In this episode, I sit down with Dominik Campanella, CEO and Co-Founder of Concular, a Berlin-based company dedicated to transforming the construction sector.

What if we celebrated ‘a night in?’

In this episode, I had the pleasure of hosting Rinat Sherzer, a visionary dreamer, passionate creator, and relentless advocate for both the earth and humanity.

Rinat, currently a PhD candidate at RMIT, brings a wealth of experience to our conversation. She is a biotech engineer, transdisciplinary designer and artist, social entrepreneur, and educator. Rinat divides her time between teaching at Parsons School of Design in New York and serving as the Head of Design & Innovation at Wix Studio, while also giving keynote speeches worldwide. Previously, she was the Head of Design Management & Innovation at Bezalel Academy.

Rinat combines principles from biomimicry and strategic design to create a cultural shift towards an egalitarian society. We explore the concept of "the rhythm of the egg"—an intriguing idea that challenges our conventional approach to life and success. Rinat’s perspective encourages us to slow down, appreciate the quieter moments, and find joy in simplicity.
