Ryan Anderson and his global research team are spread across more than 20 countries, allowing them to study a wide variety of built environments, workplaces, homes, schools, and healthcare, not just remotely, but in person. That in-person presence is critical. It gives them the ability to feel what's happening in different types of spaces, each designed around distinct objectives.
Ryan also hosts one of the leading podcasts in the space, About Place—a true masterclass in all things design, workplace, and beyond. In fact, his podcast was one of my earliest and most valued resources as I dove into this community and topic.
So it was a real pleasure to sit down in person at Running Remote 2025 in Austin. Ryan shares how experience-based design isn't just about furniture or aesthetics, it's about creating environments that support engagement, autonomy, and wellbeing.
We explore the purpose behind workspace design, the data behind engaged teams, and the human factors that too often get overlooked. Ryan also talks about the role of choice and trust in workplace effectiveness, and why spaces that reflect organizational values are more important than ever.
Please join me in welcoming Ryan Anderson back to the Work 20XX podcast.

Paper Ghosts: The Texas Teen Murders takes you back to 1983, when two teenagers were found murdered, execution-style, on a quiet Texas hill.

William Phelps reopens the file — uncovering new witnesses, hidden evidence, and a shocking web of deaths that may all be connected. Over nine gripping episodes, Paper Ghosts: The Texas Teen Murders unravels a story 42 years in the making… and asks the question: who’s really been hiding the truth?
