Chris's use of the phrase "So what I'm hearing from you is," followed by a paraphrase of his understanding of Jose's comments, needs to be explicitly appreciated. That phrase (and those like it) have solved most of my miscommunication problems in all areas of business. I love your videos.
Warren Hull thanks for pointing it out. By repeating back what you heard and summarizing you confirm that you are listening and validate the other person. I learned this from my therapist.
Great video you guys! As a product designer working in Silicon Valley for start-ups, I can say your insights were on-point. I love what you are doing, a great resource for the upcoming generation!
Wow! This was recorded like in 2015s and its still lot informative and fun to watch. I followed the whole "The Process" series and it was great for someone like me who is deciding to transition from being a frontend developer to become a Product Manager or a higher role. Thank you very much guys, learning is much more immersive experience with this duo!
I've been watching this channel for quite some time now. Great content and really enjoying it. Awesome to see how your live shows have adapted over time and improved. Really looking forward to the next episode with the suggested question at the end. Lifestyle business vs start-up vs enterprise - Sounds like a really interesting topic!
***** that is the question. I'm always asking my audience for questions as well. My one question would be "What are some strategies for branding on social media?"
Hey Chris Do, I consult with a lot of my clients about the importance of having a strong digital footprint. I would love to hear your guy's views on how to differentiate yourself against all the noise on social media. BTW I would have signed up for CORE but my wife and I just had our second baby so the timing was bad for me.... Maybe next time ;-)
Chris Do send me the details... ap@aaronpierson.com I also would love to chat with you guys sometime about your model. I have a digital products that are crushing it online and I see what you guys are starting to build. Huge potential!!! I've work with people like John Lee Dumas of EntrepreneurOnFire Jaime Tardy LifeOnFireTV Joshua Smith just to name a few ;-) Shoot me an email and lets chat.
Love what you all are doing. My ONE thing I wish I could fix in most your videos is the loud WOOS after titles. I have to pause and alter sound every time. Kills the eager-listening vibes and rattles the headphones enough to turn curious heads.
You're Welcome! Here's my question though. As you know that startups in pre-funding stage almost never have any money. They do realise the importance of good design but they can't pay. How do you tackle this? One way I could think of is to take an equity in the startup, but you can't do that for every project. What has worked for you so far in this regards?
***** I believe the first search I did was "Branding Design". I watched the show on Identity Design on my lunch break, then day by day watched video after video. Their are very few shows that broadcast the way you all do. There are still videos that I'm in the process (no pun intended) of watching from the much earlier stages of the channel.
Great content once again guys. Yes it would be awesome if you made review on The Lean Startup. I bought it a few weeks ago along with Tim Brown s design thinking. I still havent started reading it cause im afraid it might be a bit too "businessy" for a me as a graphic designer.
+Jose Caballer thanks for responding and sorry for the delay. No, Design thinking uses a language very familiar to me. THe lean startup SEEMS a bit different. I guess id just like to see a breakdown from you guys to get the whole picture as i go through it.
Thanks for the video guys! If anyone is looking for ideas to get yourself out there, try attending your local chamber of commerce events. Some have networking events 'designed' for this kind of stuff. Hope that helps.
Hey guys! So at 00:13:20 Jose Caballer displays User Onboarding Prompts in the Hunuku example. These are guides to educate the user on how to properly use the website or mobile application. It could also contribute to a higher customer retention rate. The bottom line... the easier it is for the user to understand how to fully utilize your app, the better the experience, usually resulting in positive word of mouth about your product. Great video guys! check out some of my work at behance.net/cmisspena or follow me on twitter @cmisspena
***** 192 views. No negative comments. No thumbs down. I think we are starting to get the hang of this. Thoughts? Are we doing a good job of listening and incorporating your feedback into the show? Tell us what's working and what could be better. Thanks!
Chris Do I think this last year you've created a type of "audience filter" and now aligned yourselves with a particular niche that truly values your content. IMO, you've done this via the depth and breadth of your topics. Designers looking for "tutorials" will complain and exit, whilst design entrepreneurs will continue to be attracted and engage. You guys are doing a great work! :)
Chris Do ***** Do you mind reading your facebook please? I sent you a message but its in the others' folder. It'll be really helpful for me. Thankyou for the awesome vids
How about a conversation on qualifying startups? I work in a growing tech center with three startup incubator programs, but most of the startups just don't have very much money.
Thnks guys . . . watching now. This one was kind of difficult to see the light, ha?! . . . .Those are the best!! Ha ha ha. How to Design for Startups- How to Design for Startups
The problem of working with startups is that they are like soap bubbles. You can't be sure that they will be around when until the work is done. They can go bankrupt. Since you don't know their finances, you need to make sure you get your money when the work is done. The company may be gone in a few weeks/months, and you can't get anything since the owners are liablaty is limited (that's what LLC for in US). Be sure that to get prepaid as much as possible, or get personal contract instead of the company. You don't need to share the high risks they are taking to get rich, because you don't get to share the profit when the business booms.
Chris's use of the phrase "So what I'm hearing from you is," followed by a paraphrase of his understanding of Jose's comments, needs to be explicitly appreciated. That phrase (and those like it) have solved most of my miscommunication problems in all areas of business. I love your videos.

