Unscripted podcast musings on business life, leadership, creativity transformation, and more. An unusual podcast with David Ayling-Smith and Peter Taylor. The Squid of Despair is a conceptual summation of what can go wrong, and often does, with mind-mapping or other creative techniques. Born from an idea for a book in 2010, David and Peter have revived this mythical creature, rising like a phoenix from the ocean waves (perhaps a bit soggy), to delve into all matters related to business life, leadership, creativity transformation, and the myriad of other work-life events that can disrupt a good night's sleep, all presented in the format of an unusual podcast.
