The Ideatum Newsletter — Part 1
“Idea, Ideate, Ideatum”
Ideatum is a podcast about creativity. It is being developed by myself and Henry Arikpo and it will be hosted by us both. Our goal is to make the podcast a platform where creativity is celebrated.
We are both creatives in our own right: Myself, a poet and an author of twelve books; and Henry Arikpo, an industry veteran of over five years in the advertising and telemarketing space, an ad copywriter for some of the biggest brands in the world.
Furthermore, Henry Arikpo is an actor, a spoken word artiste and a very talented footballer. But most importantly, he is by far, one of the most creative people I have ever met, and what an exciting journey it will be to host this podcast with him.

The scope of this podcast will be limited to these four words — Idea, Ideate, Ideatum & Creativity.
