Ep 01: Think like a captain, act like a pirate

In this first episode of Who’s Elvis Around Here? Chris Baréz-Brown sits down with his old friend and creative powerhouse Keith Wilmot. Together they explore what it really means to lead with energy.

Keith Wilmot, former Coca-Cola innovator and now Chief People Officer at Norwegian Cruise Line, has had one hell of a journey. Along the way he’s learned that real leadership isn’t about process, it’s about people, passion, and the courage to break a few rules.

In this conversation, you’ll hear about:

  • Why great leaders should think like captains and act like pirates.
  • The day Keith brought a 600-pound white tiger into a meeting to jolt creativity to life.
  • The art of finding your Tiger Moment - that spark that changes everything.
  • How “all gas, no brakes” became a mantra for energy-fuelled teams.
  • Why energy, story and a bit of mischief are the true engines of leadership.

It’s bold, funny and full of practical wisdom on how to bring more life to the way you lead.

Because the world doesn’t need more management… it needs more Elvis.
