Hey, welcome to another bonus episode of the Daring Creativity podcast. I'm back to unpack some of the gems from this week's conversation, pulling out those moments that deserve a second look and dig deeper in what makes them special. This week, I spoke to Ilana Raddick, the founder and creative director of Design is Yummy, a Montreal-based studio that spent two decades doing purpose-driven creative work for nonprofits, education, and arts and culture clients. In our conversation, we talked about what it means to slow down in a world speeding up, why thinking is becoming more valuable than making, and how a chocolate bar wrapper once got her job of her dreams. The episode, published a few days ago, was titled Dare to Shift Back to Human, and we unpacked 20 years of building something rare, a studio with genuine soul. If you haven't checked out the full episode, let me share with you four standout moments from our conversation.
