Why creative people think differently

Michaela Simpson, Behavioral Scientist

FOUR BENT CORNERS - Since 2010

Michaela Simpson joins The Corner for a fascinating conversation about creativity, behavioural science, ADHD, and the idea behind her philosophy of Unique Brains.

What if there’s no such thing as a “normal” brain?

Together, we explore why different thinkers often thrive in creative industries, how modern systems misunderstand productivity and intelligence, and why traits society labels as “distractions” may actually be forms of curiosity and creative processing.

If you’ve ever felt your mind works differently from the people around you, this episode may completely change the way you think about yourself.
