User Defenders: Podcast is an industry leading/celebrated UX podcast consistently in the top 3 iTunes search results for UX and UX Design. I created this love-brand from nothing and brought together a thriving community of thousands of passionate UX'ers entirely from scratch. I'm also proud to say that since its inception in 2015, growth has been entirely organic as I've yet to pay for one ad. At the time of this writing, the show is garnering 30,000 downloads/mo (and counting) and has attracted industry legends Seth Godin, Nir Eyal, Jeffrey Zeldman, Laura Klein, Alan Cooper and Denise Jacobs as guests. I've been invited twice to record a live episode from the stage of my favorite design conference An Event Apart (founded by Jeffrey Zeldman + Eric Meyer), and have had industry heavyweights like Adobe, InVision and UserTesting.com believe enough in what I'm doing to exclusively sponsor entire seasons of the show.
