What if our buildings could carry the stories of the past while paving the way to a CO2-neutral future?
In this episode, I sit down with Dominik Campanella, CEO and Co-Founder of Concular, a Berlin-based company dedicated to transforming the construction sector.
Circular construction is often dismissed as a niche market for rural private residences - but is that really the case? In fact, this approach is quickly becoming a requirement in the future of architecture and city planning.
Dominik shares Concular's journey in developing innovative processes, digital tools, and circular value chains to create a more sustainable future - from insurance products to the urban mining hub in Berlin.
This episode will challenge your thinking on circular construction and its real-world applications.
Join us as we explore how innovation, sustainability, and the stories embedded in our built environment can shape a more connected and responsible world.

Michael Bungay Stanier and I sat down for a conversation. If you hear seagulls in the background, it’s because this episode was recorded in the beautiful coty of Tangier, Morocco.
This conversation was a combination of an interview and a coaching session. We dived into fascinating topics that Michael often explores in his coaching career, such as: when you want to do something that matters - how to begin, the true meaning of commitment, and the dance between thrilling, important, and daunting. Tune in to join the conversation.
To end this season, I would like to share with you something that touched me deeply, a dream walk that was originally exhibited as a sound installation in an art exhibition called Revealed, in Melbourne in 2017. You can find it in Tyson Yunkaporta brilliant book Sand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking Can Save the World. Tyson recently published his new book ‘Right Story, Wrong Story’, and if you haven’t had a chance to check out his work, I highly recommend it.
I invite you to sit or lie down in a comfortable position, close your eyes and simply follow my voice.
