Herzlich willkommen zu einer neuen Folge von Wunderbar Together. Heute ist die wunderbare Architektin Annabelle Selldorf bei uns zu Gast und macht mit uns einen Ausflug in die Welt der Architektur – die, wenn man ihr Glauben schenkt, immer auch ein Spiegelbild der Gesellschaft ist, in der wir leben. Auch Felix – der diesmal aus dem elterlichen Zuhause im schönen Nürnberg podcastet – hätte für diese Aufzeichnung gerne einen Ausflug gemacht. Wäre es nach ihm gegangen, er hätte sich auf ein City-Bike geschwungen und wäre die Westside hinunter bis 860 Broadway geradelt. Bis zum Union Square, mitten hinein in das Büro von Selldorf Architects. Andy Warhol betrieb hier einst eines seiner berühmten Studios, direkt unter seiner einstigen Kunstschmiede liegt heute das Büro von Annabelle. „Ich scherze immer darüber, dass Andy mir seine guten Ideen durch die Decke schickt“, erzählt sie. Die Ideen kann sie dann direkt mit ihrem Team teilen – denn Annabelle, die sich selbst als ziemlich involvierte Chefin beschreibt, besitzt kein Corner Office, ihr Reich ist nur durch ein paar Regale vom Rest des lichten, offenen Büros getrennt.

Grit, resilience, strong values and a work ethic instilled in her from a young age propelled Jane from her dirt poor Iowa upbringing to an executive role at Microsoft. We discuss Jane's new book, "Worthy: From Cornfields to Corner Office of Microsoft,"  and the story that led her to a life she never could have imagined. When a door opened, Jane leapt through it and went all in. When she felt like a fraud, and was flooded with fear and insecurity, she kept going. When she felt like she didn't belong among the upper middle ivy leaguers, she kept going. Jane wants you to know r that your background does not define your future. If you find it hard to relate to people who have all the answers, and don't have major issues they are struggling with, this is the book for you. Jane is open about all of it, including her recovery from the bulimia that nearly destroyed her.  From the Jane's Gottman Institute bio: "Unwilling to let circumstances, fear or others define her, Jane was penniless and married at 20, earned an MBA at 24, saw the ocean at 25, commuted to South America each week at 31, brought two sons into the world by 35, was a millionaire at 37, and one of the top 10 women at Microsoft at 40.  By 52, Jane had launched three billion-dollar businesses, been VP of the largest merger in the history of the US, forged global alliances, won lots of awards and left a legacy of strong leaders in her wake. Along the way to the corner office, Jane was hit on, spit on, shot at, yelled at, a zero and a hero. She's been called a bulldog, a bitch, an idiot and brilliant, all in the same week. Married to her high school sweetheart, Jane lives in Washington state and works to make a difference, serving on boards including Boys & Girls Clubs, writing, speaking, and consulting.    Connect with us on Instagram @meantforit and reach out via email at contact@meantforit.com with your thoughts or suggestions for future episodes.
