120: Getting the Right People in the Room with Tim Schuster of Popup Think Tank

Constant Variables takes a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to build and grow digital products. Focused on helping non-technical people become more comfortable with the nerdy jargon related to mobile software development, we break down technical topics to make them less complex and more accessible, because as Steve Jobs said, “Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use.”From project managers charged with managing a digital project, to app-based startups looking to scale, to organizations tackling digital transformation initiatives, we share our insights and regularly interview individuals who have "been there, done that" to leverage their expertise and learn from their mistakes.

Tim Bornholdt hands over hosting duty to Michael Roth, but not first without taking a trip down memory lane. Tim shares how Constant Variables and The Jed Mahonis Group are related, what his most memorable development project is, and what his first question is when approached about building an app, before signing off with an update on his passion project and Iowa-sized fitness goal.

Eric Caron

If the term “API,” has you uttering "Oofda", this episode is for you. Eric Caron, Senior Director of Digital Experience at Caribou Coffee, is back to talk nerdy with us about APIs. To get to the very core of what an API is, Eric uses examples of APIs we use daily (and probably never realized). He explains why APIs need good documentation, why an API should (and shouldn’t) be public, and why an API management solution should be utilized.

Constant Variables takes a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to build and grow digital products. Focused on helping non-technical people become more comfortable with the nerdy jargon related to mobile software development, we break down technical topics to make them less complex and more accessible, because as Steve Jobs said, “Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use.” From project managers charged with managing a digital project, to app-based startups looking to scale, to organizations tackling digital transformation initiatives, we share our insights and regularly interview individuals who have "been there, done that" to leverage their expertise and learn from their mistakes.
