Stefan Sagmeister - legendary designer and pioneering creator - returns to continue our conversation from episode 199, only this time live on the main stage at OFFF Festival Barcelona.

We continue to explore the notion of understanding our minds in order to find an optimistic baseline, from which we can work to resolve our collective problems.

The chat took place in front of a live 2000+ audience in Disseny Hub and now is your chance to hear it too.

Ep 223: Stefan Sagmeister live at OFFF Festival 2024 - Long Term Thinking

I had to explain to my kids why manageable jeopardy is good for them on this morning's nursery run. This tested my understanding and articulation of it. Then I get home and YouTube's algorithm tosses me Jimmy Carr telling Steven Bartlett why risk and living life without too much fear is crucial for young people and their mental health.

It all set in motion a train of thought about jeopardy's role in optimal creativity... join me and climb aboard.

Ep 224: RISK! And why it's critical for creative growth and big ideas

Welcome to 'The Creative Condition' podcast: an ongoing exploration of human creativity, hosted by The New York Times, Adidas, and Premier League illustrator and author Ben Tallon.


Creativity is an often misunderstood pillar of human happiness, something far bigger than artistic talent and crucial for fulfilling lives and careers. 

Little by little, Ben builds an archive of valuable stories, experiences, and tips to help you maximise yours.


Featuring exclusive interviews with experts and thought leaders, including illustrators, rock stars, artists, sensitivity experts, designers, emergency service workers, Olympic gold medal winners, comedians, microbiologists, photographers, fighters, and many others.
