What if better cities and better workplaces start with the same question: what helps people truly thrive?
In this episode of Curated Conversations, host Sheliza Jamal sits down with Bo Aganaba — urban planner, founder of Good Being, and systems thinker — for a rich conversation on sustainability, leadership, play, and reimagining how we live and work.
Bo reflects on his journey from urban planning to building Good Being, unpacking how green spaces, biomimicry, community engagement, and a diasporic lens have shaped his approach to designing healthier environments. Together, Sheliza and Bo also dig into the limits of overused DEI language, the role of psychological safety and mindfulness at work, and why play may be one of our most underrated tools for creativity, learning, and well-being.
From workplace autonomy to ecological responsibility, this episode offers a thoughtful blueprint for anyone interested in more human-centered leadership, more joyful work, and more sustainable futures.
