We had a lot of fun filming this final episode. We worked our way into the episode with some liquid courage, assisted by delicious Japanese whiskey. We cover a lot in this episode and tried to be as diverse with our questions and insights as possible. If you have any feedback, questions or thoughts, please share them. Also, hit that thumbs-up 👍 if you've enjoyed this series! Thank you for tuning in and come back next week for the bonus episode where we answer audience questions.
You guys are amazing!! Everything I see and hear in this video series is a broad inspirational message and vast knowledge that is shared, not only for the design community but for everyone seeking personal growth.
This is the best design podcast I´ve heard, not only because the conversation is great, also we can LEARN a lot from all the series, concepts far from the "design language" like business, leadership, etc. I feel truly indentfied, ´cause the lack of "formal" design education, but the difference is just to try ti be a designer even if you don´t have a proper career or become a true designer that understand and solve problems and also make beatiful and useful things, thanks a lot for all your efforts.
This episode should be called "Bobby and Jared go ham in the series finale". You guys crushed it all series, and this is no different. Great to hear your thoughts on the industry and the state of design.
I've watched almost every episode you guys launched, and I truly can not thank you enough for putting this series together... In short, I'm in the beginning stages of my design career (3 years) and the insights I've gathered from these interviews will undoubtedly help me in moving forward. Cheers!
It's awesome you made an episode like this as well -- it's was a great recap & I feel like knowing you guys a bit now! You're damn hilarious!! Your personal stories were inspiring as well. Totally looking forward to new seasons, no pressure.
I really enjoyed your final talk about your series. That was the best episode yet (I still love all the other episodes). Please do more of this! + Please add your book recommendations to your info boxes
I can resonate with getting bored with things and allowing myself to get deep into a breadth of things. The way he chose the design because he couldn't "work," but it is a way to create value and get hired in a global economy; he speaks to my persona and my personal journey; much respect for Bobby and Jared for hosting this. And I love the book great leaders ask great questions.
Love this episode. I'm new to design (in the sense studying hard to work in the field) even though I've been designing as a hobby since I was younger (now 27). I'm slowly growing in the UI UX field and hope I can follow the same path as you Jared. Thanks for sharing!
The whole series was so good guys! Enjoyed every single episode, especially this last one. I can honestly say that I am a better designer because of High Resolution.
Please, please, please do a season 2! This has been such an amazing series and super inspirational to me as a new designer. Also, do it with us at Panoply (shameless plug - inspired by y'all)!
@Jared, "Batmat" is my all time fav superhero, and you've added one more reason for that. Now, I'm going to use this "Batman" analogy to prove the prime purpose of "Design and Designer" for a successful product, if it's not copyrighted to you ;) My personal favourite episodes are of Tom and Luke. Thanks to you guys, finale couldn't have been better. (👍)
Pitch Anything by Oren Klaff. Is this it? That will be the next one on my list. Learned a lot from you guys through this season. Keep up the outstanding work!
Great stuff guys! Love this episode, maybe the best just because you knew each other that much. I would love to hear what gold nuggets did people take from whole season and maybe give out some award to best one/s (cheap marketing inc...) best wishes for future endeavors! p.s. Bobby don't spar with Jared when it comes to alcohol, your liver doesn't regenerate anymore :P
About Design Thinking, I have a problem with the graphic of a series of linear events. This speaks to Jared's Batman analogy as well. If we agree that design is not linear, even presenting it in a linear fashion is dumbing it down.
chetan bhatia it's just a topological representation of a framework. Dumbing it down is actually the genius of it. It makes it accessible to people who don't consider themselves designers. It's ok for people to use it linearly until they understand each frame of the process. I (bobby) think the natural inclination is to improvise once you "get it" and are no longer spending time understanding the steps but rather spending time focused on the problem. Introducing someone to design thinking without the linearity can be daunting because you're essentially telling them that there is no canonical system and that it's up to them. People don't like stuff being up to them until they feel in control. The linearity of the design thinking framework gives you a one size fits all map that eases you into that world of thinking and eventually makes you feel like you're in control. That's the point where you can safely toss the linearity out of the window.
I love the use case about onboarding someone to UX through Design Thinking. I may have come off as ignorant in my previous comment because Design Thinking was how I was onboarded to design in grad school. I wonder though if executives, who are thinking of investing in design for their organizations, read about the linear process of Design Thinking and learn that there are 5 clear steps, each step has a specific order, and each step has the same weight. I can imagine responses like "If we follow these steps, we'll have design. Why do I need a design team then?" What if the simplicity of Design Thinking stops the design conversation and we don't get to those High Resolution questions about explaining design to non-designers or explaining the value of design as the only designer in the organization? Does the agency of design then shift from Design Thinking to those executives reading about Design Thinking? This is not purely skepticism. As a jr researcher, I want to learn more.
"glided on the backs of dragons" *brow furled*, hahah. I also had the same frustrations, but the way I see it, is that you have either problem solvers, or you have people that like to simplify things down to only "will not work", "will work", and that is the extent of their contributions. That is how I manage my expectations when interacting with people. Thanks for the doing the series.
Don't kill this show. The best series. Period.

I favor Nikka over Suntory, but out of Nikka, I love Taketsuru.
Please make a Season or Part 2 of this! This inspired a bunch of us!

And I love the book great leaders ask great questions.
Another thing, just love Jerod's analogies. Especially the seat at the table one.
I haven't even started watching this episode yet, but I'm excited enough to cut this Friday short for it. Great work on the series Bobby and Jared! 💯
thanks man!

This inspired me to go back and start the series from the beginning! Just finished Katie Dill's episode!
Love it!!
Thanks for the show guys!
The whole series was so good guys! Enjoyed every single episode, especially this last one. I can honestly say that I am a better designer because of High Resolution.

Thanks guys, amazing content. It really helped me to get ideas to improve within my organization. When is the next season with more episodes??
The best episode! Thank you guys for the show!
Some great takeaways still relevant today
People Purpose Pay is the highlight for me from this episode. And kudos on finishing the S01 guys.
The best design podcast
Please, please, please do a season 2! This has been such an amazing series and super inspirational to me as a new designer. Also, do it with us at Panoply (shameless plug - inspired by y'all)!
Fantastic series, guys. A real lifeline.
Jesse Jackson IV amazing to hear!!
(24:20) The book "Pitch Anything" changed my life! Thanks for the recommendation!

best wishes for future endeavors!
p.s. Bobby don't spar with Jared when it comes to alcohol, your liver doesn't regenerate anymore :P
Thoughts on General Assembly pumping out designers and saturating the field with 10 week trained graduates gunning for mid-level and senior roles?
Not robot mr bobby, well done
Nice
What happened to Jared?? Is he still around?

Fuck!, man this episode my favorite
