Jim Remsik — founder of Flagrant, Madison Ruby and the traveling XO Ruby conferences — joins us for a wide-ranging conversation. The discussion starts with the ups and downs of running a design-and-dev agency in the AI era. Topics covered include:
\- Why design has started outselling development at Flagrant.
\- Why accessibility and UX are the parts people forget, and how Flagrant's hiring process mirrors real work to surface the thing that matters most: communication.
- Plus the story of XO Ruby — small, one-day, city-to-city conferences built to make community accessible again.
