Debbie Millman Instagram – Do you remember the first time you heard of a podcast or even listened to one?
For me, that was Design Matters by @debbiemillman. I can’t remember where or when it was, but it was instantly inspiring. The sheer volume of impactful, creative, and inspiring guests that she’s had on over the years has helped shape me as a person and my career on so many levels.
Fast-forward: @apalm86 and I got to attend the twenty-year anniversary of Design Matters in NY last night in an intimate setting with people who love and support Debbie and the show.
What an amazing experience. I’ve watched some of Debbie’s live interviews with people like @sethgodin and @stefansagmeister, but to see her and @roxanegay74 interview @suleikajaouad and Chelsea Clinton in person was on another level.
Also, the way Debbie and Maria Popova manipulated 20 years of transcripts into a beautiful spoken word from twenty past guests was so amazing. @timothygoodman spoken word was touching and hilarious at the same time, and my mind is still blown by @davidkwong magic.
I’m excited to continue to be inspired by Design Matters for the next twenty years.
Also, tacos with Ash at @taqueria86ny were some of the best we’ve had!
Finally, I love that Debbie closed the event with her episode closing statement, “And remember, we can talk about making a difference, we can make a difference, or we can do both.” | Posted on 18/Apr/2025 19:44:54
