More often than not, when we think about health and wellness, our thoughts turn to diet and exercise. However, most of us spend two-thirds or more of our day inside buildings. The quality of the environment in those buildings has been proven to have a dramatic impact on our well being and our productivity, both at work and at home. There is little discussion about this in the mainstream media. It’s time to start a public dialogue about how we are affected by the buildings where we live, work and play.

From his early career as a commercial pilot to helping architects communicate purpose through film, Robert shares a deeply personal journey into creativity, connection, and meaning. Together, they unpack the power of “character-driven storytelling” and why human emotion—not technical specs—is what truly resonates with clients. The conversation dives into neuroscience, trust, and how the spaces we design can shape health, behavior, and community. Through real-world examples, Robert reveals how authentic stories can cut through greenwashing and inspire lasting impact. This episode challenges us to rethink how we communicate design—and why it matters more than ever.
