Undoing What We Know

A Systems Approach to Learning, Leading, and Letting Go

With Carla Traini


In this episode of the Bennu Community Podcast, we explore how to think beyond the obvious — and why unlearning is just as important as learning.

Our guest, Carla Traini, is a systemic thinker, cross-functional educator, and mentor with a background spanning design, anthropology, psychology, and education. From leading global creative teams to mentoring emerging talents, she shares how complexity, curiosity, and human behavior intersect to shape the way we learn, lead, and make decisions.


We discuss:


  • What it means to “undo” what we know
  • Why seeing both the forest and the trees matters
  • The role of systemic thinking in education, entrepreneurship, and leadership
  • How to navigate uncertainty with awareness, not assumption
  • And why following your passion might not always be the best idea


🎙 Hosted by Ben — futurist, facilitator, and founder of The Futures Hub.
