Welcome back to UXPERTS, where we usually talk journey maps, leadership multipliers, and why users hate change... but this time? We're diving headfirst into the void. Join Jason Moore and Ephie Risho as they attempt (and fail) to decode ‘six seven’ – the meaningless Gen Alpha chant that's somehow Dictionary.com's 2025 Word of the Year. Is it a rating? A height flex? A police code? A cry for help? Spoiler: it's none of those, and that's the point. Expect hand gestures, dad jokes, viral TikTok lore, and a dig into the concept of trends. There are cultural trends, and there are trends within work and the tech industry. Some may stick around, and others are useless—maybe as much as six seven. Jason and Ephie navigate the space and dig into the most critical things to hold onto, no matter what the current trends are.

If you've ever had a kid scream this at you during dinner, this episode is your therapy. No user flows were harmed in the making of this chaos... probably. Subscribe, rate us a solid 6.7, and let's embrace the brain rot together.

AI is accelerating faster than any tool cycle we’ve seen before—and most UX teams are reacting the wrong way. In this episode, Ephie Risho and Jason Moore welcome special guest, Matthew Speakman to unpack why tool mastery is no longer a durable advantage, and what actually compounds over time: judgment, learning velocity, and problem framing.

We explore how UX leaders can adapt without burning out, how to evaluate new tools without chasing every shiny object, and why the best designers aren’t optimizing for workflows—they’re optimizing for decisions. If you’re feeling the pressure to “keep up” with AI, this episode reframes the game entirely.

You’ll learn:

• Why tools expire but capabilities compound

• How to build relevance in a world of constant automation

• What skills UX leaders should double down on in 2026 and beyond

• How to adapt without tying your identity to any single tool

UX leadership. Product strategy. Real business outcomes.
