Video Interview: Mark McGuinness Talks Creativity with Philip Patston

cm 27 Mark McGuiness Interview from Creative Momentum on Vimeo.

If you’ve ever wondered about the faces behind Lateral Action, one of them is revealed in this this video interview I recorded with Philip Patston, an entrepreneur, consultant and comedian from New Zealand.

Philip is an experienced interviewer – his previous interviewees include creativity guru Sir Ken Robinson – and he asked me some great questions. Here’s Philip’s summary of our 30-minute conversation:

we caught up with Mark via Skype and canvassed a vast array of subjects from secret societies, fads, Michelangelo and brands, to Van Gogh, freezers and poetry! And beware – Mark advises against being too unique.

For more creative inspiration from Philip check out his other video interviews on Creative Momentum and follow him on Twitter.

Thanks Philip!

  • Mark, your interview by Philip shed light on your views and experiences in the creative field. After reading about you and going thru the 1st lesson, I felt that I should have been able to meet and listen to you.

    Though you are into spreading and nurturing creativity I am delighted you are so down to earth, easy to follow and understand and encouraging and inspiring. Yet what I like about your attitude is you are easily approachable though you being such a versatile creativity guru!

    More I would like to share my creative side with you via my emails and trust you will be generous enough to give your feedback.
