Episode SummaryWhat if creativity wasn't just something a few people do—but the way your entire company thinks, decides, and works?In this episode, Ivan Pols argues that the most effective organizations don't isolate creativity—they operationalize it. As Chief Creative Officer at what3words, Ivan has helped build a culture where story becomes strategy, feedback is infrastructure, and creativity isn't confined to a team—it's expressed across the company.We explore why “creative” is a word that often hurts more than it helps, how to build creative systems rooted in story and shared language, and what it means to protect friction and curiosity in the age of convenience and commoditization.Key TakeawaysCreativity isn't a department. It's a decision system, a culture engine, and a business advantage.The label “creative” often limits people. Real creative work happens when everyone contributes.Brand story isn't just marketing—it's the internal algorithm that drives decisions and direction.Friction isn't the enemy—done right, it sharpens thinking, focus, and collaboration.Creative operations can evolve from asset delivery to cultural architecture.Passive Listening to Active Thinking Use these prompts to reflect solo—or spark deep conversations with your team:Are you building a creative team—or a creative company?What labels are limiting your team's ability to think creatively?Does your brand story help your people make decisions—or just decorate your decks?What creative decisions are being made in your org—without creative input?Ivan Pols, Chief Creative Officer at what3words | Co-Founder, Truth & SpectacleIvan has led global creative work at agencies like Ogilvy and adam&eveDDB, launched viral campaigns like Diamond Shreddies, and now serves as the creative heartbeat of what3words.

Bell appeared in Rolling Stones' Shine a Light by Martin Scorsese, as well as the Israeli version of Big Brother. At age 18 Byrdie began modeling, appearing in numerous publications including Bloomingdale's and Club Monaco. Byrdie is the descendent of Colonel William Byrd II, the founder of Richmond, Virginia.The late Ted Bell was Vice-Chairman of the Board and World-Wide Creative Director for Young & Rubicam, one of the world's largest advertising agencies. Before becoming a novelist Bell was President and Chief Creative Officer of Leo Brunett Company. Bell also served as a member on the DOCA Committee for the US Department of Defense, and as an advisor to the Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy at the US Department of State.Bell wrote 12 novels in the Lord Alexander Hawke series before his unfortunate death in 2023. MONARCH, penned by Ryan Steck his long-time editor and friend, is entry number 13 in the Hawke series and a remarkable, gripping, and adventurous tale to get readers back into the legendary series that the late Bell started.Find More at: TheRealBookSpy.com and TedBell.com

What can we learn from one of the most complex AI projects in any museum today? What is the history of AI in museums? Can we add AI to our experiences without a complete renovation? How do you teach an AI about 775 different football teams? How can AI put visitors literally into a story? Is AI accurate enough for a museum? What about bias? Doesn't AI take away jobs? And how do you specify exactly what shade of college football orange you want to an AI — if you can only use words?

What makes people want to go to museum? How can they ensure they still remain relevant? I spend a lot of my time in museums. They inspire me, inform me and put me into mindsets I wouldn't otherwise be in. So I wanted to learn more about them.Episode Summary On this episode, I sit down with Matthew McNerney, Chief Creative Officer of Luci Creative, to explore the hidden psychology behind museum design. Matthew has worked on everything from the Lego House in Denmark to presidential libraries, science museums, and even the NASCAR Hall of Fame.Together, we dive into the ways museum spaces are meticulously crafted to shape how we learn, feel, and interact with history, culture, and ideas. We also discuss the challenges museums face today—from declining visitor numbers to evolving audience expectations—and what it takes to design experiences that are both educational and entertaining.Along the way, Matthew shares fascinating insights from his career, from how a single professor changed the trajectory of his life to the unexpected lessons learned from working on hospital play spaces. If you've ever been inspired by a museum visit or wondered why some exhibits engage while others fall flat, this conversation is for you.Guest Biography: Matthew McNerney Matthew McNerney is the Chief Creative Officer at Luci Creative, a museum and brand experience design firm that works at the intersection of curiosity and change. His work spans a vast array of projects, from designing experiences for the Lego House in Billund, Denmark, to working on presidential libraries, science museums, and the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Matthew's career in museum design began in an unexpected way — he originally considered becoming a wedding designer before a professor introduced him to the world of exhibition design.Since then, he has spent over 20 years in the field, crafting experiences that spark curiosity and create lasting impressions. His work is deeply influenced by behavioral science, storytelling, and the psychology of engagement, all of which help him transform physical spaces into immersive learning environments.Beyond museums, Matthew has also worked on brand experiences, including designing retail environments for New Balance and flagship stores for Tiffany & Co. His expertise lies in creating multisensory experiences that connect people with content in compelling ways.
