EP1: Lisa Wrake — When Magic Shows Up at Work: The Creative Director Who Trusted Her Instincts

In this inspiring and wide-ranging conversation, I sit down with British creative director Lisa Wrake to explore the beautiful (and sometimes bizarre) intersections between creativity, spirituality, and the corporate advertising world.Together, we unpack what it means to stay creatively alive in high-pressure environments, how spiritual insight weaves into professional life, and why UFOs, quantum physics, and Buddhism aren’t as far from the boardroom as you might think.From Close Encounters of the Third Kind to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Lisa shares how a lifelong sense of wonder has shaped her path—and how she stays connected to something bigger while navigating work, grief, and the creative process.We also reflect on the books that changed us, the subtle magic of intuition, and the role of consciousness in navigating both deadlines and the divine.✨ Enjoy the episode?
