My guest today is Antonia Botero, the Founder of MADDPROJECT. Antonia has over 15 years of experience in architecture, construction, and development. Her notable projects include the rehabilitation and repositioning of the historic TWA terminal into the TWA hotel at JFK Airport in New York City. In today's episode, we discuss Antonia's key influences including being an immigrant, going to an all-girls school, and the high standards and unwavering belief in her abilities by her parents. We also discuss how a pivotal year led to a complete re-examination of her life and what's changed since then.
