      <image:title>What Creativity Needs - Raising a Creative Kid</image:title>
      <image:caption>What does it mean to both be a creative kid as well as be the parent of one? How do you know when you should let go, get out of the way or engage even when it might be uncomfortable? Roger C. Tucker, III and Sheryl Hilliard Tucker provide some helpful insights. —&gt; Listen</image:caption>

      <image:title>What Creativity Needs - Making a Creative Life in the Creases</image:title>
      <image:caption>I talk with artist and educator Mike Mitchell, whose creative life is shaped by love, lineage, and a deep attention to the everyday. Mike’s art emerges in the “creases and cracks” of his life: grocery store walls, family rituals, neighborhood stories, and the long partnership that anchors him. This is a conversation about art that’s lived. About marriage as a form of collaboration. About finding meaning in humble materials and daily gestures. About the beauty that appears when we let things fall apart and trust what comes next. If you’re someone trying to make space for creativity inside a full life, or wondering how love and art can coexist, this episode is for you. —&gt; Listen</image:caption>

      <image:title>What Creativity Needs - Exploring the Seasons of a Creative Life</image:title>
      <image:caption>In this episode, I talk with Rana Campbell, the creator behind Dreams in Drive, a podcast geared toward creatives &amp; lifestyle entrepreneurs who want to learn how to take their dreams out of Park and into Drive. Together, we explore what it means to build a creative life over time: through career changes, motherhood, grief, intuition, and the desire to leave something meaningful behind. This conversation's about the stories we inherit, the ones we choose, and the ones we’re still learning how to tell. And it’s about how Rana brings people together through questions, through connection, and through a belief in possibility that runs all the way back to her childhood. This episode is full of honesty, reflection, and the hard-earned wisdom that comes from staying committed to a long creative path. —&gt; Listen</image:caption>

      <image:title>Off the Beaten Path - Taking a Fork in the Road</image:title>
      <image:caption>In this episode, I’m talking with my old friend Gene Gurkoff, founder of Charity Miles. We talk about taking the road that isn’t always straight, about purpose as something we practice rather than find, and how staying in motion can create its own kind of belonging. If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to live a life aligned with meaning — even when you can’t see the whole map — this one’s for you. —&gt; Listen</image:caption>

      <image:title>Off the Beaten Path - Building a Creative Life from the Inside Out</image:title>
      <image:caption>In this episode, artists and producers, Everest Hall and Mike Russnak take us inside a shared life built, literally, from the ground up. We talk about art school, self-education, reinvention, homelessness, humor, moral courage, astrology, and the unexpected power of moving across the country with nothing but each other. —&gt; Listen</image:caption>

      <image:title>Off the Beaten Path - Live As You’re Going</image:title>
      <image:caption>Kahwa and I met in elementary school, at a small private school in New Jersey. On September 11, 2001, she was working at the IMF in Washington, D.C. On September 12, she bought a bed. It sounds small. It wasn’t; it was the beginning of looking at life differently. During our conversation, we talk about protecting your time. About choosing space over status as members of a generation that was trained to optimize for both. About growing up multiracial, having hair that wasn’t like our classmates. We talk about why she enjoys having Scotland as a second home, losing a parent, and what happened when she had a baby she wasn't planning for in her 40s. —&gt; Listen</image:caption>

      <image:title>Off the Beaten Path - I Wanted to Want It</image:title>
      <image:caption>Rory Eakin spent a summer in a suit, in an office building, knowing it wasn't right. He said no to the job, went to Cape Town to teach math, and began a series of career deviations that he says got easier with each one. In this conversation, he talks about growing up with an inherited picture of what success was supposed to look like, and what happens when you start pulling away from it. About burnout and the self-understanding it can unlock. About how hard it is to separate identity from the work you do. And about an unexpected turn: a pull toward faith and community after years of describing himself as a confident atheist. —&gt; Listen</image:caption>

      <image:title>Off the Beaten Path - Do the Doing</image:title>
      <image:caption>What would make you walk away from a Fortune 500 career to become an “old founder?” In this episode, I reconnect with my middle school buddy, Jon Zweifler. We talk about hitting a ceiling in your career and what happens when you realize there is no “next job” that will teach you something new. Jon shares his journey from the Fortune 500 to life as a tech founder who is building Reed AI from the ground up to turn real-world language into learnable moments for neurodivergent kids and how his personal journey inspired a platform helping children make more sense of the world around them.  —&gt; Listen</image:caption>

