Immersive design: by Gensler.

This week we welcome one of the leaders of a rapidly growing practice area from one of the world’s most noteworthy architecture & design firms, Gensler. In a can’t-miss conversation, Sarah DiLeo, our first guest who can claim to be both a member of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences and a licensed pilot, goes deep with the gang into how a leading immersive media practice is thinking about technology, talent, inclusive design, and more. All this while we lose Bobby to the vortex of the internet, attempt to transform Sarah into a Swiftie, and reveal Andrew’s ideal location for podcast listening. You’ll want to immerse yourself in this one.
