  • ArlieLP
    Outstanding!
    It’s obvious that the IDEO team puts extraordinary effort into covering salient topics and finding guests that center creativity and impact in all that they do. The insights they offer consistently resonate with me! Highly recommend tuning in - it’s an excellent listen. 🙌
  • Kékcsillag
    OK but some of the guests are annoying
    Getting tired of some know-it-all guests talking pedantically in a slow and measured way as if we’re all five year old idiots. Just talk normally. Thank You.
  • Yubing_S
    Favorite podcast on creativity!
    The podcast provides great content bridging the framework of design thinking from IDEO and real business applications from entrepreneurs and innovators from all over the world. It has changed my way of thinking around business building. It’s so much rewarding to learn about creativity and value adding for communities and society, meanwhile building a great business out of it. Recommend everyone who’s aspired to create a business to listen!

    practical tips for work
    On several of these episodes I find myself taking notes and learning things to try out at work. Also like how they often answer questions about how to advance new ideas/change things up.
  • J. Barshop
    I love discovering new ideas here
    I appreciate the variety of episodes, the super practical takeaways, and Suzanne and Coe Leta’s sincere humility - it’s obvious that they only bring on guests that are authentic and truly care about being a positive force in this world.

    Thank you for creating this podcast! I love the content and the style. Lots of great information and it’s inspired me to sign up for your Storytelling course. I wish I had you on speed dial. Absent that, I’ll just keep listening!
