The Building Thinkers Podcast
Accessible Blueprints for Learning & Life
With Tracy Clark
Building Thinkers is based on the realization that there is exponential impact in the things we build — from mindsets and behaviors, to resumes and meal-plans — but sometimes insights and impact seem out of reach or overly complex.
In the Building Thinkers podcast, we explore 12 Favorite Problems and their application across industries — business, education, organization, psychology, and finances — unpacking the design, strategy, and details behind the things we build to create accessible blueprints for you to explore and apply to your learning and life.
Harness curiosity. Win your future.
The 12 Favorite Problems
"You have to keep a dozen of your favorite problems constantly present in your mind, although by and large they will lay in a dormant state. Every time you hear or read a new trick or a new result, test it against each of your twelve problems to see whether it helps." Richard Feynman, Nobel Prize-winning physicist
These represent the conversations we want to have and the topics we explore. If any of these align with your life's work, your constant curiosities, or the problems you love solving — reach out.
