112 | App Icon Design with Michael Flarup

Episode 112

Monday, January 8, 2024 • Duration 55:18

In this episode, Luigi and Ravi speak with Michael Flarup, icon designer, game developer, and fascinating creator. Michael discusses the significant yet often overlooked role of app icons in our lives, particularly their impact on our interaction with technology. Michael has dedicated a big part of his career to making some of the most ‘iconic’ app icons, which lead him to author the iOS and macOS App Icon books (you can find them below).

Throughout the episode, they explore the intersection of art and utility in app icon design. Michael shares why he dedicated his career to this space, providing insights into his creative process and when it is time to rethink your app icon. The app icon is the user's first interaction with a product, making it a great opportunity to enhance the user’s connection with your product.

Finally, they discuss Michael’s ventures beyond digital design and his experience in making video games, including insights from his upcoming title "Dinolords".

103 | Have a Coffee Break: Uncovering Blank Street Coffee

Episode 103

Monday, September 4, 2023 • Duration 39:13

In this episode, Luigi and Ravi literally go into Blank Street Coffee, a coffee company that's been making waves in the industry. From their remarkable financial achievements to their innovative approach to coffee-making, Blank Street Coffee is redefining the way we enjoy our daily caffeine mix.

Blank Street Coffee made headlines last year when they secured an astonishing $67 million in funding from high-profile venture capital funds like General Catalyst and Tiger Global, as well as the founders of Allbirds and Warby Parker, and even the real estate giant Tishman Speyer. Learn how these investments have fueled their rapid expansion, with an incredible 60 shops sprouting around the world in just two years.

Luigi and Ravi discuss the purpose of ‘another’ coffee shop. Their mission is simple: serving a clean, natural, and high-quality menu to customers at affordable prices. At Blank Street, a 16-ounce iced latte priced at $4.25, competes with giants like Dunkin' ($3.75) and Starbucks ($5.50). As one co-founder puts it, they aim to be the go-to place for that "our goal is not to make the best coffee, we just make a really good cup of coffee that you drink twice a day, every day."

Lastly, they delve into the world of Eversys, the company behind the cutting-edge coffee machines that power Blank Street Coffee's success. Discover the partnership between Eversys and the De'Longhi Group, as well as their mission to elevate the role of the barista and let human skills flourish in coffee-making.

Trailer | 'We speak to you!'

Monday, June 15, 2020 • Duration 01:37

My name is Luigi, and mine is Ravi.

We speak to the makers, originators, creators, founders, innovators, doers and can-doers.

The ones who think differently,

you, the ones building our future.

We record our journey as we explore our complex world.

Where the harmony of music is matched by the cacophony of war,

where the connection of individuals means the disconnection of societies,

where time is relative for some and absolute for others.

The past is gone, a relic from which we can learn.

Our journey is a short one, and all that matters is what we do before we reach our destination.

We have taken small steps for man, but must create leaps for humankind.

Our past was built by them,

our present is defined by them,

our future will be designed by us.
