@AshaKayB This is seriously happening?

Pay attention to the emails you receive before clicking links. Your emails and phone numbers have probably been leaked.. so anyone can look up your cell provider and target you. A quick zoom in (fuzzy) and TLS check told me this was fake, but it made it through Google servers.

A couple of notes:

If you get a call for an interview it's okay to ask what'll be discussed during the process.

You can ask what platforms the teams work with & what they've recently built.

Ask what tools, software, or coding languages you are expected to know/use in 30 days.

I just released the second edition of my Pricing Design book—for free!

The details and the backstory:

In 2014, I talked with my friend and mentor @jasonsantamaria about an idea I had for a book about pricing for designers. Two years, a proposal, a bunch of manuscripts and edits later, I published my first book, an @abookapart Brief called Pricing Design.

In March of 2024, A Book Apart closed their doors and gave authors back the rights to their books, along with a few conditions for authors that wanted to continue to distribute their books. Around that time, amidst some of the worst mass layoffs the tech industry has seen in a long while, I started to get increasingly more requests for my now unavailable book, presumably as more designers were looking to turn to taking their financial livelihoods into their own hands.

So, I decided to release a second edition.

The easiest way to read it is for free on the new Pricing Design website. If you’d like a PDF of it, you can request a free PDF to be emailed to you directly on the site. The printed paperback, Kindle/e-reader, and audiobook versions are all in the works and soon-to-be-released in the next couple of weeks, and you can sign up on the website to be notified once they’re out.

Also, it’s been almost 9 years since I wrote the book, so there’s a ton more I’ve learned about pricing that I want to share! If you request the free PDF, you’ll also have the ability to opt into a very actionable mini-lesson where I tell you exactly how to value price your first prospect, step-by-step.

The website and book design are all the brainchild of @jonasleupe, one of the people I’ve been working with over the last few months in my quest to find a designer who can ship. Jonas is kind, humble, and incredibly talented. I’ve really enjoyed our collaboration so far. (I’ll tell you more about Jonas and share more about the behind-the-scenes of hiring in a future post.)

If you’re thinking about making the leap to freelancing or need some new ways to level up in your design business, check out the new edition of Pricing Design: https://t.co/QJyzmG7dHb

On the CA fires, and ***REBUILDING***

I'm not a Blue Check but hopefully this post will be amplified by others with more reach.
The screenshots I'm sharing are from a former boss and friend of mine whose home was lost to a fire a few years ago.
He's giving great advice:

You know how people become running experts? They run. They read about running. They write about running. They plan to run. You can become an expert in anything if you invest the time and energy into planning AND execution.

I was asked on BBC News about the top ethical issues for 2025, and what to be worried about.
If I had to choose one of each, unique for 2025:
What's the ethical Issue? ➡️ Data consent
What to be 'worried about'? ➡️ Voice cloning.
