When we look to someone for answers, 'I don't know' is maybe the last thing we want to hear. But it could be one of the best things a leader can say - a gateway to honesty, curiosity, and flexibility, to a bigger picture, to much better decisions, and to a revolutionary process called 'blindspotting'. Renowned leadership and management thought leader and author Dr Kristin Ferguson leads Osher through this process, with examples of just how much it can change our business and personal lives.

Andy Griffiths is one of Australia's most successful children's book authors, who drew on his experience as a school teacher to redefine what it was that made kids want to read. Anyone who reads books to their kids knows that some are just excellent, and some are pretty ordinary. This conversation peels back the curtain on what makes kids actually want to read – not what we think they should read, but what gets them genuinely excited to turn the page. And in writing about poos, bums, and wees - all in the service of getting more kids to read - Andy has sold Millions and millions of books. As far as Andy is concerned - sometimes the best stories have absolutely no moral lesson whatsoever. There's also a brilliant take on how limiting yourself creatively – like writing a story in just 50 words – can actually make your work better. He brings insights into creative writing, childhood development, and the publishing industry which is really fascinating. It's a conversation about imagination, creativity, and why sometimes the best thing we can do for our kids is let them eat a little dirt.

We find Anne struggling to descend from the exhilarating heights of public performance back into the gentle valleys of everyday life. The formation of the Story Club, a haven for conjuring tales and fostering friendships, becomes Anne's gentle rebellion against the mundane. With each club meeting, we witness the articulation of inner worlds that pulsate with the kind of romance and daring that Avonlea's quiet life denies its young dreamers. The chapter subtly mirrors the trajectory of adolescence itself — a phase glittering with the possibilities of what lies ahead and rich with the potential for self-discovery through the playful yet serious craft of storytelling. Anne and her friends each grapple with their identities and ambitions in their stories: loyalty, jealousy, tragedy, and triumph crowd their narratives, perhaps as a way of mastering their apprehensions about the future. This chapter not only underscores the necessity of creative outlets for youthful exuberance but also revels in the sheer joy and community building that shared stories can forge.

I got to spend a lunch break with Bobby Wesley, co-host of the Orlando Story Club and someone who hosted a solo show at the Orlando Fringe Festival. Bobby is also a Marketing and Strategy Consultant who thinks every BLT should be legally required to be a BELT (add fried egg over easy). I chatted with Bobby and we discussed how he got involved with the Orlando Story Club. We spoke about what Orlando Story Club is and I asked his advice on how you get out of your comfort zone to stand up and speak in front of an audience. We spoke about his decision to do a show at the Orlando Fringe Festival. We spoke about his creative process and how he always has a pen and paper to write down observations and thoughts. We also discussed his experience working with clients doing Marketing Strategies and if there is a common thread he sees between his clients and storytelling. Lunch with Biggie is a podcast about small business and creatives sharing their stories and inspiring you to pursue your passion, with some sandwich talk on the side. Created, edited, and produced in Orlando, FL by Biggie- the owner of the sandwich-themed clothing brand- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Deli Fresh Threads⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠  Bobby Wesley + Orlando Story Club Social: ⁠⁠⁠Bobby Wesley IG⁠⁠⁠:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/thebobbywesley/ Orlando Story Club IG: https://www.instagram.com/orlandostoryclub/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Orlando Story Club Website⁠:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://downtownartsdistrict.com/orlando-story-club/ Biggie's Social:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Deli Fresh Thread's Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/delifreshthreads/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Podcast's Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/lunchwithbiggie/⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Podcast's Facebook Group⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/lunchwithbiggie⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Podcast's Twitter-⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/LunchwithBiggie⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Deli Fresh Threads⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://DeliFreshThreads.com --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lunchwithbiggie/message
