remote work and the COVID-19 pandemic, more and more companies are opting for flexible work arrangements. This trend is likely to continue, making freelancing a more attractive option for creatives.
Increased demand for flexible work: Many creatives are seeking more control over their work schedule and lifestyle, and freelancing provides that flexibility. As demand for this type of work arrangement increases, freelancing is likely to become a more popular option.
Technology advancements: With the increasing availability of online platforms and tools, it is easier than ever for creatives to find freelance work and connect with clients. This has made freelancing more accessible and appealing to a wider range of people.
Cost savings: Hiring freelancers can be more cost-effective for companies, as they don't have to provide benefits and other perks associated with full-time employees. This can lead to an increase in demand for freelancers.
Career advancement: Freelancing can provide creatives with the opportunity to work on a wider range of projects, gain new skills, and build their portfolio. This can lead to career advancement and greater job opportunities in the future.
