What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Full disclosure: I have known Dawan for a good while and his many positive qualities shine in these podcasts. He is unfailingly kind and supportive in his solo or interview podcasts. The information is always engaging, practical, and immediately useful. Highly recommended.

Burkejames · Oct 2021

This is an excellent podcast that at this point has a long archive of episodes worth listening to. The host and guests frame the information in ways that are inviting to newcomers to Design Thinking, but that also progressively step farther from “101-level” information into deeper advice that benefits regular practitioners of DT.

Bill in Pgh · Sep 2021

I’ve been listening for a while and have some favorite episodes, but the recent one with Indi Young blew me away. It was so well presented and informative. Thank you for producing such a quality show with so many amazing people and ideas.

callmeasponge · Mar 2021

Whether you are thoroughly trained in design thinking or a newbie — or in between — this podcast is valuable to you. The host leads the guests gently and confidently to deep discussions and real revelations that are useful not only for design thinking, but for all aspects of work and life. Lots to learn, pleasantly.
