The YouTube channels look great! I’ve watched a few from The Futur and learned a lot. What’s your top pick from these channels?

I am a Design Sprint Guy so mostly I am consuming Workshops, Facilitation, and Pricing. The Futur is all about Pricing and Personal Branding so yeah..
How about you?
I Love the list you’ve shared! For books, I’m a big fan of Don’t Make Me Think, it’s such a classic. Do you have a favorite from this list?
@cathy_morino The Power of Moments is my favourite. The most mind blowing book I have read so far.
great list! I’d also add Design of Everyday Things by Don Norman to the book section and DesignBetter.co podcast for more insights.
@uthappa_robb Don Norman, the LEGEND. Of course.
DesignBetter.co is new to me 🤔
will surely try it
I love this compilation! For a fresh perspective, consider adding Radical Candor by Kim Scott to the book list and The Design of Business podcast. On YouTube, The SketchUp Essentials has some great tips.
@teekaram_teekaramyogi
Radical Candor is an amazing book. I lead a team of Designers and trust me, that's the only leadership book I have read so far (Leadership is an Art in waitlist).
Kim Scott's matrix of Candor, damn..
Also, thanks for adding to the list. Will surely check these out 🔥
I love this list! It’s great to see resources beyond the usual tools.
I’m particularly interested in Sprint and Hooked
I appreciate this discussion! While Figma is fantastic,
I’ve been diving into Don’t Make Me Think by Steve Krug lately such an eye-opener for usability. For podcasts, I enjoy Design Better for its practical tips. What’s your go-to resource?
@akute_mauton
Currently, it's Lenny's Podcast (not in the list)
But my favourite is the Jake & Jonathan show. These guys are like my favourite people.
I’ve been using Figma for a while, but it’s exciting to explore what else is out there
@grayson_lily A lot actually 😅
Figma as a tool is great. But it's a place where one should create digital versions of the ideas created in a more analog setting.
I'm not a anything near to design but I appreciate the list as I've been thinking to become jack of all trades. Thank you for the list!
@udaya_sri
I hope you have a great start 🔥
