Get ready for an exciting episode that blends children's literature, artistic creativity, and family empowerment! We're exploring the world of "Don't Lose Mr. Cuddles" with author Dev Petty and illustrator Mike Boldt, while also diving deep into family dynamics with Lee Benson from Dinner Table. First up, Dev and Mike take us behind the scenes of their latest children's book featuring Chip, the enthusiastic dog. They share hilarious insights into the creative process, revealing how Mike builds characters using simple shapes (did you know Chip is essentially two potato chips?) and how Dev crafts stories that make kids laugh and feel connected. The conversation sparkles with humor as they discuss the challenges of school visits, the art of illustration, and the magic of creating children's books. Mike's journey from copying Disney artists to finding his unique style is particularly inspiring, showing that creativity is about finding your own voice. But the episode doesn't stop there! Lee Benson brings a powerful message about family value creation. He introduces the Dinner Table community, a groundbreaking approach to helping families grow together. Lee's own story - rising from a challenging childhood to becoming a successful entrepreneur - is a testament to the power of perspective and community support. The key takeaways? Creativity matters. Family connections are crucial. And every child has the potential to create incredible value in the world. Whether you're a parent looking to inspire your kids, an aspiring author, or someone who loves heartwarming conversations about creativity and family, this episode has something for everyone. You'll laugh, you'll be moved, and you'll walk away feeling inspired to connect more deeply with your family. Don't miss this incredible journey of storytelling, art, and family empowerment!
