The penultimate episode of Creative Playdate is an interview with Chris & Jennifer Sickels! You likely know Chris as Red Nose Studio. I was thrilled when Chris suggested his wife, Jennifer, join in the conversation. It’s the first time I’ve had a partner one who is not also working as a creative. It’s important that the people behind the scenes who support these crazy careers we’ve chosen get all the respect and gratitude that they deserve.
Chris and Jennifer have 4 children between the ages of 3 and 13, so we talked a lot about what it’s like to have kids at various stages of development. We also talk about the financial aspects of raising 4 kids primarily on the income of a freelance illustrator and whether or not Chris wishes they could live in New York.
As I mention in the episode, I have made the decision to break the show up into seasons. There will be one more episode this season and I will let you know as season 2 approaches.
What would you like to hear about in season 2?
The show is created and hosted by me, Michelle Kondrich and our theme music was created by Thomas James and Jason Ritz.
Thank you for listening!
