What Happens When Disciplines Collide?

What do a vintage Vespa, a webcam staring contest, a clothing closet, and a plate of tacos have in common?

In this episode of 71 North Our Way, we explore how 71 North creates opportunities for people, disciplines, and ideas that normally remain separate to meet through shared work.

Drawing from stories in the Fall 2024 Pulse archive, we look at how Tech Taco makes unfamiliar technologies more approachable, how Vespa Mode brings creative and technical contributors into the same project, how Random Hacks of Kindness connects problem-solving to community needs, and how Startup Standup turns play into practice.

Together, these stories reveal a studio where learning happens through unexpected combinations—and where different forms of expertise become more useful when they encounter one another.

Sometimes innovation begins by putting the right people, the right problem, and a few tacos in the same room.
