The Creative Condition podcast

It's too easy to slip into fear and scarcity. We all do it, but what changes when we make creative career decisions based on the life we want to live instead of in short-term mindsets?

I hadn't expected the act of peeling a boiled egg in the street to trigger raucous laughter and a wave of self-awareness, but here we are. 
When it comes to story, who you are and creativity, there's a lot more to it than the big buzzwords.

Deyson Ortiz meets countless people with phenomenal lived experiences, big achievers and thought leaders who have no idea how to tell their story. When the camera goes on or the mic is in front of their face, they run for the hills.
He helps them to change that.
We're talking about confidence, why story matters and how to find confidence in our own story to illuminate the path ahead.

The return of Jackass to my life, a TV show that would not see the light of day in today's world, has exhumed a part of me that I've neglected too often. The mischief and dirty energy that informs so much of my creativity is harder to come by in middle age, but bad influences are good.
It requires balance and moderation, and creativity to work it into our responsible adult lives, but without the crackle of naughtiness and subversion, can creativity truly thrive?
I consider this idea on today's episode.

Is it mad or wise to be cleaning the dishwasher when you could be productive?
I ponder this over a black chicory coffee replacement, no sugar.

How the hell do you manage and inspire 200 employees in one branding agency? I don't know, but Thomas Kurppa, co-founder of Swedish branding agency Kurppa Hosk, does, and he takes us on a ride through electronic music, DJing, posters, album covers, and into the design industry.

We live in a data-obsessed society. Trapped by the tools and addicted to certainty, too few of us are creating with bravery, daring to fail or f**k up. 
I reflect on 11 years of podcasting following the 300th episode and share stories of finding out, getting it wrong, growing, and playing through curiosity.
