Raising the temperature on leadership: The power of third spaces with Therme’s Adam Tanaka

Dela

Here’s a scorching hot take: modern workplaces make it nearly impossible for employees to forge real connections. But according to third space culture expert Adam Tanaka, it’s not the connections themselves that are impossible – it’s the space where they’re (not) happening in.

So we took this episode into a wood-fired Finnish sauna pop-up on the Brooklyn waterfront to test his theory. 

Topic Highlights:

– The power of physical space design to create real human connection 

– The case for wellness as infrastructure, not luxury

– What the "dinner party rule of six" tells us about why most meetings and offsites fail

– The analog advantage: why real human experience offers an exponential premium in an AI-saturated world

Guest Bio:

Adam Tanaka is the COO of Therme Group US, a global wellness infrastructure company. Adam holds a PhD in urban planning.
