Can Creativity Change the World? Sir Richard Taylor from Weta Workshop Thinks So.

In this episode of The Great Cause, Phillip Heath AM sits down for a recorded conversation with Sir Richard Taylor, co-founder and creative director of Wētā Workshop, for a fascinating conversation on the nature of creativity and what it takes to build a life in pursuit of excellence. Reflecting on his early years, Sir Richard shares how curiosity became his greatest superpower, an instinct that fuelled imagination, experimentation and a lifelong passion for making. Together, Phillip and Richard explore the important distinction between excellence and perfection, and how striving for the highest standards need not come at the cost of creativity or joy. Richard also speaks candidly about the people who shape our journeys, describing how those around us can become the true “life force” behind a meaningful and successful career. From collaboration to character, he outlines the attributes he believes underpin lasting success, and reflects on what he is most proud of across his remarkable career. The episode concludes with a simple but powerful insight: the importance of keeping the mind creative in the way it thinks, remaining open, curious and willing to see the world differently. A compelling conversation for anyone interested in creativity, leadership and the pursuit of meaningful work. See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Episode Neurodiversity: It's not whether you're smart, but how are you smart Cover

Neurodiversity: It's not whether you're smart, but how are you smart

In this episode, our host Phillip Heath AM sits down with renowned clinical psychologist and author Andrew Fuller for a rich, energising conversation about neurodiversity and the future of learning. Andrew unpacks what neurodiversity really means, why personalised education is becoming an expectation rather than an exception, and how understanding the way each young person is “smart” can transform their sense of purpose. We explore the idea that great education — and great parenting — is ultimately an act of treasure hunting: discovering strengths, uncovering passions, and helping young people find their meaningful contribution to the world. Andrew also shares practical insights on navigating self‑doubt, the vital role families play in shaping confidence, and his top tips for teachers working with neurodiverse students. A thoughtful, hopeful, and deeply practical conversation for educators, parents, and anyone committed to helping young people thrive.
