    Ogilvy On Air - Episode 1: I Believe I Can Fly with Richard Browning, CEO & Founder – Gravity Industries

    Welcome to the inaugural episode of Ogilvy On Air! Join this episode's host Emily St-Clair Johnson as she kicks off our new series with an incredible guest: Richard Browning, pioneering inventor, entrepreneur, and founder of Gravity Industries - the company behind the world's first jet suit.​ ​In this captivating conversation, Emily and Richard delve into the true nature of innovation and why it is more crucial now than ever before. Richard shares his unique perspective on the power of risk as a fuel for progress, the vital role of "recoverable failure", and how organizations often stifle creativity by shying away from uncertainty. Discover why he believes that true innovation lies not in training everyone to be an innovator, but in nurturing those natural "disruptive" thinkers and allowing space for their unconventional ideas to flourish.​ ​From his journey as an oil trader and Royal Marine to creating a multi-million-dollar flying company, Richard offers candid insights into the tenacity and resilience required to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges. He also shares a powerful, personal story that has driven his relentless pursuit of the extraordinary.​ ​Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that demystifies innovation, challenges conventional thinking, and inspires a renewed appreciation for the human capacity to achieve the impossible.​
