10:30 a.m. - 11:00  a.m. -Designed for Love - Designers obsess over “user-friendly.” There’s an assumption that if you make an experience just a little more intuitive, a little more seamless, and a little more useful, customers will reward you. But the truth is you won’t win fans that way; customers want to be courted more than they want convenience. How do we design experiences that matter, experiences that obsess over long after they’ve stepped away from the screen? How do we turn the mundane into the remarkable? We’ll examine leading examples to unpack the human factors that resonate with users and change how customers interact with brands in their daily lives. Presented by <A HREF="http://rustykocian.com/" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Rusty Kocian</A>, a Designer at <A HREF="https://www.argodesign.com/" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">argodesign</A>.

11:00 a.m. - 11:30 a,m. - Adventures in Podcasting: There are many people out there selling courses on how to get rich with a podcast.  However, in most cases, the only person making money is the person selling the course.  Thom Singer has been producing his <A HREF="https://thomsinger.com/podcast/" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">"Cool Things Entrepreneurs Do"</A> podcast for 5 years and over 500 episodes. While it is not making him oodles of money, it does open up doors for his business as a professional speaker, helps with content creation and SEO, and gives him access to interview cool people (like the co-founder of Kickstarter, the former CIO of Facebook, etc...).  In this short session, he will clear up many of the myths about podcasting and share his journey as a host and guest on hundreds of shows.
