How a Name Change Became Our Biggest Opportunity Yet

It's Chris Whyte here, founder of Kodu and host of The Design Journeys Podcast. I wanted to share an important announcement.
After nine months of sharing stories from the world of physical product development, The Design Journeys Podcast is evolving.
Starting in January, weโll be rebranding as ๐๐ก๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ข๐ ๐ง?
๐๐ก๐ฒ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ก๐๐ง๐ ๐?
A few weeks ago, the host of Design Journeys, a French-language podcast about digital product design, reached out.
Theyโd noticed some listener confusion between our two shows and politely asked if weโd consider renaming.
Iโll be honestโhearing that hit hard. Seeing something youโve built get challenged isnโt easy. But after stepping back, I realised that if the roles were reversed, Iโd want to protect my brand too.
So, after a bit of sulking... I saw this for what it really is: ๐ ๐ก๐ฎ๐ ๐ ๐จ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ.
The podcast has grown into something far bigger than I ever imaginedโa community of passionate guests and listeners exploring the complexities of physical product development. Itโs no longer just about storiesโitโs a space where ideas spark, connections form, and learning never stops.
And weโre just getting started.
