EPISODE 264
Good design can make anything better
Bracken Darrell led remarkable turnarounds at both Old Spice and Logitech. Now he’s the CEO of VF Corporation, where he’s working to revitalize iconic brands like The North Face, Timberland, Vans, and more.

You’ll also learn:
- The weird way he keeps a fresh outlook on his job
- The power of design, even outside of product development
- Why you’re an artist whether you realize it or not (and why that matters)
- One thing every great brand has in common
