Episodes
Written By

This episode, we’re joined by Adaire Byerly, who is a Brain and Behavioral Science Communicator, Performance Improvement Manager, and ex-Vogue model. She is also our second-time guest, and she is the founder and CEO of Entertainment Mindframe, a company enhancing the business of fame through brain and behavioral science.

Adaire Byerly has spent years studying the cognitive science behind creativity and show business, and has learnt plenty of things along the way. 

We talk about the business side of mental health and creativity, and how they influence each other. Although business comes up a lot in our conversation, we mostly talk about the different types of creativity and why each one is so important. 

Creativity is a fascinating topic to discuss, and has left me with a lot to think about how I can work on and best utilise my own creativity. 

“Creativity is something that makes the world go round.” - Adaire Byerly
