HubUx is a productivity tool for qualitative research. It creates a seamless workflow across your tools and team. Originally, came up with the idea as I was listening to research professionals in both the quant and qual space complain about and articulate the pain, I guess more succinctly, around managing qualitative research. The one big problem with qualitative is it’s synchronous in nature, and it requires 100% of the attention of the respondent. This creates a big barrier, and, I believe, a tremendous opportunity inside of the marketplace.

This episode is brought to you by HubUx. HubUx is a productivity tool for qualitative research. It creates a seamless workflow across your tools and team. Originally, came up with the idea as I was listening to research professionals in both the quant and qual space complain about and articulate the pain, I guess more succinctly, around managing qualitative research. The one big problem with qualitative is it’s synchronous in nature, and it requires 100% of the attention of the respondent. This creates a big barrier, and, I believe, a tremendous opportunity inside of the marketplace. So what we do is we take the tools that you use; we integrate them into a work flow so that, ultimately, you enter in your project details, that is, who it is that you want to talk to, when you want to talk to them, whether it’s a focus group, in-person, or virtual or IDI’s or ethnos; and we connect you to those right people in the times that you want to have those conversations or connections – Push-Button Qualitative Insights, HubUx. If you have any questions, reach out to me directly. I would appreciate it. Jamin@HubUx.com

You are an industry sage is how I would cast you, right? Anytime I see you pop up on my LinkedIn feed, I always click on it, read it, whatever, digest it. And you're prolific in terms of your visibility in the marketplace. I'm really interested. Tell us about the young Ray. Like where did you grow up? What'd your parents do? How has that impacted your career?

So, I'm from Nottingham in the United Kingdom, and I grew up in a mining village. My father worked at the local coal mine. He was first a lorry driver, then later a manual worker on the surface. And my mother by the time that I was born was a full-time mother and a part-time cleaner. And so,
