The Occupational Philosophers - A not-so-serious business podcast to spark Creativity, Imagination and Curiosity

In Episode 41 The Occupational Philosophers chat with Tiffany Markman, an international speaker, trainer and writer, known for her work on communication, messaging, marketing and more.

She’s collaborated with over 450 brands worldwide — both big and small — over the last 17 years, encountering writing that ranges from the sublime to the absurd. She’s also delivered keynote addresses, created masterclasses and presented training in 14 countries.

She likes her coffee strong and black, her paragraphing short and tight and her apostrophes in all the right places. She also has insatiable appetite for reading about cults, multi-level marketing schemes and crypto scammers who fake their own deaths!

• The global study that explores the 4 creative competencies which will help boost your own creative awesomeness
• Why you need to capture & record your ideas…without judgement!

• How to immerse yourself in different environments and seek out new stimuli which will feed into your work
• The top 3 tips to be a successful freelancer
• And why you should never, ever, be an insular arsehole!

As always, there are some original thought experiments and this time they have:
