the last meeting of the week

By: Fernando Mendez
  • Summary

  • My name is Fernando Mendez; I am an executive in the design industry based in Hong Kong. As all of my colleagues, I do weekly dozens of meetings in which I have a commercial agenda and a mission to achieve. Once per week, however, I like to talk to people and focus my attention totally on them and their projects. I want to learn and foster my never ending curiosity. Since I thought that some conversations might be interesting I decided to record them and this podcast is the result. Hope that you enjoy it!
