S1, Ep7: Damon Bryant | Creative Producer| The Go-Getter

Unlocking Creativity - A podcast by Daniel Brookes | Unlocking Creativity

By always being open to an opportunity, Damon Bryant's career has been varied, fascinating and unlike any other. Having left school at 16, Damon went on to start a film company with Jude Law and Ewan McGregor, became an agent, ran a nightclub and even became the Creative Director of the Lotus Formula 1 Team - a first for the sport. Now combining all of his past hats into his current company Bacchus Entertainment, we sat down together at Quo Vadis in Soho to discuss what he's learned through the years and how beating leukaemia has given him his go-getter attitude.

 

Three of the takeaways in this episode include:

 

  • How the worlds of Formula 1 and music proved to be a game-changing moment for Damon.

 

  • The reason stupid ideas are great. 

 

  • And why we should be saying yes to more opportunities that come our way.
