The Creative Condition podcast

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.
