Hi everyone, it's Mark Stenson and you've reached our podcast unlocking your world of

creativity where we get to talk to creative talent all over the world in

publishing and film and animation, music, even restaurants, hospitality,

and learn how they get inspired for creative thinking.

Learn from their experience on the tools and formulas and processes they use to produce their work and most of all get inspiration to make the connections and get our own creative work out into the world.
