'The Thoughtful Leader'.

Rei Inamoto is unique. And he’s an identical twin. His professional life has encompassed some of the most prominent and powerful leadership positions in the creative industries, including five years at R/GA and then as the worldwide chief creative officer at AKQA.

In 2016, he and his partner Rem Reynolds, launched Inamoto and Co - a "business invention studio" focused on design, data, technology and digital transformation.

Rei and I met in their offices in Brooklyn and talked about the impact of having a twin, of life as an outsider, and about the importance of humility.

A couple of days after we recorded our interview, Rei emailed me and said that he’d been thinking about one of my questions since we met, and wanted to give a more thoughtful answer. He included a recording and asked if I minded including it.

I didn’t mind. And I have included it at the very end of the show. It’s worth listening to. In fact, it’s potentially much more than that.
