251: How To Design A Better Future with Angie Lee

May 22

Today’s show will be the last one for a couple of months. I’m taking a summer break before the August 2020 release of my new book, Radical Alignment, co-authored with my husband, Bob Gower. Today’s show has everything to do with design–and we are going far beyond kitchen remodels.

Angie Lee is someone I met in the last few months, and we bonded immediately. She’s an architect, partner, and Design Director of Interiors at FXCollaborative in NYC. Angie knows the importance of design and how it is a part of everything in our lives. The word “design” doesn’t mean just a drawing, but the creation of a plan to construct an object or system. Angie’s passion is how design shapes our human experience, even to the point of inclusion in the systems of our culture. The concept of design, specifically how it relates to our world, has been blowing my mind. Join us to learn more!
