<p><br /></p><p>In this episode, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kenya-kevin-williams/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Kevin Williams</a>, Vice President of Digital Products at <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/planned-parenthood-federation-of-america/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Planned Parenthood Federation of America</a>, sits with us to share insights into building digital products that prioritize impact over profit. He discusses the challenges of scaling mission-driven teams, designing for accessibility and leveraging technology to serve diverse user needs.</p><p><br /></p><p>We discuss:</p><p><br /></p><p>- Technology expands access to sexual and reproductive health.</p><p>- Mission-driven teams need both expertise and values alignment.</p><p>- Designing for vulnerable users benefits everyone.</p><p>- Innovation is about reducing friction and simplifying access.</p><p>- Success is measured by impact, not revenue.</p><p>- Trust comes from transparency and ethical data practices.</p><p>Kevin says, </p><p>“Innovation today is really about simplifying people’s lives. That’s where our team is right now because I think there’s a lot of chaos in digital, there’s a lot of noise in digital and some of that has come from innovation. So I think we need to dial it back a little bit and be innovative all around.” </p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Resources Mentioned</strong>:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kenya-kevin-williams/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Kevin Williams</a></p><p>https://www.linkedin.com/in/kenya-kevin-williams/</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/planned-parenthood-federation-of-america/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Planned Parenthood Federation of America</a> | LinkedIn</p><p>https://www.linkedin.com/company/planned-parenthood-federation-of-america/</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.plannedparenthood.org/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Planned Parenthood Federation of America</a> | Website</p><p>https://www.plannedparenthood.org/</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><strong>This episode is brought to you by Majestyk Apps.</strong></p><p><br /></p><p>We imagine, design and build digital products.
