This is sort of a business podcast, but it’s really about interesting people who have designed their lives to thrive outside of the corporate box we’ve been put into. This one is for the rebels, the creatives, and the reluctant leaders. This is for people who dare to live + think outside, by design. Grab a helmet and buckle your boots because we get deep.

The host: My name is Lisa Slagle, and I’m a creative director, writer, and human woman dedicated to having as much fun as possible while creating meaningful, impactful work along the way. I love talking to people, asking big, existential questions, and exploring the intersection of storytelling and culture. For the last 14 years, I’ve owned a creative agency called WHEELIE, which I started from a clapped-out laptop and some soggy business cards that I used to hand out on chairlifts. It grew into a thriving company full of awesome humans, and I’ve gotten to meet and work with thousands of amazing creatives, marketing teams, VPs, CEOs, athletes, and entrepreneurs. I think the human experience is extraordinary, and this podcast features people who know how to design fun, interesting, creative lives on their own terms.www.wheeliecreative.com/podcast

    Alex Bogusky on Creativity As An Extension of Love

    Today's episode is kind of wild, and that comes as no surprise because today's guest is THE Alex Bogusky. Alex was creative director, then partner, then co-chairman of Crispin Porter + Bogusky and was named "Creative Director of the Decade" by Adweek in 2010. Alex led some of the most celebrated and revered ad campaigns of the last few decades. But he left the ad industry behind, and we get a glimpse into his new path in life.
    You're going to want your SCUBA gear for this one... Alex dives DEEP into topics like infinite consciousness, releasing ego, love, and meditative journeys. Take notes, re-listen a few times, and let it all sink in.
