#02. Ten O'Clock Tuesday. I Gave Myself a New Title: Human.

Marco de Mel Pedersen sits down for the second live episode of Ten O'Clock Tuesdays -- a weekly live from Montclair, New Jersey, where he reflects on design, business, and what it means to be human in 2026. This week: why he changed his LinkedIn title to just "human," his growing skepticism about AI, why he's leaving Upwork after ten years, and what a power outage taught him about presence. Also, the iPhone that arrived a day early and still disappointed him. You'll get it when you hear it. Ten O'Clock Tuesdays is a new weekly live segment, raw, unscripted, and real. Join Marco every Tuesday at 10am ET. Design for Humans is hosted by Marco de Mel Pedersen of Studio de Mel, a visual identity and environmental design studio based in Montclair, New Jersey.
