Ben Lakin: From Tattoos to Identity? How Innovation Helps People Become Who They Are
Professor Matt Freeman is joined by Ben Lakin of No Regrets to explore how AI is transforming the tattoo consultation process - and what this reveals about identity. As tattoos become more personal, the challenge isn’t design - it’s confidence. Traditional consultations struggle to translate abstract ideas into something permanent, creating uncertainty. No Regrets is tackling this with AI-powered tools that help customers visualise and connect with designs before committing. The result? A shift from choosing an image to expressing identity. This episode reframes innovation not as technology alone, but as a way of helping people feel confident enough to become who they are.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Marc Griffiths: To Spin or Not to Spin? The 4th Generation University
What if the key to how universities drive innovation isn't just through spin-out companies? What if it's really about spinning in - or spinning with? Professor Matt Freeman is back hosting Innovation Together: The Podcast, this time for a conversation with Professor Marc Griffiths exploring why the UK’s innovation challenge isn’t about generating ideas, but translating them into real-world impact. From “spinning with” instead of spinning out, to the rise of the 4th generation university, this episode rethinks how universities and businesses create innovation together. <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
