Obsidian

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) on /obsidian's small team, user-supported, no-investor structure: 

"I just like the Ocean's Eleven model the best."

Steph reflects on different ways to build companies and how in today's world, you can build something quite ambitious with a small group:

 "In the previous company that I ran, whenever we had a problem, it was like, 'Who can we hire who is an expert on this problem?'  We'd go find the best person, hire them, and then empower them to solve this problem.

Now, if we have this problem, hiring is off the table. We basically don't hire. We have seven people full-time. We probably have three or four million users, and we're seven people. That's pretty crazy. It's definitely possible to do something like that."
