Come join Laura in the sandbox - where we will explore complex questions together with a guest each week. Each episode starts with a single "What if...?" question. For example: What if bottled water became illegal? What if everyone got therapy at school? What if libraries were designed today? What if meetings were silent? From there, we simply explore. We'll follow ideas, challenge assumptions, change our minds and probably disappear down a few unexpected rabbit holes along the way. That's exactly what we're hoping for. Hosted on Acast.
