Welcome to Knowable.Me! I’m Kelly Schulz and I’ll be your guide as we explore the unique experiences everyday people have, with everyday things.

Inspired by Maya Angelou’s quote: “Do what you know until you know better. Then, when you know better, do better” we’re going to hear about how the uniqueness of being human impacts how we experience the world. We’ll look at products, services, retail, digital and experiences that you might not notice as you go about your day - but my guests certainly do!

Episode one will be launching soon and we’re going to talk about lifts, elevators and vertical transport - have you ever spoken to a lift ninja? I have!
