Recorded live at Advertising Week Europe 2025 from 180 Studios in London, this episode of the AW360 Podcast features a wide-ranging and inspiring conversation with Ian Millner, Founder of Iris Worldwide.

Ian reflects on building one of the world’s most recognized creative agencies and what it’s like returning to lead in a completely transformed landscape. We explore why entrepreneurial thinking isn’t just for startups, how large brand teams can adopt a founder’s mindset, and what truly scalable collaboration looks like. Ian also shares lessons from his own podcast Entrepreneurs in the Wild, and the wildest adventure of all—rowing across the Mediterranean to raise money for charity.

This episode is a masterclass in creativity, resilience, and what it really takes to lead in a world that never stops changing.
