The HOUSE OF BEAUTIFUL BUSINESS presented



CONCRETE LOVE

The Making of Beautiful Business

October 29 – November 1, 2021 | Lisbon and online
November 1 - November 26, 2021 | Online




TO ACCESS ALL RECORDINGS, JOIN THE HOUSE

From business-as-usual to business that's beautiful

Progress is born in bold abstractions but experienced in the day-to-day. Concrete Love was the response to the forces, innovations, and burning questions that will define 2022 and everything thereafter.


We dreamed big—and built: new workplaces, new selves, new worlds. Out: commitment issues. In: a rootedness that frees you to be whoever you want.


We began again. With concrete love.
