Welcome to another round of Drawing

0:02

Board or Miro Board. Today we

0:04

talk brainstorms with UX designer Brian.

0:06

Let's go. First question. You thought

0:08

you'd see everyone's idea in the

0:10

team brainstorm, but you've got a

0:12

grand total of... one. Drawing

0:15

Board or Miro Board? Drawing Board, right? Because

0:17

in Miro, the team can add ideas now

0:19

or later. And with Privacy Mode, we can

0:22

keep them anonymous until they're good to share.

0:24

Correct. Next, you need the best

0:26

way to explain your idea, but all you

0:28

have is a few sticky notes. Drawing Board

0:30

or Miro Board? Drawing Board, because, you know,

0:33

in Miro, I could record videos, add text,

0:35

images, links, and digital sticky notes, of course,

0:37

present my thoughts the way I want. Right

0:39

again. Now, you're looking for a past idea

0:42

you thought was just genius. Only you could

0:44

find... Oh, there it is. Drawing

0:46

Board or Miro? All our finished and

0:48

unfinished work lives in one place. And

0:51

he's won. Join over 60 million

What does innovation sound like? It

1:02

sounds like the luxury of being in

1:04

the moment with your customer, client, or

1:06

patient. It sounds like having the

1:08

right information right when you need it. It

1:11

sounds like being at your best for your customers

1:13

and your business. Thanks to

1:15

Highland's intelligent content solutions that improve

1:17

digital processes, innovators everywhere

1:19

are able to do their thing better,

1:22

whatever that thing is. Now, who doesn't

1:24

like the sound of that? Highland,

Dave Moore on Today FM

1:33

podcast. Now, yesterday on the show, I was

1:35

lucky enough to have Picture This in to talk about

1:37

their brand new album, Part Car Conversations. A

1:39

great time chatting to the lads. While we were

1:41

chatting to the lads, there was a text

1:44

came in. Now, I didn't see it until a little bit later

1:46

on, but I was like, whoa, hold on to that now. Let's

1:48

talk to Shelley in the morning and

1:51

get to the bottom of her big plan. Shelley

1:53

Ngoi, how are you? Morning,

1:55

how are you getting on? Very well, yourself? Good

1:58

now, good. Did you enjoy the Picture This chat? yesterday.

2:01

Love this, love this. You're a big fan aren't you?

2:03

Yeah, yeah we are big fan so

2:05

trying to convince himself to go to

2:08

the show in June so... Yeah

2:10

so the show in June is what St. Anne's Park?

2:13

Yeah, in what? Yeah, what an amazing place

2:15

to play gig. I was there with Dick

2:17

Pierce and Block Rockabees last year playing on

2:19

stage and it is absolutely phenomenal so to

2:21

see a picture of this on that stage

2:24

is gonna be unreal and you said you're

2:26

trying to convince himself to go yeah? Yeah

2:29

so we are, uh, due our

2:31

first, uh, mid-June

2:33

so, uh,

2:36

I will be 37 weeks pregnant when the

2:38

show is on so, um, that's the

2:41

only hiccup. Yeah

2:46

I can understand his trepidation. I

2:49

applaud your bravery, you're just like, listen,

2:51

it's picture this in St. Anne's Park,

2:53

I'm going. Yeah, exactly, exactly.

2:55

So, um, I came up with

2:58

different solutions, I was like, we can have a

3:00

picnic blanket and I can face

3:02

down the floor the whole day or come

3:04

with a chair and... A chair might be an

3:06

idea if you're 37 weeks pregnant. Now

3:08

I'm not sure how much you'd see if

3:11

you had a chair. We could

3:13

be up the front or, you know,

3:15

after sorry, you know. Have you been doing a picture

3:17

of this gig up the front in the mosh pit?

