What is GETsidetracked?

One way creative ideas emerge is when your routine gets interrupted, when you get provoked or sidetracked. Most people see getting sidetracked as a problem as it seems like a distraction. If you search for books on getting sidetracked for example they are generally about how to stay focused and not get sidetracked! Most of our good ideas have come when we’ve explored what’s happened when we’ve been sidetracked. Out of that many side projects have grown. Jonny and Joel came up with some t-shirt designs on this theme for a series of webinars on creativity. They were so good that they then pondered whether to set up a platform for those. At the same time Jonny and Jon were working on a book Pioneer Practice and wanting to create a platform for people to be able to buy that. Somehow all of that came together through a few conversations and led to us setting up a business partnership between the three of us - GETsidetracked. The first project is Pioneer Practice which we hope you will love. It’s a book that is a collection of practical wisdom for pioneering presented in full colour. It will be a platform that we use for future projects when we next get sidetracked - the initial t-shirt idea may well be one. Watch this space.
