Raul interviews Brent Feldman, the CEO of Matchbox Design Group. Brent discusses the importance of having both specialists and generalists in a team. He cites the value of lateral thinking in solving complex problems and highlights his preference for a general approach due to the wider lens it provides. He also references NASA’s program of posting long-standing unanswered questions to the public, which often yielded answers from people outside the science field.
Who’s The Guest? Brent founded the digital agency Matchbox Design Group in 2006 with a business partner. The focus of Matchbox is to make the web better – more performant, more accessible because the web is meant for everyone. He’s also the host of the marketing podcast, Mix & Matchbox as well as the host of a podcast with his kids called the Weird Snack Show.
