Had a chance to catch up with my friend Nitzan while she was in Copenhagen, and this post came up about Denmark from a cultural cohesion perspective. A lot in here that rings true to me, albeit uncomfortably so.
This post by John Cutler links to some of his previous work which I appreciate. Basically on why organizations forget.
A talk about the behavioural monetization tactics behind many of predatory mobile games out there. I was seeing red while watching it, but very worth your time (if only to know when you’re being manipulated).
I’m have standing “office” hours for mutual sparring, tangential discussions, and fun. Some of you are making use of this already and I’m loving it. calendly.com/alb/social
I do 1:1 coaching on creative practice, strategy, process and related topics — less life coach, more sparring partner. It’s not my main gig, I don’t charge a lot, and I focus on makers, designers, and entrepreneurs pretty exclusively. Book an intro session with me
