About this listen

Not Creative is the podcast that flips the script on creativity. Hosted by Natasha Szczerb, Managing Director and Co-founder of BADBERRIES, and Jessie Tracy, CEO of Velocity Partners, it brings together voices from both sides—the 'creatives' and the 'not creatives' who make it all happen behind the scenes. We unravel how creativity really works, from the sparks of inspiration to the people bringing it to life. This isn’t your typical creativity podcast. Expect fresh perspectives and a whole new take on what it means to be creative.


In each episode, we dive into the minds of creatives, problem-solvers, and the people who prove you don’t have to wear the ‘creative’ label to shape brilliant ideas.


Let's get into it!

    - The value of creativity in high-volume workflows

    - Why audience relevence matters even in the most practical outputs
