Designing Empowerment from the Inside Out with Thibault Manekin

Thibault Manekin has had a life of putting himself in uncomfortable situations. Through that process, he has learned a lot about what change looks like, and when you need to take "No" and "Can't" as signs of being on the right track. Thibault visits the ExD studios to discuss his new book "Larger than Yourself." We talk about his work in South Africa with the Peace Players, using sports to bridge social divides. We also explore his company Seawall, and his attempts to redeem real estate. Finally, we talked about what qualitative change looks like, and how to keep pushing when it feels like the world is pushing back.

This is experience by design, a podcast that brings new perspectives to the experiences we have everyday. Does standing in line always have to suck? Why are airports so uncomfortable? What does it mean to be loyal to a brand? Why do you love being connected but dislike feeling tethered to your smart phone? Can we train people to care about the climate? Join Sociologist Gary David and Anthropologist Adam Gamwell on an expedition to the frontiers of culture and business through the lens of human experience. We're here to make sense of the madness with leading psychologists, cognitive and social scientists, entrepreneurs, and business leaders.
