#165: Scott Morrison: How To Lose The Eg...

Emma Gannon
About this episode

I am very excited to bring to you a mini series of four episodes in partnership with Dropbox around the topics of creativity and collaboration. As you know on this podcast I interview interesting creatives about the internet, their work, and how to get more done in less time. Dropbox is a collaborative platform for teams, enabling creativity through their product suite of tools which helps team's all over the world stay in flow and move work forward.


In these four special episodes, I interview the co-authors of Creative Superpowers, a book published by Penguin about re-learning key traits often forgotten from childhood, such as adaptability, curiosity, empathy and fearlessness by the authors Laura Jordan Bambach, Scott Morrison, Mark Earls and Daniele Fiandaca. Each author shared some fascinating stories and anecdotes with me, and have some seriously wise advice about how to live a more creative and fulfilled life. I felt super inspired after chatting to each of them and I hope you do too.


In this episode I speak to Scott Morrison. We discuss how to collaborate with others in an authentic way, how to lift up others in your team, why removing ego is crucial when being creative and the tools Scott uses when on the move.


I liked this quote from Scott: "Always hire people smarter than you."
