019: "What if..." with Frank Grubich (part 2)

Bringing you part 2 of my conversation with mentor and creative juggernaut, Frank Grubich. If you haven't listened to Part 1, definitely go check that out first.
In this lively conversation, we chat about how walking your dog leads to deeper insights, the challenges designers face in being valued and how we all need to continue to push boundaries by taking risks and continuously asking questions.

We get into managing change throughout the conversation, including showing clients options and we discuss Frank's approach to nurturing the design team that I worked on years ago.
I'm grateful for the time Frank has given to the podcast and I hope you find our conversation both entertaining and meaningful.
