Tom Lawton on Inventing, Truth Telling and Creating Wonder
This week’s podcast guest is Brit inventor Tom Lawton who has managed to marry the skill of design and engineering to create some really special products - including BubblePix which would allow you to take 360 degree panoramic views, way before smartphones... and beloved by many including Apple’s design team. Listen here .
In this wide-ranging conversation, we discuss Tom’s childhood and inclination towards curiosity and truth telling, his ability to persist in the face of adversity and how his latest design – Wonder - is taking the world by storm.. and currently trending on Reddit.
We also discuss the invention process and how inventors have to walk the incredibly thin line between breakthrough and breakdown, knowing when to walk away from a project even if you’re obsessed with it, and how his work might impact future generations.
It is such a fascinating insight into the mind of an inventor so if you want to be inspired, please do listen wherever it is you receive your podcasts:
