Yesterday’s first coffee companion runs a business involved in managing waste more effectively.
We talked about:
- the importance of finding space to meet with people without agenda
- the process of “divorcing” from a business partner
- shifting from being a software business to a professional services business
- the pressure of tech investment (and how the business becomes the product)
- Dan Lyon’s book Disrupted
- potential connections in the world of sustainability
Yesterday’s second coffee companion is a photographer, magician and comic.
We talked about:
- the mutual friend who introduced us (all in a nice way)
- the nature of magic tricks (and the disappointment common when finding out how they actually work)
- how much traditional card tricks rely on the standard 52-card deck
- how when I was very young one of our neighbours’ daughters was a magician’s assistant. I remember going to see her perform and being distraught when the magician attempted to saw her in half.
- producing things, and printing things
- making creativity relevant to corporate organisations
- whether indexing things makes people think some things are better than others
- how many card games aren’t about the highest score, but collecting sets
