Mat Wilk on Creativity, Chaos & Building with Purpose | Ep 35

Darren Flynn Season 1 Episode 35

Construction isn’t just about what we build — it’s about how we think, adapt, and create.

In this episode, I sit down with Mat Wilk to explore the intersection of creativity, chaos, and business in the construction industry.

Mat opens up about navigating ADHD, the art of focus in an unfocused world, and how he’s helping redefine consulting as a product — not just a service. From resilience and leadership to the evolving role of AI, this episode dives deep into what it takes to build smarter, not harder.

We cover:

  • The link between ADHD and creative innovation
  • How distraction can fuel great ideas
  • Why the future of consulting is productised
  • What AI means for architects, engineers, and builders
  • How grit, systems, and self-awareness drive long-term success

If you’re an entrepreneur, consultant, or creative thinker in construction, this one’s a must-listen.
