EP 33: Leadership Lessons from Superheroes and Dark Social

With a specialisation in leadership we talk to Dr. David Kahn. David found that most leadership content is great, but the delivery is geared towards academics, not frontline leaders. True to his growth mindset nature he decided to do something about it and wrote ‘Cape, Spandex, Briefcase: Leadership Lessons from Superheroes” David is also Editor of the great blog Leadersayswhat. On this week’s show we talk to David about the traits of true leaders which can be drawn from superheroes. We also focus on how these skills can be applied to true innovation. Robert Farrell is Director of the Digital Marketing academy and we talk Dark Social. Robert explains what it is, what the latest trends are and how chatbots and payments are entering the ecosystem at a rapid pace.

EP 31: Creativity and Resilience. What is creativity? Spider-inspired, 3D-printed hydraulic arm.

We have a fantastic chat with architect, maverick and author Pierluigi Serraino on the definition of creativity and innovation through architecture. We talk about how the creative and the architect are truly innovators, often misunderstood and often suppressed, but hugely resilient. In 1950 an amazing creativity study of the top architects, including Eero Saarinen, I.M. Pei, Philip Johnson, Louis Kahn, Richard Neutra, George Nelson took place. Architect, maverick and author Pierluigi Serraino uncovered this study and tells us the story on this week’s innovation show. http://www.pierluigiserraino.com/ https://www.amazon.com/Creative-Architect-Inside-Midcentury-Personality/dp/1580934250
