Looking for more after last week's episode with Nick Daniel? We're back with four more questions with the Etsy CPO.

In 2005, Etsy staked its claim on a unique piece of the e-commerce landscape– arts and crafts. The site has since become the go to place for one of a kind handcrafted goods. Etsy’s approach has focused on building community amongst their sellers and today’s guest is breaking down how they balance those needs with that of their buyers. Nick Daniel is the Chief Product Officer of Etsy. He sits down with Tomer to discuss how the platform differentiated itself from other marketplaces early on, and what it takes to foster a creative community that feels empowered to make original products.

Since 1982, Adobe has been empowering the world of design. The company tools transformed the way graphic designers, editors, and creators do their jobs. Today’s guest, Scott Belsky, allowed these creatives to share their work seamlessly with Behance, the largest portfolio platform in the world. Adobe acquired Behance in 2012 and Scott became their Chief Product Officer a few years later. While at Adobe, he has brought apps we know and love to web and mobile, like Photoshop and Adobe Reader, while also evolving Adobe’s 3D product landscape. He joins Tomer today to share what inspires innovation, how he leads his team, and the importance of first impressions in design.
