March 14, 2023 Create impactful photographic campaigns for the BBC with Jason Baron
For the final episode of series 3, we spoke to Jason Baron, a creative industry veteran whose work centres on making brands and people look good.

A photography expert who dedicates so much of his time to giving back to the industry he has worked in for many years. Jason used to lead the photography team at BBC Creative, and also acts, does voice over work and loves to make music.

We talked about Jason’s career in television and commercial photography, the mentoring he does, and what a day in the life of a creative director in the BBC looks like. Jason shared his philosophy on what commercial photography should be - namely, the wider impact that great, art photography can have on those that view it. Most recently, Jason has been working with Comic Relief to tell the stories of the communities they help so people can understand where their money goes when they donate.

February 21, 2023 What does 'creativity' mean to you? series 3
In our weekly conversations, we focus on speaking to people who use creativity for good.
But, before that was our focus, and for all of series 1, this podcast was focused on asking questions about creativity more generally.
What it is, what the outputs of creativity could be, and why some people described themselves as creatives and other don't.

So, for this community-led episode, we passed the mic over to some of our listeners to hear what 'creativity' means to them.

February 07, 2023 Write a debut novel about identity, loss, and belonging with Jyoti Patel
Jyoti Patel is a writer.
In 2021 she won the #Merky Books New Writers' Prize, which led to publishing her debut novel, The Things That We Lost, in January 2023.
Jyoti is a graduate of the University of East Anglia's Prose Fiction MA, and her work has previously been published as part of WePresent's 'Literally' series, and in the anthology for the 2022 Bristol Short Story Prize.

He debut novel, The Things That We Lost, is a gorgeous and heartbreaking story that explores what it means to be a person of colour in the UK today. It's an exploration of family, loss and ultimately love and it discusses the nature of identity, belonging, and the stories we tell ourselves to manage trauma.
We chatted with Jyoti about her creative influences growing up, how she went from writing for joy, to falling out of love with it, to winning the #Merky Books New Writer’s prize, and learned about her goal to tell a story that centres a British Gujarati family who don’t fall into stereotypes.

January 10, 2023 Create empowering creative campaigns for Nike with Greg Hoffman
Greg Hoffman joined Nike as a 22-year old design intern. He retired in 2020 as Chief Marketing Officer.
Over three decades, Greg was responsible for crafting some of the most iconic brand campaigns in history.
His book, Emotion By Design, is the story of a biracial, adopted child, who cultivated an ability to create stories, images, and experiences that make people feel even their most audacious dreams are possible to achieve.

We spoke to Greg about how his personal and professional experiences empowered and informed how he led one of the most creative brands on the planet - using a framework he calls, Emotion by Design. We discussed why leading with empathy is essential in creative work, why you should care more about telling stories that stick with your audience than creating content that just competes for attention. Greg talked about his experience as a person of colour in the design and creative industries, the late great, George Lois, and a warning on pursuing perfection too early in your process.

Emotion by Design is available in paperback now in the UK
