PROFITABLE TALKS...

On this episode of The Profitable Creative, host Christian Brim sits down with Christopher Lochhead, entrepreneur, bestselling author, and co-creator of the Category Design movement. Christopher shares why legendary businesses don't compete for existing demand—they create entirely new categories. The conversation explores how language shapes markets, why most companies struggle to define the problem they solve, and how category designers create different futures instead of incremental improvements. Christopher also discusses his latest book, Creator Capitalist, and explains why AI is shifting value away from knowledge and execution toward creativity, judgment, and innovation.
