Creativity, community and the link to your wellbeing with Tom Morley

A Bit Of A Boost - A podcast by George Anderson - Mondays

If I look back at my life it’s been relatively straight forward. There was a bit of a course correction after I graduated with an engineering masters and moved into personal training, but from there on it’s more or less been a series of variations on the theme of wellbeing.   I’m always fascinated by people who have lived a more unconventional life and finding out what makes them tick and I was delighted to be joined on the podcast by the ex-Scritti Politti drummer, Rockstar Activator Tom Morley.   I met Tom at an event a few years ago and am a big fan of his work. His stories reel you in and give you snippets of a life spent crossing paths with cultural icons.  We talk in this episode about creativity, tribes and story telling rhythm, identity and human connection, and how it all relates to our wellbeing and sense of place.   I asked him to send me a bio to make sure that I got everything right and he replied with this:     “Tom Morley has just sent me this. He says, "I don't want people to follow me, or pass my details on to anyone, or think of me in any way that's business related. My whole way of being is serenading serendipity, chanting to chance and drumming up a storm for social justice.   All else is confetti in the wind. I've talked with the social media gurus and I wish them well.    During the pandemic the world moved to a different paradigm. You either feel it or you don't. I'm not out to teach anyone anything. I'm just saying, "OK, here we are on this day. Let's see what we can do together. Given the skills we have and the time we've got let's create something.   That's it."   This is what we created last Thursday, I hope it gives you a bit of a boost!   You can follow Tom on social media and his website: https://tommorley.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/tommorleyrockstar
