I have all the details and links in this episode so listen on! Interesting to note that this episode was recorded with the details in this episode.

I'm trying a new photo social network, Glass 22.08.2021

I got my invite to Glass, a new photography social network/app. This got me thinking about how users define direction and growth rather than the suggestions of the creators. So far, I'm liking Glass, but could it become another Instagram quality content? Listen on.

Talk about the creation not the tools 11.08.2021

Have you ever noticed how people can talk for hours about the tools they use? That is bad, everyone should talk about the creation instead. We don't appreciate the clay, we appreciate the pot made with it, so let's talk about that instead.  Video Version https://youtu.be/EqSxxLe_ApE Let's Connect https://bio.link/peterw --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/peter-witham/message Support th...

Brain Associations, the game of two parts 31.07.2021

Our brain is always responding to things, triggers and responses. In this episode, I talk a little about how weird things get when the trigger is missing. As an example, I will never get used to taking a photograph and not hearing the sound of a shutter opening and closing. Or a car that does not make the sound of a car. Listen on if you are intrigued and want to play along. Let's Connect https://...

Midweek Minute - What's your elevator pitch to explain your creations? 29.07.2021

How do you feel about your personal work? 26.07.2021

Challenge Follow Up, My Example 18.07.2021

This is a follow-up as I said I would to a challenge I set in Season 5 Episode 27.

Season 5 Episode 27 I said I would give an example so here it is. As mentioned in this episode Buy Me a Coffee Full show notes and leave a comment...

Midweek Minute - Something hard to do, weighing the good and bad 07.07.2021

In this midweek minute, I have a very tough question again for you to face for yourself. But a very worthwhile exercise if you are completely honest. Pick something you find extremely difficult to do or face. Then make two lists, one for the reasons not to do it. Another for the reasons to break through the barrier and do it. Then, see which list is the one you really feel is the best. Be honest!...

Journal - Dealing with failing projects and facing reality 28.06.2021

This is a tough episode but an important one. I expose some inner thoughts on a few of my projects and how I need to figure out what to do with them.

Lessons learned and tips from conducting my first Podcast interview 20.06.2021

Recently I made my first podcast interview. I have appeared as a guest many times on different shows but this was the first time I was the interviewer. I am not afraid to admit that I had been avoiding doing one because it made me super anxious. But I also know that I'm telling you all to push the envelope of comfort to expand. So I had to make myself do it otherwise it just makes me a hypocrite....

Transition users for a smoother experience 09.06.2021

You should always strive to keep people feeling comfortable, transitioning big changes over time is better in my opinion, than a sudden flood of new things that users have to immediately get used to. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/peter-witham/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/peter-witham/support ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
