What can mushrooms teach us about Weird Wisdom® and Diversity of Thought? Turns out—quite a bit.

They grow in unlikely places.
They thrive in shadows.
They connect whole ecosystems underground.
They adapt. Fast.

Just like the best teams I work with.
In my work, we explore what it means to bring your whole weird, wise self to the table—even the bits that don’t usually get a name badge.

Because Diversity of Thought isn’t just about having different people in the room. It’s about actually hearing them.

So here’s to those who grow sideways, find the cracks, and keep showing up with clarity, creativity and curiosity.
The quietly unconventional.
The pattern-noticers.
The ones who remind us: innovation doesn’t need a spotlight—it needs the right conditions.

(Yes, this is really about mushrooms. And yes, they’re all my photos, taken during a recent trip through Tasmania’s Tarkine.)
