Yesterday’s coffee companion is a political strategist.
We talked about:
- what we got up to at the weekend
- expectations around travel, and how our childhood experiences shape us
- London
- Detroit
- Washington DC and the power of the federal government to keep it relatively low-rise
- how DC was originally supposed to be square
- the complexities of finding locations in front of which politicians can make speeches
- the William Haig era
- creativity and play
- how I fear it when I’m seen as the most creative person in the room
- the performance nature of food
- the future of cities and offices
- how the future of cities should be the sort of thing on contemporary political agendas if only things weren’t so polarised
I’m heading for 100, but that’s a goal, not a limit. Sign up for a coffee at https://calendly.com/matt-ballantine
