This reader correctly observed that most of my content “seems more targeted at senior leadership” — and had asked if I could address this more IC-oriented topic on the show. I’ll break down why technical chops alone aren’t enough, and how user-centered thinking, business impact, and outcome-focused mindsets are key to real success — and where each of these prior role...2025-06-1050 minImmaterial VoicesImmaterial VoicesSpecies of Mood: Urban Atmospheres, Mobilities, and Art with Brian O'NeillHow, and by what means, can we capture urban atmospheres and mobility?
