Sell-Out Culture, the Other 95% of Building Products, to Monetize or Not, and Where the Online Design Community Went

This week, we talk about the lost art of *not* selling out, whether or not to turn an idea into a business (plus David's released the beta of his app Archiv), and the forgotten 95% that goes into releasing a product. We get into the evolution of self-promotion and get nostalgic for when the design community had Twitter as a public space. David's off to pick up some original Karen Mobring-designed IKEA chairs and Jacob's going to the beach (surprise!). And does anyone know why there are parrots in LA?David McGillivray is a designer and creative director in upstate New York, designing for early stage tech companies through his own practice.
