Future History

Most creative ideas never become companies.
Kenny Lee started with creative play. Today he runs a global company with a team, customers worldwide and a brand built at the intersection of play, design and entrepreneurship.
Kenny Lee is the founder and CEO of Light My Bricks, a global brand that transforms LEGO sets into illuminated display pieces through custom-designed lighting kits. What began as a passion project has grown into an internationally recognised business serving builders, collectors and creative hobbyists around the world. Kenny blends creativity with sharp commercial thinking, building a company that sits where play, design and entrepreneurship meet.
In this episode Kenny shares how creative play evolved into a structured, scalable company, why gut instinct must eventually be backed by data and numbers, what it takes to scale a passion project without losing brand integrity, how balancing risk and strategy shapes long-term decision making, why imagination still sits at the heart of serious entrepreneurship, what founders get wrong when chasing market gaps instead of solving their own problems, how creativity, business and community intersect through LEGO culture, and lessons learned from years of growth, close calls and building something that lasts.

Hiroyasu Tsuri is a visual artist whose practice spans studio painting, large-scale murals, and site-responsive installations. Drawing from experiences painting in public spaces across Japan, Australia, and Europe, Hiroyasu’s work explores gesture, movement, and the relationship between physical action and form. His approach emphasises process, intuition, and collaboration, positioning making itself as a central part of the artwork rather than just the final outcome.
This episode was shot on location at Backwoods Gallery during the running of Hiroyasu’s exhibition ‘Physical Action as Thinking Form’. He shares how physical action shapes his creative process, why movement, gesture, and making are inseparable from thinking, what it means to treat process as part of the artwork rather than just the outcome, how working in public spaces and murals has influenced his studio practice, why relinquishing control can open space for intuition and chance, how tools, materials, and the body collaborate in the act of making, what non-verbal communication reveals about creativity and connection, how this philosophy extends beyond art into life and decision-making, and so much more.
