ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
What does it look like to build a career — and a life — entirely on your own terms?
In this episode, Sai sits down with Radha Mistry, a foresight strategist, designer, and educator whose path has been anything but conventional. From growing up across India, England, and Taiwan, to walking away from architecture, moving to London for art school, and eventually finding her calling in futures research — Radha's story is about what happens when you refuse to let the world define you.
They dig into:
- How Radha went from architecture school to leading foresight work at a global firm
- What "futures thinking" actually is (hint: it's provocation, not prediction)
- Why she struggled to call herself a designer — and how she found the language to own it
- Growing up between cultures and never quite fitting in
- Redefining marriage, motherhood, and ambition on her own terms
- What it means to raise kids who feel free to contain multitudes
- Why mentoring women of color in design is deeply personal to her
