Art of the App
In each episode of Art of the App, I talk with trailblazing founders, investors and other top minds to discuss their journey and role as agents of change. We dig into the frameworks, thought processes and values that help guide them from early ideas to the stand-out products and brands that people love and trust. Plus, what routines and philosophies do they live by and who are they learning from right now?
