Simon Dixon is co-founder of DixonBaxi an international branding agency. As a designer, creative director and strategic thinker, Simon has explored where creativity, design, and technology overlap for well over two and a half decades. We discuss so many great topics focused on confidence, rejection, and self-control. Simon shares some incredible insights you might not expect someone with over 2 decades of experience to say. His take on accessibility for people not just decision makers at companies is worth the listen alone. We also discuss: - Rejecting fear, self-doubt, and imposter syndrome - The bullshit ways in the industry you "should" work - The reward of taking risks and falling versus not taking them at all - Rejecting the idea of settling and not falling into the comfort trap - The risk of creating bubbles when we don't celebrate differences - How creativity defines who you are - Your job is to focus on how you can improve your part of the world with the skills you have - Finding people to invite to your culture who add richness instead of people who replicate you Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/frequencies-by-wgi-moving-change-simon-dixon-dixonbaxi/id1532557377?i=1000522075598 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/46VsrqHgV2avlK8sySfHIQ?si=b49b5684c94f45d3
