E8: John Spencer Williams: Author of F**k Work Let's Play, on breaking free to do what truly feels right

In this episode, we speak with visionary, author and coach John Spencer Williams.

John is best known for his three amazing books "Screw Work, Let's Play", "Screw Work, Break Free", and "F*** Work, Let's Play". He is a standing judge at The Business Book Awards, and Founder of The Ideas Lab, where he has worked with and inspired thousands of entrepreneurs.

John shares his journey and insights on inspiration, creativity, and play, including:

• How he used to be a 'shadow artist'
• How life is empty and meaningless... and why that's not necessarily bad!
• Why literally none of us will actually be remembered
• How a challenging start to life can still lead to great success
• What a 'Scanner' is and how a one-off 'Scanners Night' turned into a profitable enterprise
• Why we all need to 'Play' more, and what Play really means
• How AI is taking artists' jobs first
• How to end perfectionism
• The importance of 'super-niching' when starting a business
• Why nothing is truly a creative act until it is shared with others
• How you simply need to start by doing the thing you feel most like doing
