Hello again dear listeners,

The launch of the podcast went fantastically well, we were both blown away by the support from our networks.

Episode #7 was with

.

Darshan is a product designer & maker of Product Disrupt, a frequent traveller, a remote worker, and photo enthusiast

With Darshan, we spoke about the importance of launching side projects and the fruits you can harvest from them. He shared the journey of his own side project, which has created some wonderful career opportunities for him since launch.

We also spoke about the issues with a ‘Silicon Valley mindset’ and what the negative global implications of focussing on one specific geographic area can have on the rest of the designers on the planet.

Where can you find Darshan?

Music round

Seeing as we’re called Noise, we thought we’d ask our guests about their music tastes. Darshan threw us a curve ball and suggested a series of podcasts instead:

Overtime
The Gently Mad
Invisible Office Hours
Feasting on Design
Bread Time
NTMY The Show
Startup Stories
Product Hunt Radio
Co1

And Creative Class by Paul Jarvis & Kaleigh Moore is my absolute favourite

Listen to Darshan’s episode here, and as always please share around your network and give us a rating if you’re enjoying the show.

Until next time,

The boys from Noise.

We’re active on Instagram and Twitter too, we’d love to have you on board.
