    Why Smart Teams Get Stuck: Rethinking How We Work Together with Preston Chandler

    In this episode, we sit down with Preston Chandler, Global Strategic Operations Lead at WPP and co-owner of transformation firm Centered, to explore a question that affects almost every organization: Why do smart people with good intentions and real resources still struggle to get meaningful work done? With two decades of experience working across Fortune 500 organizations and startups, Preston has seen firsthand that the problem is rarely a lack of talent or effort. More often, it's the systems, structures, and assumptions that shape how people work together. We explore why traditional approaches to collaboration and organizational change often fail, why "buy-in" isn't always the solution, and how teams can rethink the way they approach complex problems. Preston also shares his perspective on AI and the future of work, separating the areas where AI is genuinely changing how teams operate from the places where it's simply becoming expensive noise. As the co-author of The Agile Code and Breakthrough Innovation, and co-author of ADAPT, Preston brings practical experience and contrarian thinking to the conversation but without relying on frameworks for the sake of frameworks. We discuss leadership, organizational transformation, innovation, collaboration, AI, team performance, and the future of work, with a focus on helping people challenge the assumption that "this is just how things are done." If you're a leader, entrepreneur, marketer, product professional, or team builder who believes there has to be a better way to work, this episode offers a fresh lens for understanding what's really holding teams back and what you can do differently. #PrestonChandler #WPP #Centered #Leadership #FutureOfWork #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Teamwork #OrganizationalChange #Innovation #Transformation #Agile #BusinessStrategy #Collaboration #TeamPerformance #Productivity #LeadershipDevelopment #Entrepreneurship #Podcast #PodMatch #DesignWave

    Your Best Years Aren’t Behind You: How AI Can Extend Peak Performance with Ted Yang

    In this episode, we sit down with Ted Yang, author of Ageless Peak Performance: The Playbook for AI-Powered Excellence, to explore a different way of thinking about artificial intelligence not as a tool for replacing people, but as a way to amplify human potential. Most conversations about AI focus on automation, job displacement, and what technology might take away. Ted takes a different perspective: human leverage. We explore how AI can function as a personal cognitive team helping with research, strategy, analysis, editing, coaching, memory, decision-making, and execution. Instead of simply asking AI to write an email or complete a basic task, Ted challenges us to rethink our entire relationship with cognitive work. The conversation also explores how AI could change the traditional performance curve. While speed, memory, and stamina may naturally change over time, qualities such as judgment, pattern recognition, relationships, experience, and strategic thinking can become increasingly valuable. Ted explains why becoming an AI Adopter, rather than a casual AI user, could be the key to extending your most productive years and turning decades of experience into an even greater advantage. If you're a professional, entrepreneur, leader, or experienced expert wondering how AI can enhance not replace your abilities, this episode offers a practical and optimistic perspective on the future of work and human performance. #TedYang #AgelessPeakPerformance #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #HumanPotential #PeakPerformance #AIPowered #AIAdoption #FutureOfWork #Leadership #Productivity #Innovation #PersonalGrowth #CareerGrowth #Entrepreneurship #Technology #HumanLeverage #AIForBusiness #Podcast #PodMatch #DesignWave

    When Your Brand Outgrows Your Business: Knowing When It’s Time to Evolve with Solveig Petch

    In this episode, we sit down with Solveig Petch, a brand strategist and design expert with more than 20 years of experience working at the intersection of strategy and design. Solveig has built her career around helping founders and established businesses identify the patterns, disconnects, and opportunities they often can't see because they're too close to their own business. We explore what happens when a company grows but its brand doesn't grow with it and how that disconnect can quietly affect perception, positioning, customer trust, and long-term growth. Solveig breaks down the difference between a logo and a true brand, explains brand equity in practical terms, and shares why having a beautiful brand strategy means very little if the strategy never makes it into the business itself. We also discuss her Business, Brand, Legacy approach and how founders can build brands designed not just for today's success, but for longevity. Beyond branding, Solveig gets candid about the less polished side of entrepreneurship: self-doubt, financial uncertainty, identity shifts, and the challenge of keeping work and life from becoming completely intertwined. If you're a founder, consultant, entrepreneur, or business leader building something you want to last, this conversation will challenge you to look at your brand differently and ask the uncomfortable questions that could unlock your next stage of growth. #SolveigPetch #BrandStrategy #Branding #BusinessStrategy #BrandIdentity #BrandEquity #Entrepreneurship #BusinessGrowth #DesignStrategy #PersonalBranding #Leadership #Marketing #BrandDevelopment #BusinessTransformation #Legacy #CreativeBusiness #FounderLife #Podcast #PodMatch #DesignWave

    From Burnout to Building Better: Ryan Griffin on Creativity, Leadership & Doing Business Differently

    In this episode of DesignWave Podcast, we sit down with Ryan Griffin, founder of Chunky Duck, to explore entrepreneurship, creativity, leadership, burnout, and what it really means to build a successful business without losing your humanity along the way. Ryan’s journey has been anything but conventional. From representing Australia in baseball and earning All-American honours in the US, to fast-tracking his career in digital marketing, major surgery, burnout, and an existential quarter-life crisis, Ryan learned that success isn't always about moving faster. After cycling across South America and later working with sharks, rays, and penguins at Sydney Aquarium, Ryan eventually found his way back to marketing. During the pandemic, he founded Chunky Duck, a creative agency built remotely from day one and grounded in performance, integrity, flexibility, and genuine human connection. In this conversation, Ryan shares lessons on burnout recovery, remote work, creative leadership, entrepreneurship, work-life balance, and building a business that supports your life rather than consuming it. A candid, funny, and inspiring conversation for entrepreneurs, creatives, leaders, and anyone questioning what success should actually look like. #RyanGriffin #ChunkyDuck #Entrepreneurship #Leadership #CreativeLeadership #DigitalMarketing #RemoteWork #BurnoutRecovery #WorkLifeBalance #BusinessGrowth #Creativity #Marketing #EntrepreneurMindset #FutureOfWork #DesignWavePodcast #PodcastGuest #PodMatch

    Your Website Is Selling Before Your Sales Team Does: The B2B Website Playbook with Evgenii Tilipman

    In this episode, we sit down with Evgenii Tilipman, founder of Khod, a web and growth agency helping funded B2B startups in AI, Web3, and enterprise SaaS turn their websites into powerful growth engines. Evgenii has helped launch websites for companies including Bland AI, Synthflow, Chili Piper, and Avarra, with Khod working with more than 20 funded startups and retaining 75% of them for ongoing work. We explore a simple but often overlooked idea: most B2B deals are influenced long before a sales conversation happens and your website plays a major role. Evgenii shares practical frameworks for understanding what separates a B2B website that converts from one that simply looks good. We discuss website strategy after raising a funding round, what enterprise buyers and investors expect, how quickly a high-performing site can be launched, and the role of SEO, CRO, messaging, and design in driving qualified leads. We also dive into Evgenii's journey from building Webflow sites as a freelancer to scaling a full-service growth agency, including the challenges of systematizing creative work, pricing, positioning, and building a team that doesn't depend entirely on the founder. If you're a founder, B2B marketer, growth leader, agency operator, or Webflow enthusiast, this episode is packed with real examples, frameworks, and lessons on turning your website into a serious business asset. #EvgeniiTilipman #Khod #B2BMarketing #B2BGrowth #WebDesign #Webflow #SaaS #AI #GrowthMarketing #ConversionRateOptimization #SEO #LeadGeneration #StartupGrowth #Entrepreneurship #AgencyGrowth #ProductMarketing #Podcast #PodMatch #DesignWave