      <image:caption>We're going to sit down with Dr. Cynthia Cuffie, MD and hear about her early academic experiences and how those paved the way for her career success as a physician, as a corporate executive and as an executive coach. We'll also learn how she managed to find the time to be an engaged mom of three, while giving back to her community. And if you're a lover of all things home renovation, then listen closely toward the end, because I think you may find that you have a show or two in common with her. —&gt; Listen</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Heather Lanier is an essayist, memoirist, poet, professor and TED speaker whose talk, “Good and Bad Are Incomplete Stories We Tell Ourselves” has been viewed over three million times and translated into 18 languages. I had the good fortune of meeting Heather back in 2009 when we were roommates at the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference. It was great to catch up and talk about a number of things including: writing and spirituality, staying attuned to our dreams, making space for more honest emotions including vulnerability, grief and joy, finding community and connection with other writers, and the challenges of writing about the people closest to us. —&gt; Listen</image:caption>

      <image:title>Finding Your Voice - Seeing the Forest and the Trees</image:title>
      <image:caption>Becky Moon is many things; she’s an artist, a philosopher and an admirer of ants. So, you can imagine when we got together, we had a lot to talk about around all of these intersections, but most importantly about the spirit of generosity that Becky brings to her work, her life and her practice. So, if you’re someone who is interested in questions like: What does it all mean? Why am I here? Now what do I do? then stay tuned. —&gt;Listen</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Dana Bernstein is a conflict resolution author, speaker, consultant and Principal of Dare to Live Brave. With over 2500 coaching hours and more than 100 clients, Dana specializes in de-escalation, negotiations, contracts, project management and high stakes situations. In 2025, Dana published “It’s the Thought That Counts: Mastering the Art of YOU vs. you,” an interactive book helping individuals resolve internal conflict to better navigate external challenges. Dana also generously did some live coaching with me, shared her thoughts on how quiet the outside noise so you can tune into your true inside voice and at your own pace, had some wild adventures and musical experiences to share, and somehow did all of this without missing a beat - even when we got disrupted briefly by a technical glitch. If you want to witness someone living their values out loud and in service of helping others, if you want to learn how to navigate in this fast paced world, or if you’re just curious about my least favorite food, then I think you’re really going to like this conversation. —&gt; Listen</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Leelila Strogov is the Founder and CEO of AtomicMind, where she works with high-achieving students navigating some of the world’s most competitive institutions. But this conversation is less about admissions than it is about formation: how people learn who they are, how confidence develops, and what happens when ambition is either nurtured or imposed. We talk about honoring identity early, why joyful ambition matters, and how pressure can distort both learning and self-trust. We also explore technology, attention, mentorship, parenting, and the discipline required to protect time, trust, and humanity in an always-on world. Throughout the conversation is a deeper question: What does it mean to build lives, relationships, and institutions that expand possibility rather than constrain it? —&gt; Listen</image:caption>

      <image:title>Finding Your Voice - Settling into the Hug of Friendship</image:title>
      <image:caption>This episode feels like a late-night call — the kind you don’t want to end. I’m talking with Amy, a friend from my early years in Essex County, New Jersey, and we go deep into what it means to grow, drift, and return to the people who’ve known every version of us. This one’s audio-only, intentionally — I wanted it to feel like the kind of conversation you lean into, where you can just listen. The pauses, the laughter, the quiet — they’re part of the story too. We talk about how friendship can be a kind of home — a mirror, a soft landing, and a reminder that connection isn’t about proximity but about presence. If you’ve ever had a friend who helped you find yourself, this one will feel like an exhale. —&gt; Listen</image:caption>

      <image:title>Real Talk About Midlife - It’s Been Longer Than I Thought</image:title>
      <image:caption>Mayuri Chandra and I have known each other since we were kids. This year marks 25 years since we graduated from college in 2001. We talk about what that milestone actually feels like. The doctor who’s younger than you. The version of you that still feels 25, even when the mirror disagrees. The way old friends collapse time. We revisit the New York we imagined in our twenties, shaped by Rent and Sex and the City, and what it was like to arrive in New York City in 2001. That October, Mayuri started at the Public Art Fund, presenting contemporary art in public space in a city still processing 9/11. From there, we talk about nonprofit leadership, burnout in arts organizations, and the hard lesson that good work does not automatically mean good management. We end with reflecting on what it’s like to grow up before constant connectivity, the beauty of silence and longing, as well as what it takes to sustain a creative practice. —&gt; Listen</image:caption>

      <image:title>Real Talk About Midlife - Do the Doing</image:title>
      <image:caption>What would make you walk away from a Fortune 500 career to become an “old founder?” In this episode, I reconnect with my middle school buddy, Jon Zweifler. We talk about hitting a ceiling in your career and what happens when you realize there is no “next job” that will teach you something new. Jon shares his journey from the Fortune 500 to life as a tech founder who is building Reed AI from the ground up to turn real-world language into learnable moments for neurodivergent kids and how his personal journey inspired a platform helping children make more sense of the world around them.  —&gt; Listen</image:caption>

