John Williams - Author & Founder of The Ideas Lab. I Guess We’re Not In Kansas Anymore...

 Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary...

Cecil Beaton famously said that and it's a clarion cry could be attributed to any one of my guests, and John Williams is no exception.  A  senior managing consultant at Deloitte he was set up for life until the day came when he could bare the beige existence no more and so  fucked it all off, swapping the trappings of predictability for a life of freedom, risk and edgy creativity, swearing he would never work another conventional day as long as he drew breath.

He now he runs the groundbreaking, job ruining, rule breaking The Ideas Lab which has helped thousands of people to break free from their commonplace existence to create their own successful businesses.

Not content with just changing people's lives, John is also the  best selling author of three books, translated into ten languages.

His new book is 'Fuck Work Let's Play: Do what you love & get paid for it' which is business book of the month in WHSmith travel shops.

John's and inspirational character who has faced and overcome many challenges in his lifetime and here he takes time to share his story and philosophical outlook in another raw and unguarded episode of the show.
