He encourages us to not just tell our story, but to find out our users’ story and craft our experience and technology around that. He also shares with us that the things we make are not who we are and to think deeply about what kind of world we want to make…because we’re the ones shaping it. </p></blockquote> <p> Josh Clark (“Dr. Touch”) is a designer specializing in mobile design, strategy and user experience especially as it relates to touch. He’s the founder of the powerful design laboratory Big Medium (formerly Global Moxie). He’s the author of five books including the O’Reilly published Tapworthy and the newly released A Book Apart published “<a href="https://abookapart.com/products/designing-for-touch" target="_blank">Designing for Touch</a>”. He’s also a prominent blogger and speaker, the creator of the popular Couch to 5K running program, and he happens to be Maine’s 11th strongest man. </p> <p><strong>LINKS</strong><br> <a href="https://bigmedium.com/" target="_blank">Josh’s Website</a><br> <a href="https://twitter.com/bigmediumjosh" target="_blank">Josh’s Twitter</a></p> <p>[RESOURCE] Spending time with people.<br> [BOOK] <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Enchanted-Objects-Innovation-Design-Technology/dp/1476725640/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1486063018&sr=1-1&keywords=enchanted+objects+david+rose" target="_blank">Enchanted Objects</a><br> [BOOK] <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Designing-Connected-Products-Consumer-Internet/dp/1449372562/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1486063051&sr=1-1&keywords=designing+connected+products" target="_blank">Designing Connected Products</a><br> [BOOK] <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Circle-Dave-Eggers/dp/0345807294/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1486063079&sr=1-1&keywords=the+circle" target="_blank">The Circle</a> </p> <hr> <p><strong>SUBSCRIBE</strong><br> <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/user-defenders-podcast-inspiring/id1055121160?mt=2&ls=1" target="_blank">Subscribe on iTunes</a> | <a href="http://www.subscribeonandroid.com/pcr.apple.com/id1055121160" target="_blank">Subscribe on Android</a> | <a href="https://play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/Ixoin7ctwvavboeov4fvuhm6v6a" target="_blank">Subscribe on Google Play</a> | <a href="http://userdefenders.com/?feed=podcast" target="_blank">RSS Feed</a> </p> <p><strong>SUPERPOWER OF SUPPORT</strong><br> Here’s your chance to use your superpower of support.