      <image:title>Real Talk About Midlife - The Dream Can Change</image:title>
      <image:caption>I reconnect with Sunil Ayyagari, someone I’ve known since we were kids, to talk about identity, ambition, and the unexpected turns adulthood can take. Sunil reflects on growing up queer in the late 80s and 90s, when stigma and fear shaped what was visible, and how early cultural touchstones helped him build a sense of self. He shares what it was like to build a career in theater, realize the dream had limits, and reset in his early thirties through business school, a new career path, and a new life chapter that includes marriage and a move back to North Jersey. We also talk about attention and technology, what we miss about mixtapes and appointment TV, and what it means to come of age before constant connectivity, then learn how to live with it anyway. —&gt; Listen</image:caption>

      <image:title>Real Talk About Midlife - I Wanted to Want It</image:title>
      <image:caption>Rory Eakin spent a summer in a suit, in an office building, knowing it wasn't right. He said no to the job, went to Cape Town to teach math, and began a series of career deviations that he says got easier with each one. In this conversation, he talks about growing up with an inherited picture of what success was supposed to look like, and what happens when you start pulling away from it. About burnout and the self-understanding it can unlock. About how hard it is to separate identity from the work you do. And about an unexpected turn: a pull toward faith and community after years of describing himself as a confident atheist. —&gt; Listen</image:caption>

      <image:title>Real Talk About Midlife - Live As You’re Going</image:title>
      <image:caption>Kahwa Douoguih and I met in elementary school, at a small private school in New Jersey. On September 11, 2001, she was working at the IMF in Washington, D.C. On September 12, she bought a bed. It sounds small. It wasn’t; it was the beginning of looking at life differently. During our conversation, we talk about protecting your time. About choosing space over status as members of a generation that was trained to optimize for both. About growing up multiracial, having hair that wasn’t like our classmates. We talk about why she enjoys having Scotland as a second home, losing a parent, and what happened when she had a baby she wasn't planning for in her 40s. —&gt; Listen</image:caption>

      <image:title>Real Talk About Midlife - Nobody Gets a Playbook</image:title>
      <image:caption>Jeff Gurtman and I have known each other since nursery school, when we were already trying to sell “pencils” made out of sticks. This year marks 25 years since we graduated from college in 2001. We talk about what that era felt like. The pressure to land one of the “good jobs.” Consulting. Finance. Real estate. The subtle message that there was a right path, and that deviation required explanation. We revisit that moment with more distance now. The myth that adulthood comes with answers. The realization that you can hit every milestone and still feel like you are figuring it out in real time. From there, the conversation widens. Technology and boundaries. Jeff teaches me what the GS in Apple IIGS stands for. We trade notes on all things cassette tape design. He makes a convincing case for Carmen San Diego vs. Oregon Trail. Time as a luxury. Parenting. Friendship. And finally, Jeff’s line that has stayed with me: designing a life so that he can have a sidewalk that goes somewhere. —&gt; Listen</image:caption>

      <image:title>Creating in Community - Making Space for a Creative Life</image:title>
      <image:caption>In this episode, I talk with artists and co-directors Tamalin Baumgarten and Meredith Leich about the Cuttyhunk Island Artist Residency and the creative partnership that sustains it. Together they explore how friendship became partnership, how trust shapes their decision-making, and how care, logistics, and attention form the invisible structure of a successful residency. They talk candidly about the behind-the-scenes labor of running an island program, from ferry schedules and groceries to emotional attunement and staff wellbeing. This is a conversation about creative life as a collective practice. About holding space for others while staying connected to one’s own work. And about why, for Meredith and Tamalin, the residency is not an end point, but the beginning of long creative relationships. —&gt; Listen</image:caption>

      <image:title>Creating in Community - Sustaining a Creative Life Through Collaboration</image:title>
      <image:caption>In this episode, I talk to brand strategist James Wu, founder of Studio Tomo, about creativity as a collective practice rather than a solo pursuit. James shares how his early love of album art, magazines, and design shaped his understanding of brand as feeling and experience. He traces his career from digital advertising to nonprofit work, and eventually to founding Studio Tomo, a studio built around collaboration, empathy, and mission-driven work. We explore how creative teams function best when they reflect the communities they serve, why relationship-building matters more than efficiency, and how misunderstandings can be navigated through trust, vulnerability, and time. James also reflects on parenting, leadership, burnout, and the cost of empathy when it becomes overextended. This is a conversation about building creative ecosystems, honoring lived experience, and sustaining work that is thoughtful, relational, and grounded in care. —&gt; Listen</image:caption>