3:19

A picture of this gig on a on a camp

3:21

chair 37 weeks pregnant. I'm not

3:24

all together sure that one's gonna work

3:26

out. No, no, but uh, I'm not sure

3:28

we can make it work. Oh look, I

3:30

would think making it work is the absolute solution

3:32

to this. Uh, I mean, you

3:34

know, is I presume his reluctance is

3:36

the fact that you could potentially, you

3:38

know, go into labour while you're

3:41

getting so excited about, you know, hearing new picture of this

3:43

songs live for the first time or something like that. Yeah,

3:46

probably that would be his uh,

3:48

worry. And obviously the dash would have to

3:50

be made because you're in Galway, so what maternity hospital are

3:52

you going to? We're going to

3:54

Galway. Right, Right.? So It's not like

3:56

you've planned this, where you're, you know, going to the Rotunda

3:58

or something like that. No. No. Credit

4:02

for time on usually doesn't go

4:04

on early. Santa lens with house

4:06

I draw ready to go. Every

4:08

same. Time as

4:11

often as the and seat sorry

4:13

what's his name? economy and more

4:15

human and sorry Far right. Okay

4:17

by so I can understand berries.

4:19

You know concerns because it is

4:21

the first and on your first

4:23

Sometimes. You. Know your extra costs A

4:25

certainly I would have been let me to

4:27

put paid to a degree of honor seconds.

4:30

4:32

my wife was. You are in late

4:34

6:07

with you. Yeah, no, that's

6:09

the time. So we'll see how it goes. Yeah,

6:12

Barry's probably the smart one in this relationship to be

6:14

honest with you. Well,

6:16

Shelly, I'll be there. I won't be 37 weeks pregnant, but

6:19

I'll hopefully see you there. Yeah, hopefully.

6:21

I'll let you know how I get on. You

6:23

too, Shelly, please do. Thanks a million for talking to

6:25

me this morning. See you later. Bye. Bye,

6:28

bye, bye. So many cutting and fine stories you can

6:30

let me know in 087 4100. They

6:32

don't have to be about pregnancy. Certainly you might

6:35

remember last year I went

6:37

to see Metallica in Hamburg and

6:39

in the middle, so Metallica played two gigs in

6:41

every city on their tour. The

6:43

ones in Hamburg were Friday and Sunday and it

6:46

happened that my son, Sam, they were just talking

6:48

about his Cup Final, the

6:50

under 11's Cup Final was on on the

6:52

Saturday. So I had to go

6:54

to the Metallica gig in Hamburg on the Friday

6:56

and then figure out how to get from Hamburg

6:59

to Dublin in time for like a

7:01

12 o'clock kickoff. Trust me, it

7:03

was not easy. The German efficiency without the window,

7:06

the flight from Hamburg to Munich that was supposed

7:08

to connect with the flight from Munich to Dublin

7:10

was delayed. German flights delayed.

7:15

I walked around the corner. Well,

7:17

you know me running. I

7:20

walked slightly faster than usual around the corner

7:22

onto the pitch as the rest blew his

7:24

whistle. We went 3-0 down. This

7:27

is great. It was 10 minutes to go on the

7:29

final. We went 3-0 down. Sam scored

7:31

a hat trick. We won 5-3. We were

7:33

the Hangargum champions. And then

7:35

went back to Metallica the next night to go out

7:37

and see the second night. So look, these skinnier things

7:39

happen. So if you have any stories about them, you

7:41

can let me know on 087 4100 102. You're

7:44

a giggoer. You've definitely cut things tight

7:46

before. I think the most stressful

7:49

one for me is that he works slash

7:51

gig. Oh yeah. Well, a couple of

7:53

years ago, my favorite bands in the entire world, LC

7:55

Soundsystem, are playing. They weren't doing any

7:57

Dublin dates. Oh. Only in

7:59

London. It's an ad do on the the have any

8:01

8:03

8:08

On the Saturday. Something. On Sunday and then

8:10

8:51

Bags everything packs of I didn't factor of

8:54

as a fight. The Guns and Roses are

8:56

playing a Marty Barks. I spent the entire

8:58

journey on a very hot summers. A classic

9:00

also. Quite high in the most of my before. And

9:02

then I literally. I dunno time I remember

9:05

I was running down the keys, easing a

9:07

rap. To get together and say

9:09

9:11

point you probably know I'm quite friend

9:13

9:18

Gall its beloved from of are you from

9:20

Diverse Susan's of Results or target of as

9:31

9:33

9:39

Sort of souls or twenty.

9:41

Eighteen. Ninety Eight Him as

9:43

a nice, a nineteenth sort of murmurings

9:46

hours or days ago. So many lives.

9:49

As old as you are one thirty seven weeks as well.

