“Work hard and deep focus are the most important things we can do”

“You shouldn’t try to be someone else - you have to be you”

“I’m a stubborn mule”

"The quest isn't becoming less, the quest is how to become more. How do we dial up the crazy shit more?”

“Sometimes you're in a part of your life where you're at a crossroads and you have to turn left or right. You just don't know which one.”

Welcome to the 100th episode of The Common Creative podcast! 

To celebrate, we’re delighted to welcome David Hieatt - a “Creative Jeanius” on a mission to use his entrepreneurial skills to make a positive impact. 

After leaving ad agency Saatchi and Saatchi, he built Howies into one of the most influential active sports brands in recent years. 

After selling it to Timberland, he co-founded The Do Lectures, voted one of the top ten ideas festivals in the world by The Guardian. 

More recently, he started Hiut Denim in his home town of Cardigan in west Wales. A town that used to have Britain's biggest jeans factory. Its purpose is to get 400 people their jobs back. 

David has a cult internet following, and has spoken at Apple, Google, Red Bull and many other top companies and conferences. David has written two Do Books, Do Purpose: Why brands with a purpose do better and matter more (2014) and Do Open: How a simple email newsletter can transform your business (and it can) (2017). David first self-published The Path of a Doer in 2010. Ten years on and still as relevant as ever, the book has been reissued by The Do Book Co.

Tune in now for insights, inspiration, and a deep dive into the world of entrepreneurship, sustainability, and doing something positive in the world.

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.
