“I am a firm believer in doing what you love no matter what it takes.” Vaughn Dabney’s philosophy of happiness has led him to personal and professional success, and I couldn’t think of a better person to have on the show during a time of the year when we’re all making goals and resolutions to improve.

We talked about what drew him to mobile development, his dev platform of choice, his company Empty Box Media, and where he sees his company going in the future. For Vaughn, being happy is his #1 concern, and it’s clear that his work gives him the freedom to do pursue his dreams. Enjoy the interview!

Episode 122: Napoleon Wright II

We're back with a great interview with multitalented creative Napoleon Wright II.

When I asked Napoleon Wright II to describe what he does, he gave me a list of titles — animator, videographer, filmmaker, musician, designer, etc. Needless to say, he’s brimming with creative ability, and that always makes for a great interview.

We started off talking about the Raleigh creative scene, and from there went into how Napoleon first got into design, the creation of his design company Pan II Creative, as well as his forays into music. This industry moves fast, and a creative like Napoleon has just what it takes to adapt and thrive. Enjoy the interview!

Happy new year! We’re kicking off our 2016 interviews by chatting with Mario Moorhead. While Mario is a full-stack developer and architect, a lot of our conversation didn’t even focus on technology!

We talked about how Mario got into programming, his life as a musician, some projects he’s working on right now (including a political mashup site), and the people who inspire him. You can tell Mario’s a real deep thinker with a unique outlook on life. Hope you enjoy!

Oen Michael Hammonds, a designer, mentor and lead facilitator at IBM Design, has designed across the gamut โ€” advertising, graphic, interactive and environmental. At IBM Design, Oen works with internal teams to develop design thinking among executives, software development teams, and sales.

First, we talked about design thinking — what it is, how it’s used, and why it’s important. From there, our conversation focused on Oen’s journey as a designer, the importance of AIGA to his career, and what excites him about design. What a great way to end out the year!

Episode 119: Erica Joy

Next up, a really great interview with Erica Joy, build and release engineer for Slack.

erica-joy-300

Erica Joy is a build and release engineer for Slack. When she’s not busy working on the latest features for the popular team collaboration tool, she’s speaking out on the problems in the tech community and how they can be solved.

We spoke about a typical day at Slack, talked about her popular piece on Medium titled “The Other Side of Diversity”, touched on the topic of diversity advocacy, and even talked about genealogy. (Talk about a range of topics!) Erica’s voice is so needed in this current state of the industry, and I’m really glad for the opportunity to share her story!
