Kerry Ann King Talks About Productivity, Art, and the Power of Intention

Hi, I'm Carrie Ann King and I'm about to have a productive conversation with Mike Vardy. Welcome to A Productive Conversation. I'm Mike Vardy. And this time around, I'm joined by Carrie and King. Carrie Ann is the founder and CEO of Illuminate Labs. We touch on what Illuminate Labs is and what they're working on.

They're a software development company dedicated to building applications. That decolonized tech. creating inclusive solutions for human well-being. And after more than a decade working inside the tech industry to promote human centered approaches to well being, Carrianne felt it was necessary to break free from the exploitative foundations of big tech to build applications that put people and their well-being first.

It's very clear with my conversation and and having you know even the preamble with Carrianne that she really is passionate about this. We dive into kind of this transactional element that comes along with to-do lists and productivity and how it may not be serving us. We dive into the arts in particular, which I think is super helpful and why we maybe don't look to the arts nearly as much for qualitative productivity as opposed to, you know, other areas. uh within the world and why maybe they get the short shrift. We also dive in a little bit near the tail end, so you want to stick around about the mobile app Finn.
