'Twas a dark and stormy night in Dublin... Tune into this week's episode to hear Tom tell a riveting tale of a disaster corrected by the power of DIY. Experience makes life bigger. It expands our worldview. People decide more and more to pay for experiences than buy stuff. The same goes for learning to be a better designer. Going through the experience, learning by doing, trial and error—it all make us better at what we do. And enjoy the journey a bit more along the way. Here are some highlights from the episode What makes good advice, and when should you take it Learning tools with tutorials and not Milestones in life: houses and kids The case for thrusting yourself into experiences Outsourcing life And some fun facts This is episode 10! I think we're real podcasters now We planned to record a whole different topic, but changed at the last second after Tom told his car bumper story. We like how it turned out.