9:52

Yeah. I was I the that or seven

9:54

and a half or thirty six And right now

9:56

we're thirty seven vs. on are you in

9:58

the crowd bumpy road Are we off to the

10:00

side or did you get a seat? What did you do? In

10:04

the beginning I was kind of

10:07

midway, alright. I went with my

10:09

sister and brother and they minded

10:11

me very well. And then kind

10:13

of later on I kind of

10:15

sat on the hill then and

10:17

watched us sitting down. So

10:19

yeah. Probably smart and fair to see.

10:21

And yeah, no stirrings, everything was fine,

10:23

loud music didn't really do much to

10:26

the unborn at that point, no? No,

10:29

no. I mean she does like listening to

10:31

it now. Excellent.

10:33

That's good parenting right there.

10:36

Yeah, yeah. I had to get her introduced to

10:38

it nice and early. Brilliant. So is she

10:40

what, nearly five now? She's nearly

10:42

five now, yeah. What's her name?

10:44

Please tell me it's like James Hetfield or something. No.

10:50

That would be like a stranger now. No,

10:54

her name is Orla. Orla, alright, brilliant. Well

10:56

look, congratulations on Orla waiting,

10:59

being patient enough to wait and I'll

11:01

put Mami through some difficult slain birth.

11:03

That's fantastic. Yeah, exactly. So you

11:06

think Sherry should go though? I

11:08

do, I do, yeah. Because she's near

11:10

maternity hospitals there anyway so. Don't

11:13

say that, Barry doesn't want to know that. No,

11:17

I think she'd be fine. I know

11:20

it's the unknown when it's your first pregnancy.

11:23

But people are very good. They will mind her.

11:25

They will, they will. They will of course.

11:27

Will of course, yeah, absolutely. Alright, Marianne, thanks

11:29

for sharing that story. Big hi to Orla.

11:32

Thanks a million. Alright, see you later. Bye, bye.

11:35

Lots of your messages coming in on 087 for 100, 102. I

11:38

think Helen sums it up for a lot of people. Isn't that

11:40

right, Helen? Hi James. Helen Duff

11:43

in Trimshambo, lovely little trim

11:45

here. I don't know if

11:47

every house is the same, but we're up

11:49

from 6.30, 7 o'clock every morning. By

11:55

the skin of our teeth, make it to the school for

11:57

10 to 9. It's

11:59

always... a race to the finish line

12:01

here, the stress.

12:04

I hear you, it is absolutely. I see my

12:06

own kids going out in the ring doorbell every

12:08

morning and they're like, how can they be this

12:10

late for school? And they're being thrown their bags

12:12

after them and school bags and lunch

12:14

boxes and water bottles.

12:17

And they always managed to be late. Neil has been

12:19

onto us. Hi Dave, my daughter

12:21

was due on a Sunday and we

12:24

went to watch Leet's play in the

12:26

Leinster Final. Football, we wouldn't

12:28

be renowned for winning much. So when we got to the

12:30

Leinster Final, I couldn't miss the opportunity

12:32

to go and watch

12:35

it. Look, you didn't even tell me, did Leet win? Was

12:37

it worth college? You remember, did Leet win the

12:39

Leinster Final? You're not going to miss football. You

12:41

don't pay attention to it. My guess is that

12:44

they did. They did. He's guessing, absolutely guessing. Ashling

12:46

Maris and Carlos, how are you, Ashling? Hi

12:48

Dave, how are you? Go on, go on. Tell me about

12:50

cutting it fine. What was it? So

12:54

I was bright-minded. The youngest sister in our

12:56

family was getting married, 27th of May last

12:58

year, and I was bridesmaid for the day.

13:00

But I also had my son's first communion

13:02

on the very same day. What is

13:04

it about communions being unholy, landed

13:06

on things and other things happening?

13:09

I know, talk about totally disrupting everything

13:12

on his life. Yes. So

13:14

communion and the wedding, which was first

13:16

in the timetable of the

13:18

day? Well, priority wise, I'm

13:20

not sure we can work it, but the

13:23

communion was on first. The communion was at

13:25

12 o'clock in Leish, and then

13:27

the wedding was at 1 o'clock, half one maybe,

13:29

in Carlo. Oh my God, right. In

13:31

Carlo. So 40 minutes early between the two,

13:34

and at least a 40-45 minute ceremony between the

13:36

two as well. You'd be lucky if you were

13:38

getting away with a 45 minute communion here. The

13:42

fella in Port Martin, I could feel them, they could treat them

13:44

like, right, I'm going to shot now for about 90 minutes here,

13:46

lads. No, I had a word

13:48

with the priest and the principal. Let

13:50

them know. Yeah, they're going quick.

