✨ During my session on 10/16, attendees will get free access to Marvin, an AI-powered research tool, so everyone can get hands-on experience generating personas and journey maps using real data.

@cperfetti.bsky.social told me the last collective cohort was full of energy and collaboration, and I can’t wait to build on that momentum.

One of the things I love most about this kind of space is connecting with other researchers. It's a great space to compare challenges, share real-world stories, and exploring how AI is reshaping the way we work.

Hearing them describe how they’ve found a way to work together without giving up their independence is inspiring, and a great reminder that there’s no one “right” way to structure a consulting career.

Thanks, Steve! That means a lot coming from you.

🚀 Season 2 kicks off in just a couple of weeks with a great conversation featuring @steveportigal.bsky.social and @pseudoroom.bsky.social. Don’t miss it!

@cperfetti.bsky.social , @brownorama.bsky.social , and Susan Mercer. I’m so grateful for your honesty and insights, and for being willing to share the full reality of this work, the highs and the lows.

A huge thank you to all of my incredible guests this past year: @karenmcgrane.bsky.social , @beccakennedy.bsky.social , Elizabeth Creighton, @lynneux.bsky.social , @jwd2a.bsky.social , @erikahall.bsky.social , @monteiro.bsky.social , Tamara Adlin, @lisabragg.bsky.social ,

🫶 To my listeners: thank you. Your support means so much.
If you haven’t had a chance to check it out yet, I’d love to invite you to give it a listen. Whether you’re just starting out or have been consulting for years, I hope the Lounge feels like a space to learn, laugh, & feel a little less alone.

My original goal was to publish at least once a month. I came close, with 11 episodes in 12 months, missing just one due to a last-minute scheduling hiccup. I wish I could produce more, but it’s tough to find time between work, family, and some new exciting projects (more on that soon!).

🔔 If you’ve enjoyed the show, I’d be so grateful if you could rate, comment, or subscribe on your favorite podcast platform. Every little bit helps spread the word.

Learning how to host, record, edit, and publish a podcast has definitely come with its challenges, but I’ve genuinely enjoyed the process. It feels good to put something into the world that I hope is helpful to others in the UX community.
