Myke is a nomadic creative at heart. He is a musician by trade, anti-perfectionist by design, and speaker by calling. He’s worked with Fortune 500 companies and bold startups alike, helping teams rediscover what work can feel like: alive, expressive, and full of possibility.
He doesn’t just talk about creativity, he performs it. His keynotes mix music, poetry, storytelling, and audience interaction. His offsites and workshops are designed to break routine and reconnect people with what really matters: culture, connection, and creativity.
He’s the author of Everyday Creative, a guide to bringing magic back to work and was named Breakthrough Speaker of the Year in Australia.
His life has been as eclectic as his work. He bought a beach bar in Cambodia by accident, spent a month in silence at an Indian ashram, and busked on city streets to survive. All of it feeds into his core belief that creativity isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s who we are.
In this engaging conversation, Mykel Dixon and Jon Kaye explore the intricate relationship between creativity, music, and the pressures of modern life. Mykel shares his journey from a young musician to a creative professional, emphasising the importance of following one's passions despite societal expectations. They discuss the challenges of balancing artistic expression with the need to earn a living, the influence of jazz on creativity, and the significance of improvisation in both music and life.
The conversation highlights the necessity of time and experience in the creative process, advocating for a deeper understanding of the journey rather than just the destination. Ultimately, they emphasize the call for greater creative expression in business and the world at large, advocating for a return to authenticity and connection.
