The Making Digital Guide to Getting Un-stucky

Is un-stucky even a word? No, no it is not. But when has that stopped us? Sometimes you love your job, but you feel stuck in a rut. It happens to everyone at some point, but it is especially painful for creatives. In this episode, Jared and Jeremy make up new words and tell you how they have handled situations like this in their careers.

In the first of our Digital Makers [DM] series, we interview Belinda Medellin, creator of the first UX curriculum for High School students. In this inspirational talk, Jared and Jeremy reminisce on how much a program like this would have helped them stay out of trouble, and Belinda shows us all how teachers have been using the principles of design thinking for years without realizing what it was.

in 5 Easy Steps [SHORT]

In this digital short, hosts Jeremy Karney and Jared Stephens discuss sure fire ways to destroy a team. Using their vast experience on their subject combined with their keen observational skills (Jared's, at least), they show you the tactics and strategies you can use to destroy your team as skillfully as they have destroyed dozens of teams in the past. Or the whole episode is an extended metaphor on what NOT to do. Which is it? You decide.