      <image:title>Creating in Community - Shaping a Creative Life Together</image:title>
      <image:caption>In this episode, I talk with artists and collaborators Jason Tranchida and Matthew Lawrence, whose creative partnership spans performance, publishing, and multi-year collaborative projects. Their work includes the long-running art publication Headmaster and the immersive musical documentary Scandalous Conduct, rooted in archival research about the Newport Navy Sex Scandal of 1919. Together they explore what it means to build a life by building work together: how shared creative labor becomes a way of shaping identity, supporting one another, and moving through the world with curiosity and conviction. This is a conversation about collaboration as intimacy, community as practice, and how two people can create a creative ecosystem that feeds them both. —&gt; Listen</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bonus Features - Asking for What Matters</image:title>
      <image:caption>Before heading into Season Two, I’m revisiting a question I asked every guest: “What’s something the audience can do for you?” Their answers revealed seven dimensions of how we ask for support, meaning, and connection: • Asking as Action • Asking as Amplification • Asking as Understanding • Asking as Attention • Asking as Contribution • Asking as Self-Regard • Asking as Impact Featuring voices from throughout Season One, this short audio episode weaves those asks together and lands on a closing reflection. —&gt; Listen</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A season closer — and a pause before what’s next. Before heading into Season Two, I reflected on the first season of I’m Here Too — where we explored how we grow, create, and stay connected while everything around us keeps moving. Featuring voices from the guests who shaped Season One, this short audio bonus feature is a thank-you to everyone who’s been part of the journey. —&gt; Listen</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bonus Features - Season Two Trailer</image:title>
      <image:caption>This season, I’m talking with the people who shape and support our creative lives. Partners. Collaborators. Friends. Community-builders. Together we explore how creativity grows in relationship, what it takes to stay close to our vision while being seen by others, and how the people around us influence, steady, challenge, and inspire the work we do. —&gt; Listen</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bonus Features - What Creativity Needs</image:title>
      <image:caption>This short bonus episode opens Season Two by naming something many creatives feel but rarely hear articulated. Creativity doesn’t fail because people don’t want it badly enough. It falters when the conditions around it are wrong. In this episode, I bring together voices from across the season to talk about what creativity actually needs to survive inside real lives. Time. Space. Care. Structures that can hold both ambition and reality. This episode is meant to be listened to on its own or as a way into the longer conversations that unfold throughout Season Two. —&gt; Listen</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bonus Features - We Don’t Create Alone</image:title>
      <image:caption>This short bonus episode brings forward a truth that’s easy to overlook. Creative work rarely happens alone. In these conversations, people talk about being supported, challenged, and carried by others in ways that make the work possible. Not through formal collaboration alone, but through relationship, trust, and shared responsibility. This episode can be listened to on its own or as a way into the longer conversations that unfold throughout Season Two. —&gt; Listen</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bonus Features - The Long Way Through</image:title>
      <image:caption>This short bonus episode speaks to a part of creative life that often goes unnamed. The long middle. In this episode, I bring together voices from across Season Two reflecting on time passing, changing seasons, and what it means to stay with creative work through grief, fatigue, and uncertainty. There’s very little talk of triumphant arrivals here. Instead, this episode offers a grounded look at patience, discernment, and letting work evolve without abandoning it altogether. Listen on its own or as a companion to the full-length conversations featured throughout Season Two. —&gt; Listen</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bonus Features - If You Only Have Five Minutes</image:title>
      <image:caption>This brief companion episode is for moments when you don’t have much time, but you still want something concrete to carry with you. Rather than summarizing the season, this episode offers a practical way to use the conversations you’ve already heard. It names a few recurring themes and poses simple questions to help you orient yourself without needing to listen to everything or remember it all. This episode is meant to be returned to as needed. Five minutes is enough. —&gt; Listen</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bonus Features - Season Three Trailer</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Class of 2001... 25 Years Later. We grew up before constant connectivity. We built careers during economic instability and cultural change. Now we are navigating midlife with aging parents, growing children, and a sharper awareness that time is finite. This season, I'm talking with guests born in the late 70s and early 80s. You may know us as Gen X, Xennials, Millennials. Seven conversations about burnout, reinvention, parenting, ambition, and what responsibility looks like in midlife. We thought adulthood was the destination. It turns out it's only a stop along the way. We'll bring the honest conversation. You bring the mixtape. —&gt; Listen</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bonus Features - What We’ve Learned Since College Graduation</image:title>
      <image:caption>What does it actually look like to navigate life over the course of two decades after college? In this Season Three bonus feature of “I’m Here Too,” I asked my guests one question: What would you tell your younger self if you were the commencement speaker? What they shared wasn’t generic inspiration. It’s real talk about shifting paths, handling social pressure, and why taking action (“do the doing”) is more valuable than collecting credentials. If you’re navigating a career transition or looking for a fresh perspective on your professional journey, I hope these reflections help you move forward with confidence. —&gt; Listen</image:caption>
