Jeff Veen: How trust leads to innovation

In today’s episode, I speak with Jeff Veen. Jeff is a Design
Partner and Head of Platform at True Ventures, where he spends
his time helping founders create better products. He does this as
an advisor, as well, for companies like about.me, Medium, and
WordPress. Previously, Jeff was VP of Design at Adobe after they
acquired Typekit, the company he co-founded and ran as CEO.

Jeff was also one of the founding partners of the user experience
consulting group Adaptive Path. While there, he led Measure Map,
which was acquired by Google. During his time at Google, Jeff
designed Google Analytics and led the UX team for Google's apps.
Much earlier, Jeff was part of the founding web team at Wired
Magazine, where he helped build HotWired, Web Monkey, Wired News,
and many other sites. During that time, he authored two books:
HotWired Style and The Art and Science of Web Design.

We dive into ways in which trust is established at work and how
it’s necessary in order for people to be as creative – and
successful – as possible.
