This week, we had...

01

A fitting trailer for creative breakfast.

05

A podcast that explores why we overlook our own potential to do great things.

We live in a world that celebrates and rewards talent.

In doing so, my guest today believes we also overlook our own potential to do great things.

A brilliant campaign by Oglivy, a true definition of a plot twist.?

07

The other face of San Francisco.

08

An interesting and remarkable challenger entering the EV market.?

And finally, a bit of fun from a globally renowned keyboard player and one of the most amazing keyboard virtuosos of our time.

"creative breakfast – fuel for your best creative work" is a weekly newsletter collaboratively written by a group of incredible creative minds, made from the remarkable things that caught their eye this week. It's an attempt to provide a small oasis of signal in the desert of noise. To say, “look at this…”. To reply, “that's interesting… “. And then ask: "…what does that mean for my work, my business, my craft?"
