    Dare to lean into indigenous values - Laura Cibilich

    Laura Cibilich, co-founder of Run, a design and advertising agency in New Zealand, shares her journey from naive graphic designer to agency owner guided by Māori values.  Laura discusses how indigenous values aren't separate from business—they're fundamental human principles. She reveals how becoming a parent forced strategic thinking, leading to winning major clients like Niue Tourism despite being up against agencies with cafes and corporate perks.  The conversation explores navigating neurodivergence in creative partnerships, the courage to say no to misaligned clients, and why human creativity will always matter more than AI-generated shortcuts. Key TakeawaysCreativity isn't taught out of people—it's about maintaining curiosity and finding the right environment to express it naturallyNot knowing the formal rules can be an advantage, allowing you to break conventions and make unexpected discoveriesStarting without a perfect plan isn't failure—it's part of the journey, and going back to employment to stabilize isn't defeatHaving children forces you to think strategically about life and business, often providing the catalyst needed for serious growthSmaller agencies can win against corporate giants by offering passion and guarantee of being the client's priority, not smallest accountDefining and writing down your values creates a guiding compass for decision-making, hiring, and client selectionADHD can be a superpower in advertising where constant idea generation is the job—understanding neurodivergence helps rather than hindersIndigenous values are fundamentally human values—about relationships, environment, kinship, and treating people with genuine respect and careSaying no to lucrative but misaligned work gets easier when you're clear on values and positioned for right-fit clientsAI tools have their place, but human creativity rooted in culture, values, and tactile experiences cannot be replicatedBeing one of few women founders carries weight and responsibility, but sharing your story helps pave the way for othersLong-term thinking helps navigate setbacks—bumps in the road are temporary when you maintain vision of where you're heading Daring Creativity.

    Dare to care more than everyone else - Alex Center

    Alex Center shares his journey from insecure art student to founder of his eponymous design studio. Growing up in the '90s, he discovered confidence through art classes and developed a relationship with brands that made him feel important.  After a disillusioning internship at the New York Knicks, he found his calling at Vitamin Water, working alongside marketing legends like Rohan Oza and eventually collaborating with Collins on a major rebrand. The pivotal moment came when Brian Collins refused to validate his decision to start a studio, instead telling him "it needs to come from inside you."  Seven years later, Center has built 25+ brands from scratch, earning international recognition not by working with the biggest brands, but by creating the brands of the future—challenging the status quo and helping people belong.

    Dare to imagine your future - Debbie Millman

    In this episode of Daring Creativity podcast Debbie Millman shares her transformative journey from a pivotal class with Milton Glaser to becoming one of the most influential voices in creative conversations.  Through her 20-year podcasting career with Design Matters, ownership of Print Magazine, and leadership of the world's first Masters in Branding program at SVA, Millman reveals the power of writing your future, choosing courage over confidence, and redefining failure as simply giving up on yourself. The conversation explores her famous 10-year plan exercise that has changed countless lives, the evolution of deep listening skills, and her meticulous research process that unearths hidden gems from guests' histories. Millman discusses navigating different life decades, the involuntary nature of fear, and why AI cannot replace the soul of original creativity.  She demonstrates how creating your own opportunities—rather than waiting to be chosen—can lead to extraordinary influence and meaningful work that spans decades. Key Takeaways The 10-year plan works: Writing a detailed essay about your future life from waking to sleeping can manifest remarkable changes, but requires genuine commitment and timeCourage trumps confidence: Confidence only comes from successful repetition of past experiences; courage is what you need to step into the unknown firstRedefine failure: The only real failure is giving up on yourself—everything else is just losing, which is part of the natural process of growthFear is involuntary: Our reptilian brain creates fear to protect us from uncertainty; we can't eliminate it but can control how we respond to itDeep listening is a skill: True listening means following your conversation partner rather than waiting for your turn to talk; preparation enables this flowResearch creates magic: Spending hours in "wormholes" of research allows you to meet guests wherever they want to go in conversationLife stages bring different challenges: Each decade has its focus—twenties for experimentation, thirties for establishment, forties for plateau-breaking, sixties for "if not now, when?"Create your own opportunities: Rather than waiting to be invited into the "best band," build your own stage and invite others to join youAI can't replace soul: While AI excels at combinatorial creativity and research assistance, original creative work still starts in human brains and heartsLongevity builds influence: Staying committed to work for decades allows you to evolve, improve, and eventually lead in ways that short-term thinking cannot achieve Daring Creativity.

    Dare to choose what matters - Thiago Maia

    Brazilian animator and Cookie Studio founder Thiago Maia shares his journey from a creatively free childhood in São Paulo to building a successful animation studio in London, followed by a mental health breakdown that forced him to redefine success.  ~ Growing up surrounded by Japanese culture and his mother's art gallery, Thiago developed a "magician" approach to creativity—saying yes first, then figuring out how to deliver. After moving to the UK with limited English and two suitcases, he worked his way up from serving coffee to running his own studio. Despite outward success, Thiago experienced severe depression in 2021 that nearly cost him his business and marriage. Through therapy and honest conversations, he learned to prioritize freedom over growth, scaling down his studio to focus on what truly matters. Now divorced but happier, he channels his energy into being the father he wants to be and advocates for mental health awareness in the creative industry. Key Takeaways Say yes, then figure it out: Thiago's "magician" approach involves accepting challenges and learning the skills needed afterward, building confidence through problem-solvingFreedom trumps growth: Running a larger studio doesn't equal more freedom; sometimes scaling down provides the creative liberty you originally soughtMental health isn't weakness: Breaking the "boys don't cry" mentality and seeking therapy can be life-saving for creatives carrying emotional burdensReconnect with existing networks: When rebranding or growing, leveraging established relationships proves more valuable than cold outreach to strangersGuide without controlling: As creative parents, providing tools and freedom to explore matters more than imposing predetermined paths on childrenHappiness requires honest self-reflection: Success metrics imposed by others may not align with personal fulfillment; regular self-examination prevents burnoutCultural influences shape creativity naturally: Thiago's Japanese-influenced aesthetic emerged organically from childhood experiences rather than strategic business planningLanguage barriers are temporary obstacles: Moving to a new country without fluency creates initial challenges but opens doors to perspectives impossible in your home environmentTherapy provides structured thinking time: Professional help offers dedicated space for reflection in an otherwise noisy, distraction-filled worldPurpose can evolve or remain undefined: Not having a clear "why" doesn't invalidate your creative journey; sometimes enjoying the process matters more than destination clarity Daring Creativity.
