How to Design Your Own Success (ft. Matthew Encina) - 080

In this episode, Matthew shares his expert advice on mentorship, productivity, and brand pitching. We dive deep into the topic of curiosity and why context is so important when it comes to growing as a creative. He previously worked with his mentor Chris Do at The Futur, an educational community for designers and creatives. After leaving Futur, Matthew has been building his own design studio (⁠Mod Musings⁠) and sharing his creative process online.

Thanks so much for having me on, sharing space, and being curious. ✌🏽

[@midconvo]

Absolutely loved having you on the podcast. Thanks Matthew for all that you do.

[@haru_1997]

Hey Matt!!! I'm a fan of yours! Been watching your vids since you started YT.

[@edwardleefilms]

Had so much fun hopping on the mic with Matthew. Thank you to everyone who has listened so far!

[@JobsJournal]

So inspiring! Thank you for the insightful chat. Big fan of Matthew's work!

[@guiancarlo]

Oh wow, two of my favorite people on Earth in one frame.

[@mukahispahani]

i've learned a lot from this interview. Thank you Matthew and midconvo

[@patrickcasella]

what a perfect collab. Thanks for having Matthew on, I've been following his work since he built out his epic studio!

[@MatthewEncina]

🙏🏽

[@midconvo]

The studio is just as epic in person as it is online. Thanks man!

[@MattFitzgerald]

Dang dude chase that story!!! @50:00 --> I feel like you backed out of a very interesting path to follow conversationally. All love, and an excellent episode -- I just wanted to express some thought there. Matthew was WAY more of a talker than I expected, and I'm sure it was tough to know what direction to take everything because he was ready to run whichever way you pointed him.

[@MattFitzgerald]

No idea how I accidentally formatted that with the strikethrough what the heck

[@MatthewEncina]

What else were you curious about in that story?

[@MattFitzgerald]

@@MatthewEncina Your story was a powerful introspective look exploring a tough human question: "What do we actually want out of our work?"
I wanted to hear more about your path to deciding your future was creating a design studio, rather than chasing Authorship and other opportunities. You have managed to narrow down and focus your brand exceptionally -- which seems to have come from some of those difficult decisions. How did you go about clarifying your path, and do you have any advice for someone trying to clarify their personal Brand?

[@zach881]

[@marilouencina4166]

Does the keyboard sound correspond to a certain musical note?

[@MatthewEncina]

The sound is shaped by the materials, density, and form, but does not correspond to any musical note.
