Show notes
To kick off our end-of-summer season, we decided to do something special and look beyond the walls of our studio system for conversations about creativitity in business, and we’re so glad we did. None other than John Peto, the US head of Deloitte Digital, joins Nelson for a conversation that — even after all the eclectic journeys we’ve learned about this past year — still manages to impress with the sheer variety of experiences that John brings to his role. Former cattle farmer? Check. One-time commercial fisherman? Check. Past life as a gossip columnist in Hong Kong? Check. This episode is proof positive that our diverse and individually creative paths to Deloitte Digital is what makes us special — don’t miss this one.Timestamps:Tell me about the difficulty of growing sugar beets in northern climates. | How did you get into cattle farming? | How was it growing up, as a farmer? | Did Canada feel like the center of the world? | Tell me about your commercial fisherman stint. | Did you go straight into journalism after your fishing career? | Was there a pattern in all these odd jobs? | Did you find something that made you succeed as a recruiter? | Are you reconsidering your own story during this time? | Was it a simple transition from selling people to selling ideas? | What has been your journey leading a creative sector? | Nelson's two questions. |
