Adam Ferrier: Building a brand, nurturing creativity, and embracing the unconventional
Adam Ferrier: Building a brand, nurturing creativity, and embracing the unconventional Adam Ferrier has spent his life trying to understand people, and how to capture their attention. A consumer psychologist by trade, he wrote his master’s thesis on what makes some people “cool” and others not. The founder of creative agency Thinkerbell, Adam believes that brands and people must first “fit in” with the rules of their category before they can truly be distinctive and stand out. He prioritises creativity, and nurturing amongst his team, his work, and every day life. Consistently challenging conventions, Adam is a true creative leader, and whether you consider yourself a creative or not, his unconventional methods could change the way you show up and lead.

Beau Miles: Finding Adventure and Meaning in the Everyday
Childhood was full of adventure,it never had to be sought out or actively practiced, it happened daily, without thought or much effort, but as we grow the art of adventure begins to shrink.

If you had to grab two things from a burning building, what would you choose?
Co-hosted by Jack Riewoldt and Shane McCurry, TWO AM I is redefining modern leadership, one convo at a time. We invite extraordinary individuals to tell their story through two objects. Big or small, trinket or treasure. Two things that explain who they are, and what matters to them.
Think of us like a supermarket for knowledge: tune in, grab what you need, then apply it in your everyday life. From sports champs to journalists. Builders to coaches. CEOs to musos. These are the fresh takes on leadership that don’t usually make the headlines.
Listen Curiously.
