She walked onto construction sites with a hard hat that never fit — not because she didn't care about safety, but because it was never designed for her. Smita Sahoo is an architect, interior designer, and the founder of a women's PPE innovation initiative. For 20 years, she's designed spaces where people do their best work. And for 20 years, she's held her hard hat on with one hand while sketching with the other. So she decided to fix it. In this episode, we talk about:

• Designing with conviction instead of approval· Navigating egos without losing yourself
• Karma equity — giving without expecting return
• The hard hat problem most people don't know exists
• What it means to build something when the blueprint doesn't exist yet

This conversation is for anyone who's ever seen a need no one else is addressing — and decided they're the one to solve it.
