In this episode, Barry and Phil are joined by Podcaster, Entrepreneur, Author, and the Founder and CEO of Ginni Media, Ginny Saraswati. With roots in Sri Lanka, Ginny shares her story of spending a decade in terrestrial radio in her adopted hometown of Melbourne, Australia, seeing the trend toward "autonomous listening", eventually starting her own podcast, and taking her listeners with her to New York. In the process, she found herself advising fellow podcasters on the craft of storytelling and the importance of creating an authentic audio identity. Thus was born her company, Ginni Media, to go along with "The Ginni Show", a podcast about podcasts. We talk about what makes for a good podcast idea, a good name, a good host, and a good guest experience. We wrap with Ginni giving us a thorough grading on what we are doing well, what we can improve upon, and most importantly...who does it better. Enjoy!

In this episode, Barry and Phil are joined by none other than the Chairman and Co-Founder of WongDoody, Tracy Wong. Tracy discusses his notion of 'Creative Democracy', a team-oriented approach to the art and science of ideation, about which he is writing in an upcoming book. Borne of insight, guided by inspiration, and supported by servant leadership, "Creative Democracy" is, at its essence, the acknowledgement that as long as there is a safe and conducive environment, good ideas can come from anywhere. We also discuss the ad industry of the early 90's, how the industry continues to evolve, and why in this constant state of change, businesses need to heed Jeff Bezos' words and focus on 'what stays the same'.

We begin with Ralf's origin story as the son of a butcher and restaurateur, followed by his entrepreneurial stints running a small design firm, its eventual acquisition by Infosys, and finally his current role. We then delve into 3 key areas of deep discussion that all designers should be thinking about this year: designing for value, AI (of course), and what needs to change as a result of the other two factors. It is a wide-ranging discussion that should be a real treat for those in the Design community. Enjoy!Drinks: Berkshire Brewing Co. Lost Sailor IPA, Basic City Beer Co.

Barry and Phil are joined by Holden Bale, the Global Head of Experience and Commerce at Merkle, for a drink and a chat about where digital experiences are heading in the (not too distant) future. In this far-reaching and engaging conversation, we discuss the Four Forces that are impacting Experience today, and the ways they are making companies fundamentally shift their channel strategies. We also discuss how 'the collapse of the funnel', once a punchline at conferences and lectures, is now a stark truth for both CTO's and CMO's, requiring enterprises to be able to draw a straight line from their business strategy to their technology strategy.

In this episode, we are joined by Rocco Albano, a professional artist and classical art aficionado (plus VP of Customer Experience at Merkle). But in Rocco’s youth – he was PEZ, the infamous Philadelphia Graffiti artist. Today’s episode is the very personal story of Rocco’s evolution - from graffiti artist and high-school drop-out, to contemporary artist and digital experience strategist & consultant. It’s a story of the power of art to transform lives. In Rocco’s case, art was the catalyst helping him heal from childhood trauma, getting him sober (35+ years and counting), propelling him into college and into his successful professional career. During our freewheeling conversation we discuss how "unplanned moments" highlight Rocco’s path through both dark times and light, including a chance encounter with Jane Golden, an American muralist and art educator, who became a significant influence in Rocco's life. We also talk about Rocco's kinship with the artist Caravaggio, and how 'living in interesting times' can create pathways to creativity. Enjoy!

In this episode, returning guest Suff Syed joins us for a chat about his provocative report entitled 'The End of Design'. Already at almost 20,000 downloads since its release on his personal website, Suff's report lays out a strong argument for why Design leaders, by and large, have done themselves a disservice by not preparing for a world with Generative AI. Fortunately, as he has personally observed in his role in AI Leadership, Product & Design at Microsoft Research, there is hope for us all. In what he deems a paradigm shift, focusing less on Design and more on Creation, Generative AI can give designers ample opportunity to embrace change and take advantage of this game-changing technology. Download the report today, and enjoy this thought-provoking episode!

When you've had a decades-long career, and eventually reach the point when you want to figure out what's next, what do you do? You write a book! And that is exactly what our guest, Dan Roche, decided to do. With a 20+-year career consulting for the Federal Government, Non-Profits, NGO's, and Public Services, Dan devoted his attention and energy into taking all of that knowledge and packaging it up into his first book, a consumable and highly entertaining guide titled, "The Total Beginner’s Handbook for Doing Business with the Government". We discuss how this idea came about, why this was the right time to do it, and what he hopes people can learn from it. We also discuss how the editing process is often more arduous than the writing process, how starting without an outline sometimes allows for the most creativity, and why betting on oneself is always a good idea.

Eiko Kawano, Director of Product Design at Loblaw Digital, joins us for a drink and a chat about the benefits of doing creative work outside of her "day job". When not leading teams in the pursuit of award-winning digital experiences, Eiko is a seasoned writer, with 3 novels and a novella under her belt. In this conversation, we discuss how Eiko's diligent pursuit of her writing side hustle refuels her for the work she does day-to-day, and in turn helps her be a better leader by encouraging her teams to do the same. We also discuss how pursuing creativity helps people identify themselves more holistically than just by their occupation alone, and somehow, we veer into the subject of...space vampires?? You'll just have to listen to figure that one out. Enjoy!
