I’ve talked before about creativity and the importance of experimenting in your business, and it’s something I’ve prioritised in my own work. So today’s episode with illustrator and creative explorer Ben Tallon is a real treat as we dive into the multifaceted nature of creativity.

We explore how creativity isn’t limited to traditional artistic endeavors and Ben shares his journey of 16 years as a freelance illustrator and his passion for creativity in various forms, from setting up music companies to podcasting. We also talked about the importance of creativity in daily activities, how adversity can spur creative growth, and the potential impact of AI on the creative industry.
