The buildings we spend time in deeply affect our health. This is what the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) is communicating to architects, designers, and workers across industries and borders. We spoke with the CEO and President of IWBI, Rachel Hodgdon, on the Social Entrepreneurship & Innovation Podcast about how things like air quality, water quality, and even seat placement shape not only how we perform at work, but how physically and mentally healthy we are. 

In our Episode with Rachel we discuss: 

• What is an innovation ecosystem? 
• How the World Economic Forum is scaling innovation ecosystems around the globe. 
• Her background in technology and sustainability. 
• The power of affecting systems change globally and becoming more circular.
