Special: Superhuman Part II - Designing Software to Feel like a Game (with Rahul Vohra)

Superstar past guest and Superhuman CEO Rahul Vorha joins us for
a deep dive on how Superhuman applies concepts from game design
to building productivity software. We're not talking points and
badges — we mean hardcore, Unreal Engine-style technical
innovations and Fortnite-level understanding of fun and mastery.
It's a topic where Rahul has serious cred: before Superhuman and
Rapportive, he worked as a game designer on RuneScape, the
pioneering browser-based MMORPG. This is a topic every founder,
engineer, product and even sales person should listen to. Tune
in!
