Nathan Newman is a London-born creative entrepreneur whose career spans music, film, technology, and business innovation. A self-taught guitarist who earned scholarships, graduated university as the first in his family, and founded his first company while still studying, Nathan built his journey through persistence, curiosity, and the ability to bridge artistic and operational thinking. His path includes composing for an award-winning film, co-founding successful creative and tech ventures, caring for a mother with early-onset dementia, navigating health challenges, and reinventing himself during the pandemic through meditation, invention, and new creative exploration. Today he leads projects at the intersection of creativity and technology, helping creators access tools and opportunities that didn’t exist before.

In this session, Nathan reflects on the tension and harmony between being an artist and being a businessperson - two completely different worlds that, in his experience, must be woven together for real success. He shares how creativity, planning, communication, and honest collaboration define every venture he leads, and why long-term discipline matters more than overnight wins. Nathan discusses building brands with intention, navigating extreme personal pressures, delegating with intelligence, setting boundaries, and maintaining mental clarity through meditation. He breaks down how to plan effectively, communicate across diverse teams, and grow ideas into meaningful products. His message is grounded and practical: success comes from consistency, communication, and doing things well - with purpose and joy.
