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.
