Listen "1: Bad ideas (with Kyle Brastrom & Greg Sarafian)"

Episode Synopsis

The guests
Kyle Brastrom and Greg Sarafian are the co-founders & founding designer of dive.chat, a really cool spin on an events platform that is built on the top of chat. I think dive.chat is a cool product, but their design and UX is out of this world.
Kyle and Greg are experts at building really beautiful products and they deeply understand startup challenges in the consumer world.

The questions
[5:29] Taking the plunge: A young founder contemplates quitting their 9 to 5 and going all in on their idea.
[21:32] Bad design or bad idea: Is a startup's lack of traction because of bad UX or is it a fundamentally bad idea?
[39:46] UX designer turned UX destroyer: A once great UX designer struggles with their confidence after non-stop UX mistakes.

The show
DO AS I SAY is an advice show about the real problems in startups.
