Dadwell & Co.®

The Dadwell Podcast shares stories about maker / artist / designer dads who are managing thriving creative practices while remaining present, engaged, kick-ass fathers. Each episode I explore a different dad's creative practice, fathering philosophy, and practical tactics for navigating the stress, fatigue, resentment, wonder, pride, and joy of raising the creative bar while simultaneously raising small humans. 👔
