On Your World of Creativity, we travel around the world talking with creative practitioners who turn ideas into impact. In this special roundtable episode, Mark brings together leaders from film, animation, hospitality, consumer brands, immersive experiences, and big-tech UX to explore one powerful theme:
Teamwork.
When creative outcomes depend on dozens—or even hundreds—of contributors, how do you align vision, manage complexity, and still leave room for magic?
Today’s Panelists
- Michael Robinson — Hotel & Hospitality Operations Leader
- Diego Pulido — Lead UX Designer, Amazon (formerly Google, Walmart, Adobe, JPMorganChase)
- Matt McLean — Organic Consumer Juice Brand Founder
- Tom Bairstow — Event, Concert Production & Immersive Visual Experiences
- Rich Magallanes — Children’s & Animated Content Producer
- Steven Puri — Focus app creator, ex-studio exec/producer Fox, DreamWorks, Sony
Together, they share real-world lessons from film sets, animation studios, hospitality teams, live events, consumer brands, and product design at scale.
In This Episode, We Explore:
- Creativity as a Team Sport. What great collaboration actually looks like across industries—and why creativity doesn’t happen in isolation.
- Aligning Vision Across Many Contributors. How leaders communicate creative direction clearly when working with writers, designers, engineers, performers, vendors, and operational teams.
- Conflict, Constraints & Creative Breakthroughs. How budget limits, timelines, technical requirements, and differing opinions can either block creativity—or unlock it.
- Leadership in Collaborative Environments. What it means to lead when you’re not the only decision-maker, how to build trust quickly, and why delegation is essential for scale.
- Practical Takeaways for Better Collaboration. From film crews to UX teams, each panelist shares what actually helps teams work better together—and what listeners can apply immediately.
