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.
