Join host John Dodds at Café W.O.W for a warm, and insightful conversation with John Simmons, a brand strategist and writer who has shaped stories for global brands, penned novels, poetry, and much more.
 
From his King’s Cross roots to crafting tone of voice for companies like Guinness, Waterstones, and Air Products, John reveals how discipline, curiosity, and a notebook fuel his creative life.
 
Discover why he writes to think, how constraints spark imagination, and what a walk in the woods taught him about poetry. 
 
Whether you’re a writer, marketer, or dreamer, this episode is a masterclass in finding your voice and telling stories that matter.
