    Episode 17: That moment is given to you by the lack of gravity

    Late last year, I decided I wanted to talk with someone who had gone though what might be the most unique human experience possible, someone who has been into outer space. Fast forward to today where I was able to interview Astronaut Clayton Anderson, thanks to Source Sleuth, a service that finds experts for people telling stories. Clayton and I talked about what it felt like to ride a rocket ship into outer space, the 15 year path he took to get there (including 14 years worth of rejection letters), the 5 months he spent on the international space station, how this perspective shapes ones worldview and what he's doing now as an author and public speaker. I'm very grateful for the time Clayton gave to speak with me, and inspired by hearing his story of determination. You can keep up with Clayton by following him on twitter at @astro_clay, checking out his facebook page at http://facebook.com/astroclay, and visiting his website at http://astroclay.com.

    Episode 12 - A Conversation with the AppendTo cofounders

    In this episode I interview Jonathan Sharp and Mike Hostetler of appendTo, a JQuery development shop that was founded by the two in 2009. They took the time to talk about the growth of their organization, how they go about getting clients, being a small business that works with big clients, and the point at which they turn business down. We also talked quite a bit about pricing, managing teams that are geographically dispersed, and the benefits and challenges that come with working from home or in a small office.

    Episode 11 - Projects, products and design

    In this episode I'm joined by Ryan Singer, a designer at 37signals who kids that his "cocktail title" would be a product manager. Much of what I know about web design comes from listening to what Ryan has to say on the matter, and I really appreciate the time he spent with me. We talked about how teams work together, design, how work gets prioritized, and the kinds of things that influence their decisions - about both design and the process of getting their work done. The People and links Ryan mentioned: Kent Beck and Test Driven Development Ed Catmull - How to Keep your Crisis Small
