Each creative discipline offers a piece of the puzzle of human creativity. In this episode, host Chauncey Zalkin sits down with three time "International Designer of the Year" award winner and Fast Company board member Todd Bracher to talk about how we can shift the emphasis from needless crap to creating a better future for everyone from an essentialist design perspective.
Inside the episode:
- The value of crossing disciplines to bring more power to great ideas — and your career.
- Why ditching outside experts is a big mistake companies increasingly make at their own peril.
- How A.I. will accelerate innovation and not replace humans.
