Our co-founder Emilio Risques joins Manuel Soriano’s Podcast: Innovation, Talent & Overcoming Challenges

I recently had the pleasure of joining Manuel Soriano on his podcast to dive into a topic that is at the core of everything we do at The MotherTrees—how companies can cultivate talent and navigate the challenges of innovation in an ever-changing business landscape.

Drawing from my experience as VP of Innovation at ASICS EMEA, I shared some of the lessons learned along the way—like the time we introduced an in-office gym that resulted in a 0% absenteeism rate. A simple yet powerful initiative that proved how well-being, productivity, and innovation are deeply connected.

We also explored The Venue Barcelona, a unique innovation and co-creation hub, where over 170 events take place annually, attracting 2 million spectators. This space brings together corporates, startups, and creative minds, fostering collaboration and innovation across music, sports, and major events.

At The MotherTrees, we believe that true innovation isn’t just about new technologies or processes—it’s about people, mindset, and creating ecosystems that drive meaningful change.

🎧 Tune in to the conversation and let’s continue exploring how to build a future where innovation and sustainability go hand in hand!
