People and organizations that inspire me
William Kamkwamba – The boy from Malawi (where I used to live), known from the movie The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind. He taught himself from library books how to realize his dream: to build a windmill to supply his village with water.
Rick Rubin – The ‘unknown celebrity’, master producer behind a lot of the music I grew up with, and founder of the legendary hip-hop label Def Jam Recordings, which once launched LL Cool J, Public Enemy and the Beastie Boys. He wrote a wonderful book about what it means to be creative: The Creative Act.
Pixar – A great example of a company where creativity and the pursuit of the highest quality are central, which has become the core of their culture. The book Creativity, Inc. gives a fascinating insight into how they achieved this.
What I like to do in my spare time
Lots of eating out and traveling for my wife’s company. Obsessively watching documentaries and listening to audiobooks and podcasts.
This track kicks off my weekend
Fight the Power – Public Enemy
