Podcast: Technically Creative by KoobrikLabsPublished On: Wed May 21 2025
Description: As we near the end of Season One, we’re doing something different. In this special compilation episode, host Orlando Wood revisits one of the most revealing questions he asks every guest: What’s the biggest f**k-up you’ve ever made — and what did you learn from it? From feature directors to post-production heads, casting giants to brand leaders at Google, this episode is a raw, funny, and unexpectedly moving look at the failures that shaped some of the most respected voices in the creative industries. What starts as a conversation about mistakes becomes something deeper: about instinct, grace, ego, money, burnout, and the terrifying freedom of getting it wrong. Featuring stories from: – Eran Creevy (Welcome to the Punch, The Gentlemen) – Ralph Taylor (Bonhams) – Kate Morrison (Google) – Lee Pavey (Electric Theatre Collective) – John Papsidera & Kim Winther (Oppenheimer, Tenet, Yellowstone) Orlando and guests explore: 🔹 Why failure is often the prerequisite to doing great work 🔹 The cost of ignoring your creative instincts 🔹 How vulnerability and leadership go hand in hand 🔹 The email that almost leaked a major studio film 🔹 The real lessons behind losing half a million — or half a continent Whether you’ve made your first mistake or your fiftieth, this one’s for you.
