24 Minutes of UX
24 Minutes of UX is a podcast of the people, by the people, for the people. The format is a combination of an after-work discussion, a 1-on-1 chat, a global community platform, and a coaching session. Episodes typically feature a Seeker and a Giver. The Seeker is a person seeking advice on a specific topic within the domain of UX. The Giver is here for sharing experiences about “what I wish I had known when I started with this topic”. Both the Seeker and the Giver can be senior or junior - we all learn all the time. Topics can be Measurement, Personas, DesignOps, Stakeholder Management, Design Leadership, Agile, Hiring, Forms, Research, Tools. You name it. The podcast is a global, grassroots, community-driven initiative and we welcome your participation. You can sign up at 24minutesofux.com to be a Seeker or a Giver - we will do our best to match you with someone interested in your topic. 24 Minutes of UX is the brainchild of Jesse Anton and Peter Horvath, creators of the 24 Hours of UX event series. Jesse and Peter are your hosts as we strive to create tighter links between people in the UX diaspora, enabling us all to become better UXers in the process. There are plenty of people in the trenches of UX with something to say, and this podcast is an open forum where diverse and fresh voices can be heard. Thanks for subscribing, and we look forward to welcoming you on the air one day. Until then, Keep Calm and UX On!

Breaking into UX with Andrew Astleford and Matthew Bradley - part 2
Here's part 2 of our two-part episode on the topic of breaking into the field of UX. The truth is, most of us have come to the UX field by way of other career paths. Jesse was once a product manager, and Peter worked in marketing. Others have arrived via the paths of psychology, anthropology, market research, and even library sciences. The truth is that you don’t need to be a graphic designer or a human computer interface specialist to work in UX. So can you start your career working in bars and at ski shops and still become a UXer? Find out in this two-part episode featuring our seeker, Matthew Bradley, and our giver, Andrew Astleford. Matthew works as a digital transformation and design thinking coach for a large FMCG company based in Switzerland. Andrew hails from Atlanta, Georgia, where he works as a UX writer for a SaaS company.
