24 MAG 2023 · Geoff discovers Guy’s fascination with red bags, blue bags, hand bags, bags-bags. If only we revived Dr. Seuss to have him talk about the careful balance of utility, durability, and aesthetics that goes into your everyday bag design.
This final episode of our product and service-centred design format covered:
💡 Why might designing the perfect bag be the fastest way to go out of business?
💡 How do bags both afford and constrain our everyday experiences?
💡 Why are bags displayed in stores not what people carry?
💡 What sparks more joy for consumers: aesthetics or utility?
💡 Can we future-proof bags for our ever-changing tech?

5 DIC 2022 · Geoff and Guy acknowledge and lament the challenges in getting international air travel “back to the way it was” post-covid. They won’t let us leave, and they won’t let us stay. There’s probably a form for that too.
Ignore that this episode was released 6 months after recording when many of the discussed restrictions were still in place — timeliness is not our strong suit, but thought-provoking questions are.
Covered this episode:
💡 What is the best way to make your passengers wait?
💡 Who should really be responsible for completing the departure requirement checks?
💡 Can proactively setting customer expectations actually be a bad thing?
💡 What role can we play in driving the changes we want to see?

21 FEB 2022 · In this episode, Geoff Wilson and Guy Thompson manage to talk about web browsers without even once saying "surfing the web" (well, until now).
From checking emails to watching videos and making purchases, we use these ubiquitous tools throughout our day, so we thought they deserved a deeper discussion into why we are frequently checking out the other models.
Covered in this episode:
💡 When does product complaceny stifle success?
💡 Should we be more experimental with our everyday tools?
💡 What else can we improve just by trying out a different browser for a week?
