The chances that your life has been completely devoid of content without John Lloyd CBE’s involvement is slim-to-none. With a roster of work reading like a memoir of British cultural phenomena through sound and screen (QI, Blackadder, Spitting Image, and No Such Thing As A Fish to name but a few), his dedication to creating engaging content shines in lieu of career changes and runs of misfortune.

In a truly captivating discussion with Lee Cooper, John ponders many of life’s tribulations and the lessons to be learned from every hurdle that most would call “failure”. From the closed door of straight acting that opened up the opportunity to produce radio shows, right through to earning his rightful reputation as an industry icon, we’re taken on a journey through his highest highs and toughest challenges.

Lee and John discuss:

• John’s multinational childhood, and the values it taught him
• Reaching your full potential and finding your success, even if not in a conventional sense
• Focusing on ‘autotelic’ work - content worth doing for its own sake and not for others
• Learning more from failure than from success
• The evolution, and current barren state, of cultural movements that inspired particular art styles and creative trends
• Finding meditation in your work
