Should the business title CEO mean “Creative Empowerment Officer”? 


Confronted by a gunman who had raided the bank branch where she worked, our special guest Lexi Airey realised that, in her short life, she hadn’t had a chance to experience life to the full.
So, she declared that she would never work in a bank again and took a job glassing the bottom of boats.


After taking two degrees and moving from the UK to Australia, Lexi is now one of the youngest CEOs in the Australian financial services industry (she’s CEO of Gateway Bank). She is also an artist, sculptor, writer, and stand-up comic.  


This episode is littered with powerful creative insights from someone who oozes creativity from inside one of the most structured industries in Australia. 
If you’re keen to understand ‘the opportunity of constraints’ or what ‘happy accidents’ can mean for your career, tune in and find out!

The Common Creative - But Never Ordinary A podcast series with Paul Fairweather and Chris Meredith
The worlds of business, home and play are all starved of creativity.  From an early age, we’re taught how to analyse, critique and simplify but the tools for exploring, ideating and creating are assumed to be instinctive.  The Common Creative is all about bringing creativity back into everyday life - understanding the essence of creativity and making creativity a common as a loaf of bread and as well understood as a common language.
Hosts Paul Fairweather and Chris Meredith are both creative thought-leaders and have been bonded by a common passion for creating and sharing something new and inspiring every day. Paul paints a watercolour of the household object and posts the image on IG “@everythink”, Chris photographs the same beach each and every day and posts the image on IG “@thisisbalmoral”
By day, Paul Fairweather is a Brisbane-based, speaker, author,  mentor,  architect and artist. Chris Meredith is a Sydney-based, business coach, innovation consultant, and award-winning photo-artist.
Each podcast explores a different aspect of creativity. Recent topics have included: Energy, Time, Constraints and even the Impact of Covid-19 (why not?!) 
The podcasts are ideal for anyone looking to get out of a rut and deliver stuff that goes beyond the norm.
