About this episode
I loved meeting Samantha (she's ace) and this was a fun chat about talent, creativity, intelligence, self-doubt, self-belief, imposter syndrome, courage, getting out of our own way and the challenge of turning an idea in our head into an 'actual' thing for everyone else (outside our head) to see, experience and enjoy. Samantha Wills is an award-winning designer, author, speaker, and advocate for the arts. Founding one of Australia's most popular jewellery brands from her dining table at just 21, which went on to be hailed as "Australia's biggest export since Vegemite." Her debut book, Of Gold & Dust, became an instant bestseller, chronicling her journey with raw vulnerability and humour, revealing the realities of a creative founder behind the highlight reel of social media and public appearances. Named a breakout star by The New York Times, Samantha's first venture into children's literature, Marigold's Magic Stars, was created to inspire children to recognise the importance and intelligence of their creativity, embodying the message, "You can't spell smart without art!"
