Great talk, very insightful and interesting. Olha is a wonderful professional who manages to create amazing projects under unimaginably difficult and stressful conditions. I just wish russia's war to end as soon as possible so that Ukrainian creators can work and realize their ideas in peace.

Kerry Lyons shares an all too familiar story of chasing success on the wrong terms before changing direction for the better.

As a coach for creatives, Kerry helps people change their narrative and break from ties to old lives, careers, and false beliefs about their personalities and capabilities.

She provides some superb tips for those feeling any level of dissatisfaction, or simply wishing to streamline their own creativity.

The Slow Emotion-Emotional (2001)

Almost two years after Russia invaded Ukraine, I'm joined by Ukrainian illustrator, designer, and design community activist Olha Protasova to talk about creativity in times of war.

This episode contains sensitive topics, but I hope you'll stay with us to be inspired by the bravery, resilience, and hope Olha shows.

Live Tonight

John Newbigin, chair of Creative England, who mentor, support and invest in the UK Creative Industries joins me to discuss creativity in education, how crucial it is and how the current system is outdated and cruel.

We discuss what the arts bring to a rapidly transforming society in the digital revolution and break down Education Secretary Nicky Morgan's comments about children choosing arts and humanities limiting their careers...

Looking for feedback on this one guys, big issues and real life content!

Ep 5: Art & the education system disaster with John Newbigin, Creative England Chair

Rohan Daniel Eason's stark black and white, pen and ink illustrations are rooted in the more traditional style of organic illustration. Often found in beautiful books with a dash of fantasy, they inspire freedom of imagination and transportation to a faraway land. But Rohan's real-life story is far more intriguing and inspiring than that. Taking the long road, his musical exploits, not without success, led him back to his childhood pleasure of drawing.

He takes us through that tale, including school artworks sold to peers, open-minded parents not questioning subversive pieces including three girls sat on toilets and a less than conventional method of getting his place at Kingston University.

Rohan's tale is hilarious, a great lesson to people who feel like they're existing down the rabbit hole in this confusing and often challenging creative industry.

We take a look at Rohan's work for Unicef, creating animations for a recent campaign to raise awareness of the plight of child refugees, his illustrations for My First Kafka and discuss how personal work can be the key to not becoming typecast and personal creative development.
