from What Are You Made Of? · host Mike "C-Roc" Ciorrocco

In this episode, Mike “C-Roc” sits down with Will Hammond, a creative strategist and business leader who has spent his career turning powerful ideas into growth, transformation, and equity-building opportunities for major brands around the world. Will shares his journey from struggling to generate ideas early in his advertising career to developing a repeatable framework for creative thinking and business problem-solving. He explains why the best ideas don’t come from staring harder at a problem, but from asking better questions, staying curious, and working backward from a bold vision. Together, Mike "C-Roc" and Will explore the connection between ideas and execution, the importance of alignment and belief within a team, and why great ideas can come from anywhere in an organization. Will also shares how businesses can move beyond simply solving problems and instead turn challenges into strategic advantages. From overcoming fear and perfectionism to taking action before you have all the answers, this conversation is packed with insights for leaders, entrepreneurs, and anyone ready to think bigger, move faster, and create unreasonable success. Tune in to discover what happens when you stop settling for good ideas and start building toward brilliance.
