This episode explores the intersection of technology, strategy, and the essence of building communities within products.
Bryan brings a wealth of experience from his tech strategy consulting firm and shares his unique approach to building scalable and engaging products.
In this episode, he credits much of Goldfishโs success with his โmotivation-driven designโ process, which highlights the importance of aligning user motivations with business goals.
We discussed:
(04:41) Bryanโs background and the genesis of Goldfish Code
(08:11) Insights on the role of a virtual CTO and strategic consulting

Interview Takeaways:
Understanding Motivation-Driven Design
Bryanโs approach focuses on user motivations to drive product development, such as loss avoidance and community belonging.
Using behavioral psychology techniques, Goldfish Code ensures that products meet functional requirements and engage users emotionally.

Balancing Custom Builds and Existing Tools
Rather than reinventing the wheel, Bryan emphasizes leveraging existing tools and frameworks. This approach not only speeds up development but also allows for more focus on the unique aspects of the product that differentiate it in the market.

I recently had an awesome discussion with Jeremy Miller, host of โBeyond UX Design,โ about strategies for navigating meetings and gaining influence as a designer.
We touched on:
* Why corporate meetings are mostly a waste of time, and how to fix your approach to meetings.
* Prioritizing which meetings to attend and gaining buy-in for design projects.
* I walk through my approach to working with cross-functional partners using an underrated methodology.
* Meeting one-on-one with key stakeholders early on to understand their concerns and bring them along on the design journey.
* Different working styles and mindsets, from perfectionistic craftspeople to systems thinkers who embrace problem-solving.
Building trust and credibility with stakeholders is crucial, and I highlighted the significance of making people feel understood and involved in the creative process.
I emphasized the importance of competencies like good judgment over specific skills when aiming for higher levels of influence.
Overall, the discussion provides excellent strategies for product people, designers, and creatives looking to protect their time, have a more significant impact, and shape company decisions.
