This new conversation with Rob Estreitinho went by in a flash, it was a brilliant chat and I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed recording it. I even wondered if it was a little abrupt in my managing the end of it, but I was just conscious of time.
We talked about meeting in London a few years ago, how Rob views strategy and defines it for people not in the creative communications industry, about his growing up in Portugal and what he enjoyed playing at and with growing up, about school bullying, then how he found out about this career and got into it.
“I noticed that I’m very bad at dealing with boredom because for me boredom is a missed opportunity for productivity. And I’m not sure I believe that anymore, you know? Especially if you do creative stuff for a living. You need boredom, and you need just some random vacuums, where you’re just literally staring at the wall or to the sky, and you’re just letting yourself be there for a little bit.”

I love Rob’s experimenting with art, creativity, and more on social media, I recommend checking out his Twitter and Instagram accounts.
“I Follow people on Twitter for the smarts, and people on Instagram for the arts.”
