Dan Blumberg (00:02):
Craft, attention to detail, artistry, constant iteration. It's what separates great products from the rest. On Crafted, we're speaking to engineers, designers, and product people of all stripes to explore the art of craft.

Andres Glusman (00:22):
The reason why 80% of experiments fail, in our opinion, is because everyone is learning in a vacuum. No one is learning from anyone else. Everyone is repeating the exact same mistakes.

Chris Ladd (00:33):
Somebody needs to call me monthly and just tell me, features will not save you. Are you making something that is solving a real problem for people? Are you telling them that it exists?

Yemi Adewunmi (00:41):
The vision is that you are doing good because you are building technology, a tool that helps people do good as well.

Johnny Ray Austin (00:49):
Reading feedback and people thanking us because they didn't have to decide between paying rent and feeding their kids that month. That's just something you don't get everywhere.

Dan Blumberg (00:58):
On this podcast, we'll hear from makers and we'll get into the weeds to understand how they shipped great products. What trade-offs did they have to make? What experiments did they run? And what was the moment when they knew, when they just knew, that they were onto something. At Artium, my colleagues and I help companies build fantastic software and dynamic teams. We artisans love partnering with creative people to build their visions of the future. I'm your host, Dan Blumberg. I've founded startups and shaped products at companies such as the New York Times and LinkedIn. I'm also a former public radio host and producer. It's nice to be back behind a microphone again and we're excited for you to join us on this ride. So subscribe to Crafted, a show about great products and the people who make them.
