We dedicated this episode to reflect on the future of live commerce and the impact that will have on social media platforms such as #instagram #facebook and #tiktok. Why do we think it failed in the Western world today? The companies that are likely to be the winners in this space. And finally, how companies like #amazon are using design techiques to test the next iteration of live commerce.

It's been a while since you last heard from us, but we've been busy recording future episodes. And in fact, today, we share our 10th episode. What a milestone.

And could be more relevant than talking about something that, now more than ever, is extremely important. Leadership. And for this episode, we decided to focus on a leader whom we have talked about before. Elon Musk. At the time of the recording, the original objective was to share our thoughts on him and other leaders like him, hard-line position on remote or hybrid work. But given recent controversies all over the media around his posture towards Twitter's employees post-acquisition, we think it makes this episode even more relevant.

Some other things we talked about include:

 People-focused leadership is what we need, particularly in a world post COVID-19 that took a toll on the mental health of so many of us.
 The essential elements of Leadership
 Why building a workstyle culture that is flexible and responsive to employees' needs is important and necessary.

We hope you like the episode, and as always, your feedback matters to us. 

In this episode of  @Design WakeUp, Simon Ker and Sam Osys talk about Adobe's recent acquisition of Figma. Some people are excited about the possibilities of what Adobe could do with Figma, while others are worried about what this could mean for the future of design tools.

Listen to this episode to find out why we think this shouldn't really matter.
