Design Cast

For this episode of Design Cast, I had the pleasure of connecting with Christin Mohammed King.  Christin is a former colleague with so much value to add to any organization.  Her perspective on her recent experience in an all-boys school is incredibly insightful.  We discussed her experience working with boys in several different contexts and what she learned from them.

I do want to mention that we discuss a tragic event in her school and how it affected the boys.  This is a very sensitive topic, and if you are sensitive to hearing about trauma, I would suggest starting to listen to the episode at around the 10 or 12-minute mark.  While we are respectful and do not make light of this event, it is a sensitive topic.

It is my sincere hope that you will find value in our discussion and will share this with your networks and reach out to continue the conversation with me and other listeners!  Please sit back, relax, and enjoy this episode with Christin Mohammed King.

On this episode of #DesignCast I had the opportunity to speak to Dr. Chris Allen.  Chris currently serves as ‘coordinating principal’ for an international secondary school in Surabaya, Indonesia.  He has loads to share about his experiences in international education so far and how his current school is inviting students to engage in entrepreneurship opportunities!  I know that you will enjoy our conversation!

This is episode #100!  I am so humbled and honored that something that started as a way to share some very specific information with some very specific people in June 2017 has grown into a community that is passionate about sharing and learning!  Heard in 120 countries, Design Cast has been ranked among the top education podcasts in over 40 countries during the first 100 episodes!  Episodes have been listened to over 21,000 times.  It is available on nearly every podcast streaming application and platform.

Words cannot express my appreciation for all of the guests and listeners from around the world.  Your support and feedback are invaluable.  I could not have reached this remarkable milestone without you!!!

It is my hope that you and your colleagues find value in the past episodes and that you will enjoy future episodes as well!  For now, please sit back, relax, and enjoy the 100th episode of Design Cast!

On this episode of Design Cast, I had the terrific honor of speaking to Ryan Ford.  Ryan is a 25-year veteran of digital design. He has been fortunate enough to lead design at some of the internet’s most interesting destinations: DeviantArt, Crunchyroll, chime, vida health, and now Crackle & Redbox (where he is working to revitalize these brands).

His background in the industry motivated him to share thinking around topics like leadership, career paths, and (most notably of late) the design process itself. Ryan’s “Design Odyssey” framework topic has been read over 80,000 times as of December 2022 and has led to big reactions: global outreach from educators who want to teach it in their classes, book opportunities, and a TEDx Salon conversation that occurred in early January 2023.

We had a wonderful discussion and I am sure that you will find some value in many of the topics that we cover.  Now let us set fire to the design process and use Design Cast as a catalyst!  Enjoy!

On this episode of Design Cast I had the pleasure of chatting with my longtime friend and colleague Dr. Barbara Wrightson.  Spanning more than 25 years in the field of education, Barb's career has encompassed a myriad of roles in PK-12 schooling, ranging from a teacher (of multiple Secondary subjects) to Curriculum Coordinator to Administrator. Additionally, she teaches and trains teachers at the tertiary level. Throughout her time in the field of education, Barb has gained a wealth of knowledge, experience, and education about education, and has developed a talent for engaging in lifelong learning.

Currently, Barb is a lecturer at Pacific Islands University in Guam and Handong Global University in South Korea.  We talk about several topics, but our time discussing our thoughts about the future of education is fascinating and shouldn't be missed. I have no doubt that our chat will leave you wanting to hear more!
