It’s Just a Model is a biweekly conversation with Ron and Peet on the interstitium between innovation, tech, design and our human behaviour.
Your hosts are Ron Kersic, and Peet Sneekes.
In this podcast we’ll be talking about the good, the bad and the interesting, all wrapped into a informal, unscripted conversation.
