Dialectic with Jackson Dahl

/dialectic w/ Steph Ango (@kepano) is out now.

Steph is a designer, artist, entrepreneur, toolmaker, and CEO of 
/obsidian, the tool I use to write, think, and store my ideas.

This is a must-listen for any designer or creative person. We discuss constraints, style, principles, reduction, digital durability, investing time, choosing what to work on, compounding, patience, and communicating your ideas.

Steph has worked across mediums: hardware, software, industrial design, packaging, open-source, content, instruments, and more. He's a toolmaker first and foremost, and we talk about how creative constraints enable us to stoke the flame inside us.

Steph is a prolific writer whose clarity and concision inspire me, and we discuss many of his most empowering ideas.

I believe these ideas will challenge you in unexpected ways and push you to be more creative, agentic, and optimistic.

Steph Ango (@kepano)'s 'Stadium of selves':

"Let's say you live 80 years, and each new day is one person, it would fill up a stadium. 60K days in that stadium represent 60K people. And so, your current self—today's self— is on stage.

You're in the middle of the stadium and all of your past and future selves are sitting in the audience.

Anything I've ever really tried to create was for a version of myself."
