    Have you ever painted your dreams with the vibrant strokes of perseverance and innovation? My guest, Ian Cook of PopBangColour, certainly has, transforming his visionary childhood scribbles into a life-size canvas of success. This episode peels back the layers of Ian's artistic journey, from the early days of navigating university critiques (crits) to the adrenaline-fuelled moment his giant Lewis Hamilton portrait turned heads and ignited his career. His story is a vivid palette of serendipitous encounters and strategic pivots that’ll inspire you to see the world through a kaleidoscope of possibilities.

    Step inside the studio where creativity and corporate meet as Ian walks us through the corridors of teaching, the hustle of bar work, and into the heart of the business world that's anything but drab. The conversation is charged with tales of chance meetings that blossom into career-defining projects, illustrating the power of networking and the art of standing out in a crowd—literally, in Ian's case, thanks to his penchant for colorful clothing. It's a candid look at the intricate dance between personal passion and professional growth in the art industry.

    As the engines cool and the episode winds down, we shift into a more intimate gear. Ian shares the warmth of his car restoration project, a beautiful ode to family history and the ties that bind us to our past. We also explore the crucial elements of consistency and visibility, ensuring that artists like Ian don't just survive, but thrive in their chosen path. So, if you're ready to shift your perspective and add a splash of color to your daily routine, this conversation is the perfect backdrop to fuel your mischief and creativity.

    Have you ever found joy in the subtle art of bending the rules? Our latest episode with Kate Campbell of Wonderlust is a celebration of those tiny rebellions that add a spark to life. We're not advocating anarchy, but rather those small, creative acts that infuse our days with delight and remind us of the power of wonder and curiosity. From the importance of cheeky challenges to embracing our quieter, mischievous sides, this chat is an invitation to craft a life filled with mini, mischievous moments.

    This conversation calls to the wonder-seekers and the quiet rebels. We discuss the misconception that creativity is confined to grand, artistic endeavors, and instead, highlight the role of creativity in fostering curiosity and innovation across all aspects of life. Whether you're in a boardroom, at a playground with your kids, or carving out time for yourself, there are plenty of low-commitment, high-joy activities to help you tap into that childlike spirit of discovery and invoke a sense of magic in your everyday existence.

    Join us as we delve into Kate's multi-layered Wonder ecosystem, including the Wonder Club membership, business training, and parenting support. Through our personal anecdotes and the sneak peek into Kate's upcoming "Three-Minute Wonders" podcast, we show how creative thinking can be woven into the fabric of everyday life. We are here to demonstrate that creativity isn't about perfection; it's about expression, enjoyment, and the little steps we take towards living a life that's anything but ordinary.

The chapter on embracing change and pursuing creative passions is a testament to the courage required in stepping into entrepreneurship, where Suzanne and I share our experiences of self-doubt, exhilarating freedoms, and the little joys found along the way. I hope our conversation will encourage you to harness the same determination as you consider your own pivot towards a life of intention and creativity.

    I never thought a simple intention to sprinkle more fun into my life would set me on a path to podcasting, but here we are, raising a glass to a year of mischief-making and the kickoff of season four. Join the party as Resilience Coach and fellow podcaster, Alex Pett, flips the script and puts ME in the hot seat! We're peeling back the layers on how a life that felt a bit too mediocre morphed into one rich with purpose and playfulness. Setting intentions wasn't just a trivial act; it was the spark that ignited a transformation, leading to this very podcast and a life I now celebrate every day.

    As I reminisce about my previous incarnation as a footwear designer, the themes of creativity and individuality are as clear as the pop of color in an orange eyelet. We're not just talking shoes here; we're talking life philosophy. With guest-host Alex lending her insights, we tackle the courage it takes to chase our passions, turning a deaf ear to the cacophony of external judgment and silencing that annoying inner-critic. This episode is a rallying cry for anyone looking to embrace their inner rebel, to craft something original, and to live a life that defies the mundane.

    Now, from contemplating a cold water swim challenge to sharing my dream of chatting (or maybe strumming guitars?) with Dave Grohl, this episode is brimming with the anticipation of what's yet to come. It's a testament to the power of action and authenticity, and a tantalizing glimpse into the future of this podcast, where I might just sprinkle in live coaching calls or welcome unexpected guests to the mic. So, strap in and tune in, because this is where we turn the ordinary on its head and champion a life well-lived—one filled with fun, adventure, and a good dose of mischief.

Oli shares his story of overcoming these insecurities, giving us a fresh perspective on embracing authenticity and personal growth. He takes us on his journey of unlearning societal expectations and aligning with his true purpose.

    How would you feel if you discovered a passion that not only ignited your soul but also brought with it a whole new community of like-minded enthusiasts? Welcome to our latest episode where I chat with the awesome Georgia Luck. Georgia, a professional longboarder, unlocked her love for the sport during the 2020 lockdown, and in just 3 years, that newfound passion birthed a thriving longboarding community in Bristol. The narrative of Georgia converting a solitary sport into a communal experience that fosters learning and growth is truly inspiring. We dive into her journey, the growth, and the fulfillment derived from following her joy.

    This is a skater who has harnessed the love for the sport to build an inclusive space for other enthusiasts. Our conversation sheds light on the importance of viewing mistakes as opportunities for growth, the highs, and lows of event planning, life as a freelancer and the dream of creating an indoor skateboarding arena to beat the winter weather. The power of skateboarding to unite people and build a sense of belonging is indeed heartening and inspiring.

    Stay connected for more episodes that stir you to break free from the ordinary and chase the life you crave.

    *Trigger Warning: contains references to sexual abuse*
    Propelling change in a male-dominated industry, Nikita Dare, founder of female-led production company SOL, makes waves in film production. She spills the beans on the challenges she's traversed, the resilience it took to navigate a 'boys club', and the rewarding experience of building a supportive community that values diversity and inclusion. In this week's slightly longer instalment, Nikita's open account of her journey challenges the status quo and emboldens any aspiring change-maker to question what they've been lead to believe is 'normal.'

    We traverse the path from Nikita's early career in advertising to her transition into film production, a journey marked by highs, lows and many learning opportunities. We put under the spotlight the importance of strength of character, resilience, and a supportive work environment, particularly in an industry that can be as demanding and cutthroat as film. Nikita's tales of thriving amidst toxic individuals reveal the foundational values of SOL, while her passion for thrifting showcases her unique approach to crafting sustainable sets.

    I delve into Nikita's dream projects - from a short series that challenges conventional perspectives, to the prospects of collaborating with well-known brands. Amid the excitement though, we never lose sight of the bigger picture - the importance of championing diverse representation in creative industries and building the community that's going to support this. Stay tuned for my top 10 takeaways and by the end, you'll feel inspired, empowered, and ready to challenge outdated norms in your own fields...
