The Maverick Minds Podcast - Unearthing Creative Gems is a curiosity cabinet for unearthing creative gems — hidden ideas, people, questions, and ways of seeing that deserve a little more light.


Each episode is a musing and explores something worth noticing: an unconventional idea, a quiet innovation, a reflective thread, or a person doing things differently. Some episodes are conversations; others are solo reflections that follow curiosity where it leads.


There’s no fixed cadence here. Episodes arrive when they’re ready.


Hosted by Cathryn Lloyd, founder of Maverick Minds, the podcast invites you into the world of the unbranded mavericks.

    Maverick Musings Episode 8 Creative Acts of Kindness
    Dec 21 2021

    In this episode Cathryn and Danielle unearth kindness. What is the provenance of this humble human quality, the ability to show kindness, not only to people we know and love, but to strangers, and people we may not like that much? Why is it the perfect gift to give at Christmas and any other time? When in doubt – be kind.

    Have a safe, creative, and kind festive season.
