This week, we went fishing in a Levi's Creek to catch TED speaker, co-author of ‘The Creative Nudge' and enthusiasm enthusiast, Kevin Chesters. His Twitter bio says he's a “tall bald bloke from Penzance”. And whilst that might be true, it does rather undersell the fact that perched atop that tall body, and in that bald bonce, are some serious smarts. For Kevin is a Chief Strategy Officer, formerly strategy head at Ogilvy, Wieden + Kennedy, Saatchi, Dentsu, with a client-side cameo at BT, a visiting lecturer in creativity at several universities, a TEDx speaker, co-author of ‘The Creative Nudge' and an absolute advocate for walking in stupid and talking in smarts.  We discuss his journey from his beginning manning boying a vegetable stall, flirting with journalism, getting past ‘A' in the careers dictionary, the importance of fostering creativity in all fields (including muddy ones), executional skill, breaking category norms, sifting through the interesting to find useful, enthusiasm, neurodiversity, walking in stupid, finding the world endlessly fascintating, big agencies, little agencies and so much more. ///// Kevin's website  Follow Kevin on LinkedIn Here's his book, co-written with the brilliant Mick Mahoney His TED Talk Levi's – Creek by BBH, 1993 ///// Timestamps (03:17) - Kevin's early jobs and first steps in the advertising industry (07:34) - His initial lack of interest in advertising and his pivot from journalism (10:04) - The impact of iconic ads like Levi's Creek on Kevin's career (19:04) - The value of diverse experiences in building a successful career (23:03) - Defining creativity and its importance in business and life (27:37) - Breaking category norms (31:06) - The concept of bravery in marketing (34:42) - Bringing Fresh Perspectives to Meetings (36:38) - Practical tips for fostering creativity in the workplace (45:05) - Listener questions including Mark Earls about the role of enthusiasm (47:08) - The impact of neurodiversity on Kevin's approach to strategy Kevin's book recommendations are:  The Creative Nudge: Simple Steps to help you think differently by Kevin Chesters and Mick Mahoney The Victorian Internet by Tom Standage Legacy by James Kerr An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth by Chris Hadfield The Rebuilders by Sara Tate & Anna Vogt (Sara's appearance on Call to Action® https://gasp.agency/media/call-to-action/sara-tate) ////

Our special guest for our final episode of the year is our good friend Faris Yakob. He and his wife Rosie are the force behind the consultancy Genius Steals, a nomadic strategic and creative consultancy. Faris is also the author of a book about how advertising works through the lens of the concept of attention. It's called, Paid Attention which is now in its 2nd edition. He has been at a variety of media and advertising agencies throughout his career, including Naked Communications, McCann Erickson, MDC Partners and helped to found many others. He writes for Campaign, Fast Company, Contagious and other publications. And he thinks deeply about the state of the ad world - how its changing, what it does, how it does it, and what it means for us all. He sat down to talk to us before Thanksgiving about how media planning works, how brands and advertisers think about audiences, and how the stories we tell about youth cultures have been recycled and subtly upgraded since the invention of the teenager, to fulfill the hopes and dreams of not only the corporations who want them to buy stuff, but just as importantly, the people who make advertising and want to believe it is capable of doing something good in the world.This is our last episode of the year - we wish you a very happy and relaxing holiday season, and send our best wishes for the New Year.

Why did the U.S. and most other nations around the world do such a poor job of preparing for and reacting to the global COVID-19 pandemic? After all, we had earlier outbreaks, from HIV-AIDS to SARS, MERS, H1N1 and the Ebola virus.In his widely viewed 2015 Ted Talk, Bill Gates warned that "if anything kills more than ten million people in the next few decades, it's most likely to be a highly infectious virus." We knew about the danger, but failed to act. This episode looks at why humans are so bad at preparing for the future and how we can improve our thinking. Marketing strategist, Mark Earls, has studied behavior change for many years. He's the author of "Herd: How to Change Mass Behavior by Harnessing Our True Nature", and "Copy Copy Copy". Mark is now writing a new book, "Memories of Our Future."When we plan for what's ahead "we should consider multiple futures", says Mark. This doesn't usually happen, and "we find it much easier to have a simple story about how we got here. We overstate our confidence in the causality."Recommendations: Jim is now reading "Pacific", by Simon Winchester, a biography of the Pacific Ocean region and its role in the modern world.

For decades Alan Dershowitz has been on the front lines in the fight for civil liberties. He also has a refreshing take on the Trump phenomenon. "He was unpredictable: somebody who gave some people hope that maybe things won't be the same," says Dershowitz.
