Wellbeing doesn’t follow a straight line; and it doesn’t exist in isolation.

In this episode, we explore how wellbeing shows up: across individualexperience, in the space between people, and within the systems we’re part of.Where does your wellbeing end, and where does mine begin? And how do thoseboundaries shift inside a work environment?

Together with Alessandra Gatti, we connect these questions to the way workis designed today.

Freedom is more than the absence of limits; it’s something we experience in how we see ourselves and in the systems we live and work within. In this episode, we sit down with Luca Solari and talk about freedom as something we choose and nurture. We look at how thoughtful systems can create space for people to grow, contribute, and act with intention; turning rigid organizations into environments built on trust, humanity, and possibility.

In this episode of How It Shifts, wesit down with Robert Vogt to talk aboutwhat it really means to build, experiment, and move beyond the mold.

We explore the mindset of people who don’t waitfor things to happen; they make them happen. Taking risks, getting it wrong,adjusting, and continuing anyway. Because wins and stumbles aren’t opposites,they’re part of the same process of creating something that matters.

An honest conversation about doing, trying, andpushing boundaries; because that’s how the world shifts.

In this episode of How It Shifts, we explore what it means to become the architects of tomorrow with optimistic futurist Josh Allan Dykstra. Through an honest conversation about work, identity, systems, and transformation, the episode dives into moments of crisis, death, and rebirth; and why choosing optimism is not naïve, but a strategic act.

Together, we unpack how unseen systems shape our lives, why awareness is the first step to change, and how creating clear, hopeful visions of the future allows us to actively build what comes next rather than merely react to it.

This episode is dedicated to Matt Pérez, a true shifter in every sense of the word.

Matt believed in collaboration, co-creation, and co-ownership. He imagined and built organizations defined not by hierarchy, but by trust, where people could showup as their whole selves and create together from a place of shared meaning.

From Nearsoft to shaping Radical World, Matt pioneered spaces where work felt fully human. His journey connected people around the world who shared his belief.

Matt showed us that leadership isn’t about being above others, but walking beside them, and that true impact happens when we build spaces that let everyone’s purpose come alive.

If anyone ever embodied the shift, it was Matt Pérez.
