258: A Foot in the Door

Brian Lovin, Marshall Bock
About this episode

This week, we debut the new show format! First, Marshall formally introduces himself, and we answer a listener's question about how to get their foot in the UX door. Then we cover a few headlines, fight about stock vs. third-party apps, and share a couple cool things. If you have any feedback on the new format, hit us up on Twitter, because we'd love to hear it :)
