In business, how much is beauty in your life? What about art, music, science, activism? Tim Leberecht co-founded the House of Beautiful Business as a space for this unexpected mix, to challenge us to be more human.


THE IMPACT. Tim Leberecht:

Is co-founder and co-CEO of the House of Beautiful Business, a global think tank and community bringing together leaders and changemakers to make humans more human and business more beautiful

Was chief marketing officer of NBBJ, a global design and architecture firm; and chief marketing officer of product design and innovation consultancy Frog Design

Has several popular TED Talks, including “3 Ways to (Usefully) Lose Control of Your Brand” and most recently “4 Ways to Build a Human Company in the Age of Machines

Is the author of the book The Business Romantic, and most recently, The End of Winning

THE JOURNEY. In our conversation, we explore:

Early influences - art, creativity, curation, creating spaces and experiences

Creating the House - a secret society, an experiment to put beauty at the center of business

A challenge to bridge - words / ideas and action / specificity

Thinking about our role - a thought leader vs. a critic and challenger

Adapting - creating experiences and intimacy from a physical space to a metaphorical space
