Tesla Car Episode #2 - Cognitive Cost

Tesla Car Episode #2 - Cognitive Cost

Are we asking too much of people in online workshops to always have their cameras on? Can we really pay attention to numerous digital exercises in a row without feeling mentally fatigued?

In this episode, explore the notion of cognitive cost and its impact on participants of online workshops. I also offer up an alternative solution that combines asynchronous work with a three step, one hour process for maintaining momentum while keeping everyone’s attention at an optimal level.

Hope you enjoy the show!

Tesla Car Episode #1: Mural Masters and Miro Masters

I thought it might be fun to record an episode in my Tesla while I was running some errands. I don’t know if the audio quality is going to be enough, but hopefully it’s entertaining.

Anyway, in this episode I talk about two new services I’m going to be prototyping in the weeks to come. Mural Masters and Miro Masters. The idea is to do at least 10 experiments for each one to see if either of them have traction in the market.

If you have any comments, opinions, or questions about what I talk about in this episode, please reach out to me on LinkedIn. Just do a search for Robert Skrobe and you’ll find me. :-) Thanks for listening!

DDS Bonus Birthday Podcast: 2019 Predictions, Ramblings and Space Nachos

Just for kicks, I'm publishing an episode about some things I think will come to pass in the design sprint / UX world in 2019.  That and I ramble on about how old I am now.

Btw, Parry Gripp's Space Nachos... perfect song to listen to when driving back from a parent-teacher conference by yourself.  Don't ask.... it was a moment in time.  

But seriously, go check out Parry Gripp on YouTube.  His songs are one of a kind, and my kid loves em.  Not a paid endorsement, as he can slap a copyright claim on my intros.  I just love his stuff.
