About the Show
Conversations at the edge of what's possible.
EdUp Smart Space is a podcast hosted by Craig Park that goes beyond the headlines and the hype to examine how technology is actually changing in educational facilities design — and what practitioners, leaders, and organizations need to do about it.
Each episode features candid, substantive conversations with thinkers, practitioners, and leaders who are navigating the real terrain of change. No buzzwords. No easy answers. Just honest dialogue about what's coming and how to meet it.
The show covers strategy, AI, organizational design, leadership, marketing, and the broader forces reshaping how professionals build, grow, and sustain meaningful work.
