This week's episode is an unusual one and you'll understand why when we tell you that our guest this week is just seven years old! Meet Charlie Marker, a seven year old Australian artist. His art is full of energy with dynamic graphic shapes. Dinosaurs, fish on skateboards, funny little characters and abstract line work make up the oodles of doodle worlds that fill the spaces that Charlie creates. He uses black markers and doodles on whatever he is allowed to draw on. From big white boards, paper, walls and canvases to furniture and white cups.

Join us for a fantastic episode with some big insights from a young creative including the importance of trying again and learning how to turn mistakes into masterpieces.

"So who's Elvis around here?"

This is the question that Bono used to ask when he turned up to big organisations to find out who to work with, who made things happen, and who was a little bit daring. It is also the question that inspired the name behind Upping Your Elvis, a creative leadership business which helps companies to understand and harness their creativity.

Chris Baréz-Brown and Jim Lusty join us this week for a fantastic episode filled with insights such as how to make business fit you (and not the other way around), building a dynamic around a team rather than a company-wide culture, and how to overcome the fear of stepping outside of the norm.
