I’m Rob Lambert — helping people turn ideas into value through creativity, learning, and communication. “Here’s an Idea Worth Playing With” is where we explore the small sparks that make big systems work better.

What is Here's an idea worth playing with?

Here’s an Idea Worth Playing With is the conversation space of Cultivated — a modern publishing house for better work.

This is where ideas begin.

In occasional short episode, I explore early-stage thinking: the questions, tensions, and half-formed insights that surface before ideas are ready to be written, taught, or codified. It is a place for thoughtful exploration — not finished arguments.

These are not polished frameworks or conclusions.
They are working ideas, shared in public as they take shape.

The series sits upstream of the published work — a thinking room where curiosity and ideas lead, and where new lines of thought are tested before they become part of the wider Cultivated body of work.

For people who enjoy reflective conversations about work, creativity, meaning, and how ideas are formed in the first place.

Not instruction.
Not performance.
But exploration.

A quiet place to think out loud — and see what might grow.
