    The Currency of Craft

    Nick and Tim dig into what “greatness” looks like in a world where AI can produce “good” work faster than ever. Sparked by Tom Scott’s take on spotting great designers, they explore how craft, taste, and judgment show up today as roles blur and teams move faster and why shipping real work is becoming the new résumé. The episode wraps up with a tangent on the myth of how the bee got its sting and what it reveals about the stories we tell ourselves about talent and greatness.

    The Masks We Wear

    Nick and Tim reflect on summer adventures and the value of stepping into new places and cultures. From Nick’s first sauna and cold plunge to the subtle art of wearing different masks in the workplace, they explore how experiences shape perspective. Along the way, they dive into the role of opinion in leadership and how to steer the ship through uncertainty. The episode wraps up with a tangent on AI “slop” — and how some teams are finding genuinely smart ways to co-design with AI agents.

    The Revenge of Taste (Pilot Episode)

    Nick and Tim explore the role of taste in design, fashion, and culture—from quiet menswear and scattered digital inspiration boards to whether AI can ever develop an aesthetic sense. Along the way, they swap life updates, talk about new creative projects (including Hot100.ai), and debate a provocative idea: should social media have closing hours, like a library at 8PM?
