For centuries, steel has long been considered one of the most innovative construction developments in history. Cities and skyscrapers the world over have relied on the material to build structures in scales that were previously unimaginable, and architects have continued to push the boundaries of what is possible. Looking beyond steel as a structural support, it’s easy to see that the versatility of this metal has huge potential to transform ordinary objects into brilliant design elements.

Recommendation: Optimal Living Daily Podcast

Part of my daily routine is to listen to the Optimal Daily series: Health, Living, Finance, and Business. They touch on nutrition, diet, and exercise; best practices for a meaningful and practical life; how to create financial stability and embrace a minimalist lifestyle; and, the best business advice from blogs that are read to you by the podcast hosts. Each segment is short and to the point, which makes it easy to digest, so I never miss an episode. They create a new podcast 365 days / year.
