Episode 5

The Power of Belief

In this soulful, surprising episode, art producer, artist and documentary maker Fiamma Montagu joins Chris Baréz-Brown to explore how meaningful creative work really happens.

Brilliant ideas rarely arrive fully formed — they emerge from courage, curiosity and the beautifully human chaos of making something that matters.

From orchestrating the monumental Tower of London poppy installation to chasing mammoths in Siberia and dreaming up modern pilgrimages, Fiamma shares stories that reveal the power of belief, values and human connection in bringing extraordinary projects to life. It’s a conversation alive with imagination, honesty and proper emotional depth - the kind that reminds us why authenticity still cuts through more than anything else.In this episode, you’ll discover:

How a clear intention and shared belief can mobilise thousands of people behind an idea that initially feels impossible.
Why authenticity and emotional sincerity matter more than slick strategy when you’re trying to move people.
How co-creation, community and simple acts of unity can spark collective momentum in divided times.
Fiamma’s reflections on art, humanity and why we must protect the depth of human experience in an increasingly transactional world.
The surprising truth that commercial success and soulful intention can sit beautifully side by side when the heart leads first.

If you’re craving inspiration, creative courage and a reminder of what people can achieve when they truly believe in a purpose, this episode will stay with you long after it ends.
