    #17 | Design storytelling | Mike Chapman

    Send us a text Buckle up for a design-fueled ride in the latest episode of Conversations with Roberto, as your host Roberto Inderbitzin sits down with the one and only Mike Chapman—TV producer, storyteller, and the mastermind behind the global ByDesign series! From Australia’s design scene to the streets of New York, Mike shares his behind-the-scenes journey of bringing smart, meaningful design stories to mainstream TV—think architecture, innovation, and hotel lobbies that actually work. With wit, warmth, and a cheeky Soho accent, Mike opens up about elevating design from niche to necessary, and why he considers this work more than just television—it’s a cause. Expect laughs (bad on-hold music comes up, don’t ask), big insights, and a peek into how Mike’s small crew is creating massive impact—one story, one episode, one viewer at a time. Key Takeaways: Design Is a Conversation for Everyone: From ditch diggers to doctors, Mike’s goal is to bring design out of the studio and into the spotlight. Curiosity + Craft = Magic: Whether he’s interviewing Ross Lovegrove or filming in a hotel lobby, Mike proves that great storytelling starts with asking the right questions. Diversity by Design: Mike’s not just showcasing brilliant work—he’s actively pushing for broader representation in design media. Extra Insight: From Pandemic Pivot to Primetime: Learn how a pandemic shook up the TV world and created the perfect opening for ByDesign to thrive—and why Mike believes humor is the secret sauce to reaching the “football crowd.” This one’s inspiring, surprising, and straight from the heart of someone who’s reshaping how we see design—and who gets to be seen. 🎧 Tune in, smile, and remember: design is everywhere—and yes, someone even designed that painful customer service call.

    #11 | Curiosity Is Key | Chris Bangle

    Send us a text Chris Bangle, renowned for his transformative work in the automotive design world and former BMW Chief of Design, is an authority in Design. His consultancy, Chris Bangle Associates (CBA), is based in Italy and has been a beacon of innovation. Now, taking another bold step, Bangle has launched Inanimatti Inc., a production business set to debut its first project at Mipcom. During his 17-year tenure leading Design for BMW, Bangle was celebrated for reimagining iconic brands such as Mini, Rolls Royce, and BMW designs.   His early influences trace back to hands-on experiences, like working in a printing shop, which instilled a tangible sense of creation in him. Educated at ArtCenter, Chris imbibed a rigorous design philosophy, emphasizing meticulous craftsmanship. His passion extends to comics, using them as tools to communicate sustainability in Design. One of the most poignant examples of his empathetic approach is the Design project RED, which delves into the needs of the car's occupants, which stands over 90% still, and into pregnant women's unique needs and challenges. Such an empathetic approach ensures that products resonate on a deeply personal level with their users. Chris champions design, emphasizing sustainability, empathy, and the importance of collaboration, as seen in the "Deep Blue" project. However, he's not without concerns, notably about the car design industry's current trajectory. A fun anecdote he shared was the "Great Horse Manure Crisis" of the 1800s, highlighting how innovation can tackle unforeseen challenges. But Chris's innovation doesn't stop at cars or comics. His company is creating an animation series titled "Arky Arch Adventures," promising to be a delightful experience for kids and adults. This series, infused with the same ethos of empathy and innovation, is touted to be unlike anything we've seen before, marking the debut of Chris Bangle's production company, Inanimatti Inc. Throughout his career, Chris has consistently advocated for continuous learning and challenging the status quo.

    #10 | Make Billions, Finding your White Space | Joe Foster

    Send us a text Joe Foster is a British businessman and co-founder of the sportswear company Reebok. Born into a shoemaking family, Foster and his brother Jeff started Reebok in 1958. Under Foster's leadership, Reebok grew from a small running shoe company into a global sportswear brand, known for its innovative designs and marketing strategies. His entrepreneurial spirit and innovation have significantly influenced the sportswear industry. What did we talk about: In this episode, we have an engaging conversation with Joe Foster, the co-founder of the sportswear giant, Reebok. Joe shares his journey, starting from his early life in a family that was already immersed in the shoe business, J.W. Foster and Sons, a company credited with the invention of the spiked running shoe. Despite not being a running enthusiast himself, Joe was deeply involved in the shoe business from a young age. He and his brother Jeff found themselves in the midst of a failing family business, marred by constant feuding between their father and uncle. This led them to make the bold decision to leave and start their own venture, which would eventually become the globally recognized brand, Reebok. Joe provides insights into the evolution of shoes, from performance-based footwear to versatile designs that could be worn on the street, expanding the market for their products significantly. He also shares an interesting anecdote about basketball player Shaquille O'Neal, who switched to Reebok simply because they offered a shoe in his size (22), which Nike did not. The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Joe reflects on the rapid pace of technological change and its impact on business and society. He candidly admits his struggle to fully comprehend concepts like the metaverse and cryptocurrencies, despite understanding what they are. Joe also shares his experiences during World War II, his time in the scouting movement, and his national service, all of which he believes instilled in him discipline and confidence. Towards the end of the episode, he discusses the challenges of running a company amidst internal conflict, drawing from his experiences with his father and uncle. He leaves us with the important lesson of looking towards the future and adapting to change. Tune in to this episode for a deep dive into the life of a man who has been at the heart of the sportswear industry and has witnessed its evolution firsthand.
