TikTok: The Straw that Broke the Camel's Back Sep 01, 2020

Show notes

This week on Liftoff by Bottle Rocket, Tony and Peter dig into some heavy themes around TikTok, Data, Privacy, and your Data as a Currency.
How much are you willing to trade for your privacy? How much is your data worth to you
TikTok may be a video sharing platform, a social media app, or a way to make fun videos… But actually it’s a rally cry.
Perhaps we need to have a better understanding of the value that our activities across the global digital ecosystem bring to entities.
Is thumbing through 60 second videos worth forfeiting your privacy and data?

This Isn't Goodbye... Jul 21, 2020

Show notes

The past year-and-a-half of hosting the Experience Design podcast has been extraordinary.
I still pinch myself when I think of all of the amazing guests that were kind enough to say, “yes” to some random guy (me) to ask them questions about design and life.
I still pinch myself when I think of how this little passion project went from a handful of friends and family listening, to over 150 countries tuning in.
But lately I’ve been doing some deep looks inside, and evaluating how I’m spending my “free” time outside of my 9-5 job.
And, I’ve decided to focus more of that time on family and passions outside of my career. So... I am sunsetting the Experience Design podcast.
BUT!
I’m happy to announce that I have partnered with Bottle Rocket (where I work) to bring a new podcast in-house.
The podcast will expand beyond UX design and also take a look inside business strategy, the impact of technology and an ever-evolving product landscape.
The new podcast will be titled LIFTOFF and I can't wait for you to be part of it and to introduce my co-host to all of you.
I’m excited to be:

Creating this with bottle rocket.
Bringing on a co-host. (he's seriously brilliant).
Continuing to connect w/ all of you.
Focusing more of my “free time” efforts on family and friends.

Stay tuned and get ready to LIFTOFF in the next few weeks…. :)
