Your Environment Is Controlling You | Leidy Klotz
The Art of Charm
Space, memory, and intentional conversations
Leidy and the hosts explain how place influences memory and suggest using different spaces for important talks.
We spend so much time trying to improve ourselves — but ignore the environments shaping us every day.
Leidy Klotz joins AJ and Johnny to explain how the spaces we live and work in quietly influence our behavior, relationships, and performance. From agency and attention to connection and memory, small environmental shifts can have outsized effects.
This episode breaks down how to design your space for focus, growth, and better conversations — without needing more time, money, or complexity.
