63: Growth Hacking and Design Sprints Make Love
Fish burning. 🐟 Dog barking. 🐶 Jonathan is doing a Growth Sprint Workshop?! That's not all. He's also leaving money on the table. It's right there. Yes, that table. It's your if you want it. 🤑 Babies are dogs. Or maybe they're comparable to dogs. Something like that. 🤷♂️ Also, don't feel bad about stuff that makes you feel bad. 😌

62: Let's Talk Product Strategy
Jake & Jonathan kick-off the first episode of the new year by diving straight into prod… no, they start by rambling for a good long while. But it’s good rambling: new year goals, journaling, setting OKRs, and Jonathan’s mom meets a random Irish guy that knows Jake. 😂 But then! Then Jake and Jonathan talk about a super interesting article about advertising business models and going beyond them. It’s a good one! 🤑

Design sprints aren’t for every problem. They won’t help you with your constipation. 💩

53: How to Design Non-Sh**t Conferences with ANDY BUDD
Jonathan interviews Andy Budd, co-founder of Clearleft and the man behind popular design conferences like UX London and Leading Design. Jonathan asks lots of questions and but doesn’t even get close to asking everything he wants to ask. Some of the topics Jonathan and Andy touch on:
How Andy is pathological! It’s true! 👻
What are conferences for? Spoiler: it’s not education! 🤔
How to connect with people at conferences? 🤚🏻
How does Andy balance watching over 500 conference talks a year with running Clearleft? 🤯
Managing cashflow when running an agency. 🤑
How to agency? 🧐
Lastly they talk about selling out, because, spoiler, Jonathan is thinking of SELLING OFF AJ&SMART! WHAAAT! Yeah, no, just kidding. 😌

Jonathan starts with a rambly 4-minute intro that leads into a solocast since Jake’s not here. Jake’s in London doing more important stuff than talking to Jonathan. 🕺🏻
Jonathan talks about Jason Fried and DHH’s new book, It Doesn’t Have to Be Crazy at Work. He even does a dramatic reading of one chapter: Launch and Learn. Jonathan looks up a word in the dictionary. And surprise, surprise, Jonathan disses research again. 📖
Finally, Jonathan asks you for favors! 🙏🏻

51: When Being LAZY is SMART!
This episode starts off with a very subtle ad, that’s not at all in-your-face. Also, it’s not sponsored by Squarespace or Zip Recruiter. It’s important that you know that. Some of the things Jake & Jon talk about in this episode:
How AJ&Smart went from 💩💩💩 to 😎🤯🤩 when it comes to social media presence. Jonathan plans to go much deeper on content and share more about stuff that currently doesn’t get the spotlight, like strategy, stuff from the workshops and Q&A’s, conversations at AJ&Smart, and day-to-day snippets. Also, there’s going to be more content from AJ&Smart soon. A lot more. Like 10x more. There’s going to be a lot more documenting and repurposing content to keep things fresh. 🥦 Because rotting videos are bad for the environment. 🤢
Jake briefly talks about spaceships, AI, and how AJ&Smart works like a hive mind.
Book discussion! Jakes and Jon talk about Jason Fried’s new book, It Doesn’t Have to Be Crazy at Work.
Jon gets philosophical. Then he starts making a good case for laziness. That’s right being lazy is the new hustle!
What are design agencies? Jonathan wasn’t sure when he started AJ&Smart. He’s still not sure to this day.
Would Jon sell his soul to big clients?
Jake joins in and talks about what success meant to him early in his career and how his views on success have evolved.
The episode wraps up with Jake reading some Amazon.com reviews for his new book Make Time. Buy Make Time!

50: FIFTY?! 💦🦔
The podcast is 50, so it’s officially a middle-aged rambly guy! 👴🏻 There’s someone in Jake’s background, who suddenly takes over from Jake. He also invented the Design Sprint. Maybe it’s just Jake doing a French accent..? 🥖 This episode literally has zero useful information for anyone. It’s just Jake and Jonathan patting themselves on the back for recording 50 Skype calls of them talking and inflicting those conversations on the world. 😌 But if you tuned in for the previous 49 episodes, then that’s not likely to discourage you from listening. Have fun! 🤓

49: MONA PATEL on Starting and Growing a Multi Million Dollar Design Agency
Jonathan interviews Mona Patel, who really makes Jonathan look like a boring, lazy person in comparison. Mona is the founder of 3 companies: Motivate Design, UX Hires, and Insider Insight. Aaaand she’s the author of Reframe: Shift the Way You Work, Innovate, and Think. Jonathan who?
Some of the topics covered:
Mona’s story in a nutshell. Her work at NASA(!!) and Kodak. 🤯
How do you prove yourself in a company? Speak your mind, but only if you have something useful to say! 😛
Jonathan ADMITS he doesn’t think research is useless, and where it’s can be best employed. 🤓
THE INSIDERS! Who are they?! How are they contributing good karma to the world? And what is the Observation Method? 👀
Solopreneuring…while pregnant! 🤰🏽
How to hire well. 👩🏼💻
Tony Robbins comes into the story at some point. 🕺🏻

48: How to be a Product Leader - SCOTT BELSKY
Jonathan interviews Scott Belsky, founder of Behance and currently Adobe's Chief Product Officer and Executive Vice President of Creative Cloud, and only asks him questions that were sent in by you, the listener! Just kidding, Jonathan selfishly asks Scott questions about building a business and about leadership, because those are the ones most relevant to Jonathan’s current role as a CEO. But he does throw in a product question at the end. So there’s at least one question for everyone! 😝
Here’s how the interview goes in broad strokes:
Jonathan gushes over Scott Belsky. 😍
Scott Belsky on building Behance. 👷
How to keep people motivated. EMPATHY! 😌
The line between life and work. 💼
The lows & highs of creating a business & the importance of self-awareness during both. 📈
What do you do when you get the feeling that it’s not going to work out? When do you know when to quit? It’s all about conviction. 🤓
How to deal with distractions? 💩
Who shouldn’t read the Messy Middle? 🛑 📖
What’s more important, ideas or execution? ✨
A book within a book! 🧐
How people are lazy, vain, and selfish. 😬

47: Big Product Decisions: Gut Feeling or Test?
Jonathan is famous and get recognized while holding underwear. 👙
Jake's new book Make Time is coming out tomorrow! 🔥📖🔥
Jake and Jonathan discuss different approaches to giving talks. Jake always wings it, while Jonathan sweats every detail! Sound right, right? 🤔
Jonathan charges an ungodly amount for talks...because he can. 🤑
Jake and Jonathan drop some wisdom on giving talks. Being entertaining is key. No forget that, actually just be serious. 😶
Jake candidly roasts Jonathan on his interview skills, then they talk about how TOTALLY confident they are when they interview guests. 😎
Creative Selection book discussion. Gut → demo → launch. How that relates to the sprint. Words matter: Prototype vs demo. 👨🏻🎨

45: Apple is DOOMED! iPhone XS, Watch Series 4 LEAKED
This week something cool is about to drop… and it’s not the theme tune to Fragil Rock. It’s that time for Apple’s special event - 2018. The invitations are out, but so are the rumours. This year also comes with a whole bunch of leaks (whoooo let the dogs out). So Jonathan chats to Jake via some crappy Skype phone sound (apologies) and go over the pre-event rumours and leaks, as they surface.
We explore the 3 different iPhone models, possible iPad and iWatch improvements and what it means for this ‘Tick-Tock’ tock year. We also look at the flaws in Apples yearly improvements but the desire that captivates all Apple users to buy every year.
Oh and some Yodelling…
