Listen Later

I’m excited to welcome Mo Hamzian to the show to discuss the future of workspaces and how to optimize environments for focus, productivity, and well-being. Mo is an entrepreneur, real estate expert, and the co-founder of VEL, a company dedicated to redefining workspaces for the modern workforce.

In this conversation, we cover:

  • The Evolution of Workspaces: Mo discusses the rise of remote work and the impact of flexible and hybrid work environments on productivity and collaboration.
  • Designing for Focus and Productivity: He shares insights on how lighting, temperature, air quality, and ergonomics influence cognitive performance and overall well-being.
  • The Role of Senses in Work Environments: Mo explores how factors like scent, sound, and natural light can enhance focus, creativity, and job satisfaction.
  • Bridging the Gap Between Physical and Digital Workspaces: The concept of “phygital” workspaces and how technology is reshaping where and how we work.
  • The Future of Smart Workspaces: How automation, AI, and personalized environments can create more efficient and effective workspaces outside of traditional offices.

    Mo’s expertise in workspace optimization offers valuable insights for anyone looking to improve their work environment, whether at home, in an office, or in a shared public space.
