045 // Revolutionizing How We Live with Vaughn Dabney

As It Goes

Jan 25 2023 • 1 hr 12 mins

Ever wonder why we live the way we do? The cost it comes at to our well-being, connections, and Mother Earth? Maybe it's time to evolve the way we live to improve our holistic well-being and society. And Vaughn's got more than a few ideas; he's a man with a big plan (and sold baby steps for us to take today).

I sat down with Vaughn to discuss the role of housing in conscious living and how he's changing housing through the work of the company he founded, Unoma Haus. Unoma Haus is a property technology company that builds smart modular spaces for eco-conscious consumers to live and work more sustainably.


Revolutionize the way you live with Unoma Haus!
