We’ve been working with Disruptive Live since they started. If you don’t know them you should! They have been live streaming stories and interviews from major technology shows for years, and they’ve now grown to three full time studios just off the South Bank in London. They’ve worked with and created content for some of the largest companies including Google, IBM, Lenovo, LinkedIn, and Microsoft, but also IKEA and Deliveroo, as well as supporting events like Pride in London. Their angle on creating video content comes from, and starts with, live streaming, rather than traditional video production and the approach that conventional film crews take. Their disruptive approach has come in to its own in this last 12 months when physical events have been off the agenda and when virtual, live and quality have been the watchwords.
Since April the team have been producing a regular, weeklyish, half an hour, live streamed show for me called Impossible Things with David Terrar. That title is inspired by the Arthur C Clarke third law that says “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic” along with the Queen in Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There when she says “Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast”. I cover a whole range of emerging tech and business transformation topics, with a special emphasis on collaboration and the future of work, and with some leadership and creativity mixed in.
Today is Episode 25 live at 15:00 UK time is with Lucinda Carney, CEO & Founder Actus Software. We’ll be talking about her product, her expertise in organisational psychology, HR challenges and strategy, podcasting (she’s on 99 episodes!), on being a change superhero, and her viewpoint on the future of work.
Next week on 17 February, Episode 26 will be R. Michael Anderson. He’s a (very tall!) Californian Software Entrepreneur, Professional Leadership Mentor, Author, Researcher transplanted to the UK. We’ll be talking about the 3 companies he founded with a big emphasis on leadership, and about his new book.
In two weeks on 24 February, Episode 27 will be Vlatka Hlupic. I first met her when she was lecturing at Westminster university, but then she published one of my favourite books The Management Shift. We’ll be talking about that, her subsequent book, her consulting organisation and the coaching she does.
The shows are live streamed on Disruptive Live’s mobile app, available at your favourite app store, and then they are subsequently published on demand on Twitter, Facebook Live, LinkedIn Live, YouTube and the disruptive.live website. If you want to catch all of the shows then download the app, hit the “on demand” button and scroll down to find the Impossible Things Show.

I really do appreciate the great job that the Disruptive team does in supporting this for me. Please check out what they do. They have a whole range content giving a very complete coverage of the tech space, with some top-tier business leader, CEOs, CTOs and CIOs. Why not sample what they do with Lucinda and I today at 15:00 – see you there!
