  • Resumen

  • Building Thinkers is based on the realization that there is exponential potential in the things we build, from mindsets and behaviors, to resumes and meal-plans, but sometimes insights and impact seem out of reach or overly complex. In the Building Thinkers podcast we will explore a wide range of topics (business, education, organization, habits, therapy, finances, research to name a few) unpacking the design, strategy, and details behind the things we build to create accessible blueprints for you to explore and apply to your own learning and life. There is no limit to what you can learn.

    Mar 15 2025
    In this episode of the Building Thinkers podcast, John Puts joins me to explore the fascinating intersection of humanity and technology. We dive into how embodiment practices can help us reconnect with ourselves and others. John shares his journey, moving from a high-pressure career at Google to a more fulfilling path focused on human connection and growth. We discuss how to activate human potential, reclaim focus in our distracted world, and overcome the fear of missing out. John also emphasizes the power of mindfulness, self-awareness, and choice in shaping our lives. We talk about why personal growth should prioritize vertical development over horizontal, and why slowing down is key. John shares how shifting from self-referential thinking to a service-oriented mindset can transform the way we act, and we touch on the influence of thought leaders like Yuval Noah Harari in shaping his approach to human consciousness. It’s an insightful conversation you won’t want to miss!Key Takeaways:The AI era challenges us to redefine what it means to be human.Embodiment practices foster deeper connections with ourselves and others.Personal fulfillment often requires stepping away from societal expectations.Quality attention is essential for personal and professional growth.Workplaces should prioritize community and connection over competition.

    How to Design Transformative Team Experiences
    Feb 14 2025

    In this episode of Building Thinkers, I sit down with Tom Goulooze to discuss the power of intentional experience design and how it’s reshaping the way we approach meaningful moments at work and beyond.


    Tom shares his unique journey from agile coaching to creating his freelance business,Tomfoolery, where he specializes in crafting transformative experiences for teams and organizations. We dive into the need to rethink traditional team-building practices and corporate rituals, and how focusing on human connection can lead to real, lasting change.


    Tom challenges the conventional approach to solving problems by encouraging us to look at the root causes rather than relying on quick fixes.


    We also explore how "broken soundtracks" and limiting beliefs can hold back innovation, and how shifting mindsets can unlock new potential. This episode is all about reimagining how we create impact in the workplace, whether it’s through a meeting, a team-building event, or even a company ritual.


    If you're someone looking to innovate and challenge the status quo in experience design, this conversation will inspire you to rethink how you connect with others and create authentic, impactful moments. Tune in for fresh ideas and practical advice on designing experiences that prioritize people and purpose over outdated methods.


    Key Takeaways:


    The importance of focusing on feelings before diving into experience design.


    Rethinking how traditional team-building activities could be reshaped for deeper connection and purpose.


    Recognizing how limiting beliefs might be impacting your team’s growth.


    Learn how shifting mindsets could open new doors for team collaboration and innovation.


    Small, thoughtful changes could have a big impact, without resorting to one-size-fits-all solutions.
