Would you like to unlock the creative, imaginative and innovative potential in your team or organisation…BUT…don’t want to listen to another serious podcast which offers 7 steps, 5 habits, 3 mantras, and a hard sell in a pear tree? Then join ‘The Occupational Philosophers’, a ‘not-so-serious’ podcast with Simon Banks (middle-aged Australian surfer man, artist and published author) and John Rice (middle-aged British man with a love of curiosity and philosophy) as they chat with a ‘clowder’ (great word!) of curious cats from the fields of Comedy, Academia, Philosophy, Neuroscience, Psychology, Design, Marketing, and Business, to explore how you, your team, and your organisation, can develop your curiosity, spark your creativity, and free your imagination, so you can grow your business and your people….sounds great huh?! But don’t just take our word for it, read what our listeners think: “Worth a listen, one of them has a strange Australian accent” “They’re not philosophers, they’re idiots” “If you like business, philosophy, humour, creativity, and imagination, then have a listen - if not, then I would leave well alone” http://www.occupationalphilosophers.com

In Episode 21, The Occupational Philosophers re-dive into the business, life, and leadership lessons we can learn from three very well-known artists - Salvador Dali, Andy Warhol, and Picasso.
Along the way they explore:
- How innovation happens when we join the dots and make connections from wildly different things
- How we need to be open to change and constant reinvention
- The importance of not overthinking, just get started and the thinking will come
- Why we need to be open to all types of thinking styles
- How curiosity and asking why can change the way you see the world and the life you live. If you're curious, we can see unseen opportunities
- How great things can happen at the intersection of art and science (or any intersection of different fields)
- Why you should never hide your light under a bucket and also be careful with cutlery experiments in bed
- How the setting of a joyous intent can set your day up for a little magic
As with all episodes, The Occupational Philosophers conduct a thought experiment called "Things artists do"
As always, there are some great lessons and ways to bring more imagination, creativity, and curiosity into your workplace and how to live a most interesting life in the process.
They hope you enjoy the show.
