A Source Of Inspiration
I’ve been listening to Paul since I was in my 20’s. Now approaching my mid 30’s, I consider the resources they have set up to be a source of inspiration and guidance for many. I’ve purchased commercial works of Paul over the years and am a regular in the shows slack channel, occasionally visit the podcast live and try to listen as often as possible. Paul has done great work and helped a great many people. For that I think all that know Paul, including me are grateful for them.
Fun and Inspirational
This podcast for designers, developers and web site owners has just the right balance between expert advice and entertainment. It has an informal approach that feels more like a very interesting pub conversation. At the same time it’s damn useful and has influenced the way we all work.

Anyone who designs and develops for a living must listen to these podcasts. Paul’s enthusiasm for the web shines through and will give you plenty of solid tips that you probably never knew existed! Invaluable advice.

Looking for something different?
Digital Insights is not for everybody.
Listening to some guy reading his blog posts might seem a little lifeless to you. Where is the conversation and banter?
If that sounds like you, check out these other two podcasts I release regularly.
Boagworld Show
Probably the first web design podcast in the world, started back in 2005. This talk show format is entertaining and educational. Although, we stopped recording the show for many years, it is now back and better than ever!
One Footer
In One Footer in the Grave, myself and three other aging web designers meet at our retirement home. This fun and frivolous show is the perfect distraction from the challenges of work.

Actionable Insights
Paul has the ability to see what is hiding in plain sight. He validated ideas under consideration and provided new, actionable recommendations. The most valuable insight was illustrating how our issues were symptoms of an inefficient UX project team structure.
Genuinely brilliant
Paul is genuinely brilliant to work with. He’s funny, thoughtful, and really good at meeting you where you are. He matches my energy, communicates clearly, and always seems to know how to say the right thing. Working with him feels easy, constructive, and properly enjoyable.
Demonstrates his prowess
As we talk, a pronounced pattern in Boag’s patter becomes apparent: he enthuses about a topic, demonstrates his prowess and then knocks himself down with a swipe of self-deprecation.
Smart & Generous
Paul is one of the smartest, most passionate, most generous people I know in the web / online industry. He is truly committed to helping organizations become simpler and more customer-centric.
An inspiration
Paul is an inspiration, I only wish I’d worked with him earlier in my career. His ability to understand and break down problems and offer advice, drawing on his many years of experience is unrivalled. He genuinely wants to get the best out of you and your organisation and you can’t ask for more than that.
Invaluable
Medecins San Frontieres, being a decentralised international association, faces challenges in meeting the needs of a diverse global audience. Paul and the team at Headscape have been invaluable in helping us see the potential of digital for doing this. They have helped us recognize the changes needed to engage with our connected audiences, bringing clarity and innovation to our digital strategy.
Supportive and Challenging
It’s been a pleasure working with Paul. He manages to be both supportive and challenging at the same time and has a very accessible approach. It’s been a really inspiring process and I would love the opportunity to work with him again.
Entertainingly Informative
We can count on Paul to be entertainingly informative. When we bring him to speak at our workshops, people walk out of the session energized and with a better understanding of how a multichannel journey should be assessed and optimized. Thanks Paul!
Best investment
You’re the best investment I’ve made thus far in my business, and that includes a previous coach, paid mentors and many courses! Your expertise is absolutely invaluable. Thank you!
Moves the Needle
It’s not a question of whether I’d work with Paul again, but what we’re doing next. He takes the time to deeply understand your business and goals, then moves the needle across the growth levers that matter most.
