So we decided to do something crazy and try to build a group think deck live on a podcast to help jump start your own creative process.  Well, 2 hours later we had plenty of content... Figured we'd spare you on a super long pod so broke it into two.  In this first part we talk through Alex's early deck builds with his proxys and what has been woking for him so far.
