The Power of Being Weird: Cody Johnston on Regional Creative Strength 

The Power of Being Weird: Cody Johnston on Regional Creative Strength I’m Cody Johnston, known as The Weird Canadian — a creator, technologist, and music artist exploring the space where technology, creativity, identity, and reinvention collide.After spending over a decade building large-scale systems inside government and Fortune 500 environments, I stepped away from the machinery to start translating it — turning complex systems and lived experience into stories people can actually feel.Through content, conversation, and now original music, I explore Canadian identity, burnout, creativity, and what it means to build a meaningful life outside polished narratives and corporate lanes.  I don’t show up with answers — I show up with curiosity, honesty, and a willingness to sit in    the uncomfortable stuff long enough to make it useful.  Links  https://theweirdcanadian.ca/  https://www.instagram.com/the_weird_canadian/Tags:AI Music,Artificial Intelligence (AI),Digital Transformation,Entrepreneurship,Small Business,Software Development,Storytelling,Technology,Technology Adoption,podcast for creatives,creative podcast,podcast creator interviews,professional podcast,creative podcasts,podcast host interviews,creative podcast ideasSupport PEG by checking out our Sponsors:Download and use Newsly for free now from www.newsly.me or from the link in the description, and use promo code “GHOST” and receive a 1-month free premium subscription.The best tool for getting podcast guests:https://podmatch.com/signup/phantomelectricghostSubscribe to our Instagram for exclusive content:https://www.instagram.com/expansive_sound_experiments/Subscribe to our YouTube https://youtube.com/@phantomelectricghost?si=rEyT56WQvDsAoRprRSShttps://anchor.fm/s/3b31908/podcast/rssSubstackhttps://substack.com/@phantomelectricghost?utm_source=edit-profile-pagepodcast for creativescreative podcastpodcast creator interviewsprofessional podcastcreative podcastspodcast host interviewscreative podcast ideas