The Futur Everyone should have a therapist. Makes you whole.
Great video you guys! As a product designer working in Silicon Valley for start-ups, I can say your insights were on-point.
I love what you are doing, a great resource for the upcoming generation!
Not really. What would be an example of the struggle you have in mind? Maybe I'm misunderstanding the question.
2020 in between quarantine and still very relevant content!
Wow! This was recorded like in 2015s and its still lot informative and fun to watch.

Great insights ! Watching for the first time in Quarantine20 and very thankful you guys were providing this kind of value for so long!!
Welcome to the Futur

Really looking forward to the next episode with the suggested question at the end. Lifestyle business vs start-up vs enterprise - Sounds like a really interesting topic!
Really happy to hear that you are getting value out of the videos. Thanks for your support.
Jose Caballer shares with Chris how to design for startups. From what is a startup, what type of startups are out there to how to help each type.
I love that music at the end. Jose, you crack me up ("I'm just throwing air." lol) I love you guys!
thanks
Hey guys, love the vids. Gracias Jose and Chris. Im attending to my first Startup Meetup tomorrow here in Dallas TX.
***** Pretty good actually. Ill keep going to as many as I can as well as watching your vids. Lots of learning... Gracias hermano.
Another killer video. You guys keep crushing it!
***** that is the question. I'm always asking my audience for questions as well. My one question would be "What are some strategies for branding on social media?"
What aspect of branding for social are you referring to? Do you mean how to use social to brand yourself, content marketing,
Etc..?

Great Video, As Always! Thanks for the great info. i'm starting to think of having my own startup someday.
Wajahat Anwar good luck.
Great episode
These are great, especially for someone like me who is learning the field. Thank you!!
Excellent
Love what you all are doing. My ONE thing I wish I could fix in most your videos is the loud WOOS after titles. I have to pause and alter sound every time. Kills the eager-listening vibes and rattles the headphones enough to turn curious heads.
Super informative, thanks for another great session.
thanks Aman!

How do you tackle this? One way I could think of is to take an equity in the startup, but you can't do that for every project. What has worked for you so far in this regards?
+Aman Thind I totally agree. That's why I typically don't work with startups pre-funding. Jose has a different take on this so I'll let him chime in.
Any comments from Jose on this? Startups is a big market and if one can find the trick to balance the risks, it might all be worth it.
Hi, great question Aman, have you had a response to this. Please share.
Awesome show and great ending music.
I found about The Skool firstly through a search about 3 months ago and I have been watching ever since.

Great video , very informative! Keep up the good job! Oh! and Chris I think you need a drop shadow effect for this background and lights :P >:)
Out of nowhere
What's that track at the credits? Aah! just loved it...

Devin Chaves yes it is👌👌

We're attending at a Startup Grind meetup this Wednesday, March 29.

Then what do you call companies that are brand new? Clearly the term "Startup" is not the right word.
