This week’s Better Future SPOTLIGHT episode with Fiona Triaca is not one to miss.

Part of this is tackling gender inequities and focussing on fixing low economic leverages for women and other minorities to increase socio-mobility. The conversation reaches into the Next and offers an exciting, hope-itarian vision of a better future. This is the Design Exec Club at its best.

In this episode of the Better Future SPOTLIGHT, our Founder Mark Bergin sits down with Richard Henderson of R-Co Brand for a generous conversation about their respective and collective expeditions into a better future.

Both Mark and Richard are "in the business of design, not in the design business" and they are interested in how we can all use design to "bring strategies to life". Their conversation champions imagination as the tool that catapults us out of the past and into the future. With imagination setting the foundation, they also discuss the excitement of the unknown, the power of collaboration, the transcendence of good culture, the necessity of vulnerability, and more.

Richard is ever-respectful of those on whose shoulders he stands and there is no doubt that his knowledge, and generosity in sharing it, will mean that many in turn will be standing on his shoulders as we head into a better future together.
