Ep 226: Shoplifting Ian Wright. What my Woolworth's ban taught me about creativity
Ben Tallon's Creative Condition Podcast
It took me a long time to acknowledge the shame of being caught shoplifting. At age 13, I stole an Ian Wright football figurine and got caught, earning me a UK-wide ban from Woolworth's department store.
It took years to own this one, but when I did, I saw so many lessons in the importance of the shadow self, what such missteps can teach us about our personality, and its value in our creativity.
