Hosted by Simon and Calan, Doing A Little Better explores how creativity isn’t a luxury—it’s a catalyst for progress. In six bold episodes, we break down how creativity—when treated as seriously as finance or operations—can drive growth, unlock momentum, and fuel real impact. Whether you’re a mission-driven leader, founder, or creative, this podcast is your guide to moving from stuck to unstoppable. Subscribe and start doing a little better—every day.
Finale: Making the World Better, One Idea at a Time
In this season finale, we bring everything full circle.
After exploring how creativity can accelerate progress, solve problems, and drive true impact, we make our final case for why creativity is not just a “nice to have”—it’s an essential force for change.
We’re joined by Broccoli magazine founder Anja, a creative visionary who’s redefined what advocacy can look and feel like through culture-forward storytelling. Together, we unpack how art, aesthetics, and strategy intersect—and why that intersection matters more than ever.
If you’re working on something that has the potential to make the world a little—or a lot—better, creativity might just be the accelerant you need to get there. This episode is a call to action: think about how creative strategies could propel your own ideas forward.
If you’re ready to take the next step, we’re here to talk and collaborate. Whether you agree, disagree, or want to dive deeper into any of the concepts we’ve discussed, we’re eager to continue the conversation and work together to make a difference.

The Art of Getting Unstuck – Using Creativity to Break Through Stall Points
Every organization—no matter the size or mission—eventually hits a stall point: a moment when progress slows, momentum fades, and the path forward feels unclear. In this episode, we unpack what those moments really look like—and how creativity can act as a powerful tool for breaking through.
In this episode, we sit down with Aaron and Joel, co-founders of Empath Labs—a mental health innovation company creating tools at the intersection of empathy, technology, and social good. They walk us through their journey from early momentum to a moment of strategic standstill, where it became clear: the real barrier wasn’t the product—it was the positioning.
Together, we explore what stall points look like up close, why even deeply mission-driven teams can lose traction, and how ALBC helped them zoom out, reframe the challenge, and reposition their brand to move forward with clarity and purpose.
