Did you ever wonder why we’re so passionate about creating awesome offices? It’s really pretty simple - Where you work often determines how you work. And how you work ultimately determines your success.  This week’s guest is Brendan Wallace, the co-founder and managing partner of Fifth Wall, and the perfect person to break down how our physical environment impacts our work and lives. Fifth Wall is a venture capital firm focused on technology solutions for the “Built World.” What does that mean? The “Built World” is the canvas of human existence - where we live, work, sleep, consume, and play. Brendan and Fifth Wall’s goal is to transform and optimize these physical spaces, so that we can more fully realize our potential - both in business and in life. Co-host Sean Spear sat with Brendan in our Awesome Office and SnackNation HQ to get to the heart of how Brendan and his firm are reimagining the spaces where we work, live, and play. Brendan brought a ton of futuristic insight to this interview, exploring why the real estate industry is so rife for disruption, and diving deep into how self driving cars will fundamentally change our lives. A man of many talents, Brendan also just launched his own podcast, The Fifth Wall Podcast.
