Episode Description

When you walk into a space that feels welcoming and inviting to you, have you ever thought that the same space might feel off-putting or unwelcoming to someone who is quite different from you? Physical spaces tell an immediate story to everyone who enters, even if the space wasn’t “designed,” or the designer wasn’t conscious of the story they were telling at the time. Our guest today has made a career out of designing spaces and experiences for everyone, K.J. Hughes. His journey, spanning from nightclubs to becoming a trusted advisor to athletes and entertainers, has culminated in his latest endeavor, Manifest—a cultural oasis nestled in Washington, D.C.
