Thinking different every day.

In this enlightening episode of the RebelRebel Podcast, Michael Dean Dargie explores the innovative world of lateral thinking with the articulate Paul Sloane, author of "Lateral Thinking for Every Day."

Transitioning from a career in engineering and leading a software startup, to embarking on a mission to foster creativity in organizations, Paul’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. Through engaging discussions, Paul unveils the essence of lateral thinking as a tool for radical problem-solving, rather than settling for incremental improvements.

The conversation delves into Paul's daily regime of mental stimulation, the potential of AI in simulating creativity, and the critical need for ambitious thinking in solving global issues. Paul’s insights on nurturing a successful marriage, his fond memories of Luxor's historical allure, and his earnest desire to inspire his grandchildren, add a personal touch to this intellectually stimulating discourse.

With anecdotes and practical advice, this episode isn't just a peek into Paul’s innovative mind, but a call to action for aspiring entrepreneurs and established organizations to think differently, act courageously, and ignite the spark of innovation in their endeavours.
