About this episode

Ben Tallon reflects on 11 years of podcasting, discussing the importance of creativity and facing uncertainty.

We live in a data-obsessed society. Trapped by the tools and addicted to certainty, too few of us are creating with bravery, daring to fail or f**k up. I reflect on 11 years of podcasting following the 300th episode and share stories of finding out, getting it wrong, growing, and playing through curiosity.
