Great products, built by designers.
Conversations with designers and product thinkers using AI to turn ideas into products.
Meet the builders

Kyle Jacobsen (Applica)
The best candidates don't always win. The best prepared ones do. Applica brings order, confidence, and momentum back to the job search.

Mike Baird (Kairos)
Find your next executive role before it's posted. Kairos matches your leadership profile against live vacancy signals so VPs of Product and CPOs arrive before the search goes public.

Phill Monson (Witten)
A visual history app inspired by a degree in European history. In this conversation: the Jarvis approach, fighting AI overreach, solving design problems, and staying human.

Grady Kelly (Woven Prayers)
Woven Prayers was born out of a simple desire: to pray for the people we love, know they were praying for us, and never let an answered prayer go uncelebrated.

Aaron Airmet (Brag Board)
Never scramble for performance review proof again. Capture wins as they happen. Generate a promotion-ready narrative in seconds—from real work, not memory.

Every episode, I'll sit down with a designer who's built something with the help of AI.
