This week’s episode of Upgrade is something really special, and it would mean a lot to me if you’d take a listen and let us know what you think. As part of our celebration of Apple’s 50th, Jason researched and put together the story of Apple’s
A new episode of Cortex just dropped: Myke talks to Quinn Nelson of Snazzy Labs about adapting a creative workflow after becoming a parent – how major life changes reshape priorities, time, and systems, and how creators rebuild sustainable ways to keep making things. Quinn and I have been on a
A couple of weeks ago, Tim Cook shared a letter on Apple’s website reflecting on the company’s upcoming 50th anniversary, noting that they would be recognising and celebrating it. Since then, a number of activities and events have been taking place in various locations around the world. In
When I started the State of the Workflow series, I realised that it had been a long time since I’d been a guest on non-Relay podcasts — especially in an interview format. Once I started asking people to appear on my show, it only felt right that I should take

I love being self-employed. There are many challenges that come with charting your own course, but the flexibility this life affords is very important to me.

One of the things I’ve already been observing from my Yearly Theme (The Year of New) is the idea of “New Behaviours.” I’m trying to adapt my reactions to things so I can better give my family what they need. This week has already been a test of