13:53

Okay, right. So what's your

13:55

son's name? My son is Oren. Oren,

13:57

right. So Oren's big day, and then what's your sister's

13:59

name? Roshin. Roshin, okay, so two

14:01

big days on the one day, right. So

14:03

you and Orin go along and how do

14:05

you sort out, because I mean the community

14:07

is all about hanging around and getting the

14:09

photos and chatting away to his mates and all.

14:12

What did you do there? So

14:14

what we had to do, I actually stayed in Carlo

14:16

the night before to do the whole hair and make

14:18

up and everything with Carlo in the morning. So I

14:21

legged it from there early in the morning.

14:23

You drove the 40 minutes back. Oh

14:25

yeah, yeah, drove back. Right,

14:27

right, go on. I don't do things by that. Oh,

14:30

you don't. So we drove back, collected him,

14:32

got to the church. Like we had to get

14:34

to the church earlier, had to text all the

14:36

mams to say please be there earlier because I

14:38

need to get a photograph with Orin and boys.

14:40

Smart lady. Oh yeah, like

14:42

a photographer running around pulling people out of seats going

14:44

can I have a quick picture, quick picture, quick

14:46

picture. Oh stop, it was manic. And

14:49

then his seat was literally finishing up. We

14:53

were like okay we have to go, we have to go. So

14:56

you got up and his legs are right.

14:58

Okay, so then you've got now, so this

15:00

is what did you say, 12 o'clock was

15:02

the communion. So this is about 12.45 or

15:04

so and then you've got to be at

15:06

the wedding in Carlo at 1.30. Yes,

15:09

yes, yes. Our only

15:11

saving grace is we're Mars and we're well

15:13

known for being late. So I'm quite banking

15:15

on that. So it's a

15:18

family trait. You're praying that Roshine is like

15:20

sitting around only getting her hair done at

15:22

about a quarter past four. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

15:24

I'm hoping for that. Yeah, and then well

15:26

everyone wants to know did you make it?

15:29

I did, we changed in the car by flying

15:31

down in the back of the car, took off

15:33

the dress, took off the communion, put on the

15:35

dress, put on the page by costume, the page

15:37

by suit. Oh my God. Yeah,

15:40

I think I actually flashed him with a lorry driver at

15:42

one stage behind me and I remember looking back and I

15:44

think I flashed him. Whatever

15:46

it takes. Orrin had a good day and

15:48

Roshine had a good day. Orrin made us,

15:50

you know, he went around with us. He put on the

15:53

badge after the wedding and he went around and put everyone

15:55

in the car. Oh, I've had a wedding so

15:57

the uncles and the brothers and the cousins are

15:59

full of money. Yeah and he knew as he had a

16:01

few drinks he went back to the same one two or three

16:03

times you know. If he has

16:05

a tie around his head he'll definitely give

16:07

you more money that's for sure. This is it.

16:32

to tell me a story about you cutting a

16:34

fine although I did appreciate that. That was pretty

16:36

amazing. Dave Moore on today

16:39

FM's podcast. Welcome

16:43

to another round of boardroom or

16:45

miro board. Today we

16:47

talk retrospectives with agile coach Maria. Let's go.

16:50

First question. You've spent two

16:52

hours in a team retro but the only

16:54

input you've heard is Dave's. Boardroom or miro

16:56

board? Boardroom. In miro

16:59

Dave can't have the space because everyone can

17:01

add thoughts anonymously online at the same time.

17:03

Correct. Now

17:06

you need the team to act on feedback fast

17:08

so you turn all those retro notes into JIRA

17:10

tasks instantly. Miro all the way and I can

17:12

assign those tasks to teammates. You're

17:15

nailing this. Now

17:18

you see hundreds of sticky notes from the retro.

17:20

A real mess. But

17:23

you organize them into five themes in just seconds. Miro

17:26

I basically get back an entire hour when I use

17:28

its AI tools for clustering. And she's got it. Join

17:32

over 60 million people running actually

17:35
