ITT 224: The Intersection of Design, Entrepreneurship, and Hustle with Daniel Scrivner

 

Daniel Scrivner is the CEO of Flow, which is a project management software. Previously he was the Head of Design at Digit and Square. He's worked for some of the most respected brands in the world including Apple, Nike, Disney, and Target.

 

In today’s broadcast, Daniel and I discuss how someone who worked at Apple and Square was able to take his accrued knowledge into different spaces and into his own company. We dive into many topics ranging from design to creative thinking in general.  

 

In this broadcast, Daniel and I talk about:

 

• The thing that sparked Daniel’s love for design
• Daniel’s take on the idea of a “silver bullet” to success
• Why you need to put in reps to establish soft skills of business and design
• How Daniel navigated unexpected career paths and the fear of failure
• The simple reason why Daniel feels uncomfortable when comfortable
• How Daniel still uses insights he gained from working at Apple and Square in his business
• Daniel’s creative process of “wide-open exploration” when starting a project
• The importance of separating user feedback from the creative process
