599: Be Bold

January 15th, 2026

Chad and Will start the new year off right by discussing their aspirations for 2026.

Chad discusses this year’s theme for the company of being bold and how having a clear vision keeps thoughtbot on track, the pair discuss how they plan to rise up to the challenge of being bold in their work, and Will seeks some advice on a project he’s been looking to pursue.

Once you’re done with this week’s episode why not check out Chad’s podcast recommendation of Cortex, a show that explores how creative people think about their work.

You can find Chad all over social media as @cpytel. You can also connect with the duo via their LinkedIn pages - Chad - Will
