Cindy Gallop
Founder and CEO of IfWeRanTheWorld and Make Love Not Porn
“Crazy is what the rest of the world would be if they weren’t so afraid of what other people think.”
HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE A MAVERICK?
“I’ve a very subjective take on that because I don’t believe there are any such things as mavericks. I just believe there are people who see the future in ways that other people don’t. And ironically people who get called mavericks are often the most sensible, down to earth, straight-forward going people. In fact, their perceived maverickness is simply the fact that other people haven’t caught up yet.”

WHY CINDY WAS INTERVIEWED
I read about Cindy and how she was the Michael Bay of Business after she was recommended by another maverick Nik Badminton. Once Cindy read details of the project she was very happy to be interviewed. Cindy is focused, direct, purpose-driven and blunt in a good way.
HOW ARE CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION RELATED TO BEING A MAVERICK?
“I believe everyone should bring creativity and innovation to everything they do in a way that is true to them and their capabilities.”
IS THERE ANYONE WHO’S A MAVERICK THAT INSPIRES YOU?
“Everybody I meet.”
ADVICE FOR OTHER MAVERICKS
“Just be yourself and know the only person who can make things happen for you is you.”
