Welcome to the Spark Ideas podcast. This is a show about starting things, about empowering people to connect with others, and about making a difference in the world through collective action. In each episode I have the privilege of discussing foundational ideas of life and work with some of the most insightful leaders across a range of industries, from technology to hospitality; from journalism to sports. You will be inspired by how they bring these ideas to life, to help you apply them in your own work and life, to spark your own journey.

Spark is an unconventional business book. It has been built on the idea that coming from a perspective of 'getting' something is a severely self-limiting position. Instead, a career should be seen as an opportunity to give - to your funders, your team, your customers and the world at large. Doing so, the authors argue, can lead to expansive possibilities. At the same time, however, people should be averse to bloat, bureaucracy, and everything that comes with achieving a certain level of inert mass.
