In pursuit of challenging the Zimbabwean pharmacy system, Dudzai set out to make the lives of patients a lot easier.

#8 Lights, Camera, Creativity with Charlie Posnett

From a young age, Charlie was always encouraged to let his imagination run wild. He was inspired to never let boundaries or rules stop him from being creative. This outlook has taken him on many adventures, one of them was having me as a roommate, and onto the path of photography and videography. From his humble beginnings as a YouTube travel vlogger to running his own production company  and everything in between, Charlie shares his story with me in the 8th installment of the Infinite Creativity Podcast.

#7 Unleashing Creative Potential with Salsabil Thabti

As a Finance specialist, Salsabil used to think that she had no creative potential because creativity was only for artists. But, when she co-founded YouthHub, she began to realise just how creative she really is.   Since unleashing her creative side, Salsabil has been on a mission to help the children of Tunisia to unleash theirs. YouthHub is designed to guide children into becoming social entrepreneurs and help them see their innovative ideas come to life so they can solve social problems in their communities.    I was fortunate enough to cross paths with Salsa at the Watson Institute in Boulder, Colorado in 2018. Her amazing work and efforts to promote creative thinking have been an inspiration to me ever since.

#6 The Magic of Creativity with Arnie Jacobson

Arnie Jacobson won’t admit it, but he’s a bit of a marketing legend. Over the course of his career he helped brands like Nike and Levi’s to connect with their customers and tell their stories to the world. Now that he’s retired, he sits on the board of Intercambio (https://intercambio.org/ [https://intercambio.org/] ) where he advises the organisation on how to convey their messages of the special work they do. During my time at the Watson Institute in Boulder in 2018, I was lucky to have Arnie as a mentor for Zimbowties and we’ve kept in touch ever since.
