Imagine a Place Productions launches, The Skill Set, a new podcast with IIDA EVP and CEO Cheryl Durst.
CHICAGO — In collaboration with OFS and Imagine a Place Productions, International Interior Design Association (IIDA) Executive Vice President and CEO, Cheryl S. Durst, Hon. FIIDA is pleased to announce the launch of her new podcast, The Skill Set with Cheryl Durst.
With its first episode launching on Sunday, June 12, The Skill Set will explore the life experiences, earned wisdom, and surprising skills of a broad range of talented professionals across all industries. Designed as a series of insightful, in-depth conversations that highlight the unique talents and skills that allow individuals to thrive and succeed, The Skill Set will feature guests whose lives and professions might be wildly different—but who share a fascinating skill set not readily evident on traditional resumes or in job descriptions. Sunday’s inaugural episode features neurosurgeon Dr. David Langer, chair of neurosurgery at New York City’s Lenox Hill Hospital, and country singer Alison Asarch, winner of Netflix’s Sing On!. In conversation with Durst, they discover a surprising commonality.
As home to four podcasts surrounding creativity and design, Imagine a Place Productions functions as an arm of industry product design leader OFS. With 25 years of experience at IIDA, Durst’s experience in the design industry creates a natural collaboration with OFS and Imagine a Place’s desire to tell the stories of the industry and its people from the inside out.
New episodes will be available monthly on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all other podcast streaming platforms.
