Ep96 Mykel Dixon - What If We Just Played?

Stand Out Life

Creativity is now the strongest economic currency and Mykel Dixon helps people and organisations rediscover their creative potential, reclaim their creative confidence and redefine their value as creative leaders, teams and brands. A jazz musician by trade with an unconventional career path, Mykel Dixon was awarded Australia’s Breakthrough Speaker of the Year in 2018. Known for bringing with him a grand piano and a backing band, Mykel calls all of us to step into our creativity. Sounds good right…but how the hell do we do that?? We combine intuition and conviction - follow what draws you and commit to action. It’s these two factors that have held Mykel in good stead in his career. As we sat down for this conversation, Mykel jumped up and grabbed a nearby guitar to have with him in the studio. As a result we weave music into this chat and this became a beautiful reflection of what could be described as his motto in life….’what if we just played?’ Mykel was a big catalyst for this podcast commencing in 2016 and it’s his creation that you hear as the intro and outdo to the Stand Out Life podcast. So it was inevitable that one day I’d get him into a studio for a chat. This conversation is the permission to create and share - relentlessly - and weaving of two friends having a chat. Soak up the beautiful creative expression that oozes out of Mykel Dixon.
