The Podcast
What makes us original? Why do we conform? And how can we harness our distinctive ways of thinking to change what's possible?
The Origineurs podcast returns in mid-2027, timed with the launch of an insightful research study into originality.
Through fascinating psychological insights, remarkable real-world stories and conversations with people who challenge convention, we'll explore the questions and ideas at the heart of the research, and discover fresh perspectives that might just change the way you think.
