S4 Ep3: Chris Rudd
58m · PublishedChris is dad to three daughters: ages 15, 6 and 3.
In this episode, Chris talks about how his strong socio-political views were forged in an interacial household with activist parents and the countless ways this world view manifests in his children's lives and his own anti-racism work. Chris shares some larger-than-life stories about his father and the working class wisdom he imparted when Chris became a dad at 22. Chris discusses his time at Standford's d.school, the limits of human-centered design, and why he ignored the allure of startup culture and Silicon Valley to remain committed to place-based social innovation in Chicago. Finally, we talk about the connections and similarities between leading (and serving) community projects, a creative consultancy, and one's own family.

S4 Ep2: Johan Bävman
56m · PublishedJohan is dad to two sons: ages 8 & 4.
In this episode, Johan talks about the myriad roles photography's played in his life and career: as a connection to his grandfather, an invitation to embed himself in other cultures, a narrative device for storytelling, and as solution for his dyslexia—allowing him to express himself without the burden of the written word. Johan also talks at length about Swedish Dads , a collection of photographs he self-published in 2016 documenting 45 Swedish men who took advantage of the country's generous parental leave system. Capturing the mundane, beautiful and often lonesome moments of fatherhood, the images, book and exhibit continues to help change policy, shift cultural attitudes, and advocate for gender equality and the rights of women and children.
His photographs are currently on exhibit at Chicago's Swedish American Museum now through November.

Reflections on COVID-19
8m · PublishedS4 Ep1: Justin Roberts
55m · PublishedJustin is dad to his 1½-year-old son.
In this episode, Justin talks about becoming a happy, proud (but utterly exhausted) father at 50 and how he found magic in even the darkest days of those first sleep-deprived months. He shares the advantages and struggles that come when both parents are full-time professional musicians—he's married to the lovely Anna Steinhoff, a talented baroque cellist. And we talk about where he found the confidence to make a life creating kids music and why that particular genre is so easy to dismiss, but provides him the greatest creative freedom.
Justin's 15th studio album Wild Life is his most personal and intimate to date. It comes out February 28th.

S3 Ep7: Season Three Recap
10m · PublishedS3 Ep6: Tim Lapetino
1h 5m · PublishedTim is dad to his 7-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son.
In this episode, Tim explains how journalism school led him to a career as a self-taught graphic designer and how a blog post in 2012 changed the trajectory of his life and career forever. He also explains how he talked his way into all sorts of design roles he wasn't a perfect fit for but made work with a combination of tenacity and humility. We talk about the rise of geek culture, the power of pursuing strange passions, and why people pay to see others believe in themselves. Tim also provides an intimate and honest view behind the scenes of his book projects and the impact they have on his marriage and children. This is a pretty optimistic and inspirational episode and why I saved it for the end of Season 3.

S3 Ep5: Matt Woodburn
59m · PublishedMatt is dad to his daughters: ages 8 and 9.
In this episode, Matt talks about riding the waves of his father's entrepreneurial pursuits and how inspiring (and intimidating) it was to witness his parents' constant hustle. He explains how a childhood in sunny SoCal—full of thrash metal, BMX and skateboarding—exposed him to Hollywood's behind-the-scenes trades and eventually led to film school in Chicago. We talk about how he lucked out and launched a hip hop recording studio in his early 20s and went on to parlay those experiences and connections into countless ventures in film, music, video and special events. And we talk at length about what it means to create experiences and memories for his daughters—born just 14 months apart—and how his divorce and commitment to co-parenting, continues to reshape life, work and the example he and his ex-wife set for their girls.

S3 Ep4: Jeffrey Brown
48m · PublishedJeffrey is dad to his two sons: ages 13 and 6.
In this episode, Jeffrey talks about the ways his late father's work as a minister—while deeply religious—was also creative, curious, and underscored by life-long learning. We discuss his transition from tourist shop handicraft, to fine art painting, how things eventually came full-circle back to his childhood love of comics and writing. He shares the surprise of his firstborn, the confidence he found in his second, and how he navigates (and negotiates) time between both boys. He also explains his analog workflows, techniques for squeezing art into the tiniest gaps of daily routines, and how his kids influence his Star Wars stories. This conversation offers a supplemental companion to Jeffrey's autobiographical graphic novel, A Matter of Life, a collection of pivotal moments, slices of life, and intimate vignettes.
If you're a parent new to comics, I highly recommend starting here.

S3 Ep3: Jared Reeder
54m · PublishedJared is dad to his a 8-year-old daughter and 4½-year-old son.
In this episode, Jared talks about his father’s military discipline, attention to detail, and struggles with alcohol (a primary reason why he, himself, doesn't drink). We talk about how he attended the prestigious Pratt Institute at age 6 and how this exposure—and growing up with siblings a decade older than him—shaped his gregarious, competitive personality. He explains why the world needs fewer rappers and professional athletes and shares the secret word his mother used to push his critical thinking.

S3 Ep2: Brad Bischoff
1h 11m · PublishedBrad is dad to his a 4-year-old daughter and 2-year-old son.
In this episode, Brad talks about the myriad odd jobs he's held to make ends meet and make movies happen—from working at a skatepark, to packaging incontinence briefs, to transcribing detective's interviews at 100 words per minute. We talk about his remarkable success (and tenacity) as an independent filmmaker and how much his life feels like scenes from a John Hughes script. He also opens up about the sacrifices he's made for his films and the tolls they've taken on his health, his family, and his marriage. As you might imagine, Brad is a master storyteller which made this episode especially tough to cut down—but particularly enjoyable to get lost in.
