We held a vote, and Mastodon won
For a brief moment last week, it seemed possible that Twitter was going to die. Like, cease to exist. Gone. Just like that.
The vibe on Twitter was dire, friends. Like “last day of school before summer vacation, please sign my yearbook” vibes.
While neither of us really believe Twitter is going away, watching the masses write farewell tweets and share where people could find them on other channels, like Mastodon, got us thinking: If Twitter does go away, do we really just want to move the party elsewhere? Is that really possible? If we really could start anew, what would bring US the most value? How could we make good choices?
It’s Thanksgiving Week, so have an extra helping of pie and dig into a new episode of PFC.

Free your mind and the rest will follow
You’re a creative? Lucky you! Must be all fun and games.
For some, this is far from the truth. Between needy clients, a lack of support, deadlines, and endless revisions, how are we supposed to find the time for fun?
In this episode, Michelle and Steve are inspired by legends Paul McCartney and John Cleese, who remind us that creating space for play is essential to our work.
Take a breather, plug in and join us for this important discussion.

What data doesn’t tell you
Instagram said it was one thing. And everyone else said it was something else. Quite loudly.
And wouldn’t you know, Instagram backed off its video or bust approach to its content focus. At least for now.
This public display of feedback got us thinking about the value of analytics and data in decision-making – specifically, what data doesn’t tell us.
Can data mislead based on the goal of the interpreter? Is everything important measurable? Is everything measurable important?
In this episode, we dive into why translating data into how humans think and feel is paramount to everything we do. Dive into this important discussion with us.

The Thoughtful Creatives
This podcast hits on two of my favorite things: 1) it’s a podcast and I love podcasts so it has that going for it and 2) it’s an authentic and interesting conversation about creativity. These hosts really have thoughtful conversations each week to get me thinking and they are different enough to provide multiple perspectives. A great podcast gets the listener to a place where they are thinking, intrigued to stay the course to the end, and leaving with something to relate to. This pod accomplishes all three.
