Send us Fan MailThis week we're joined by illustrator, studio owner, and self-described “friendly dad” Brad Woodard of Brave the Woods (and the massively popular kids' channel Brave Kids Club). We get into how a pandemic side project turned into a YouTube channel with hundreds of thousands of subscribers, what happened when a nature short went unexpectedly viral, and why Brad dropped “art” from the channel name.Brad also shares his approach to teaching kids to draw, how he balances giving them structure with leaving room for their own creativity, and why so many kids stop calling themselves “artists” somewhere around second or third grade.We also talk about texture, and why too much texture can sometimes mask a weak drawing. Plus a candid conversation about what it actually takes to keep a creative business afloat when you're juggling client work, a studio, two YouTube channels, books, and a podcast: including the reality of what a kids' channel with millions of views actually pays.All that and more when you listen to this episode:Where the idea for Brave Kids Club came from How one viral short changed the direction of the channelWhy dropping “art” from the name helped the channel growHow Brad teaches kids to draw with structure while protecting their creativityWhy kids stop identifying as “artists” The difference between running a solo illustration practice and calling it a studioWhat Brad's dream illustration projects actually look likeWhy teaching and sharing your process can position you as an expert, even before you feel like oneThe “reps, not results” mindset for showing up on social media without burning outConnect with Brad WoodardInstagram: https://instagram.com/brave_the_woodsBrave the Woods: bravethewoods.comBrave Kids Club: https://www.youtube.com/@TheBraveKidsClubMentioned in this episode:Creative Slash Podcast“Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman” by Richard FeynmanWild KrattsJason MunnMark Kistler / Imagination StationThe Monster Project Emily Ballsley on the Creative Slash PodcastThe Ocean Explorer's Drawing Guide for KidsThe Dinosaur Explorer's Drawing Guide for KidsThe Nature Explorer's Drawing Guide for KidsConnect with Katie & Ilana from GoodtypeGoodtype WebsiteGoodtype on InstagramGoodtype on YoutubeWe wrote a book! Grab a copy and sign up to access the audiobook when we release it!Love The Typecast and free stuff?

Send us Fan MailWhat if your subtitles could whisper or shout, just like the person speaking? That's exactly what Frederik Merkel (aka Freddi) is building. We met Freddi at South by Southwest and were instantly blown away by his startup, Phont, which is developing expressive caption technology that analyzes audio and translates it into dynamic, emotionally-expressive subtitles. Think kinetic type but automated, accessible, and built for real content.In this episode, we dig into the full story: how Freddi went from finishing a master's thesis in type design to co-founding a startup with no business experience and what it really takes to go from concept to product. We also get deep into the neuroscience side of things: synesthesia, aphantasia, the Ira Glass gap, and how understanding different brains perceive the world shaped Freddi's research from the very beginning.All that and more when you listen to this episode:How Freddi's master's thesis became a startup ideaWhat expressive captions are and why they matterThe transition from type designer to co-founderHow Phont navigated public funding in GermanyBuilding demos without a parametric font (yet)The Phont Adobe plugin that's coming soonSynesthesia research and how it shaped the font design processHow to support or pilot Phont right nowConnect with Frederik MerkelPhont: https://phont.ai/ Phont on IG: https://www.instagram.com/phont.official/ Freddi on IG: https://www.instagram.com/freddimerkuri/ Freddi on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/frederik-merkel-design/ Mentioned in this episode:Phont: https://phont.ai/Michael Havakamp - Synesthetic DesignMelanie Scheer - AphantasiaOHno Type CompanyConnect with Katie & Ilana from GoodtypeGoodtype WebsiteGoodtype on InstagramGoodtype on YoutubeWe wrote a book! Grab a copy and sign up to access the audiobook when we release it!Love The Typecast and free stuff?

In this episode, we sit with Jeanetta Gonzales, Ilana's first art licensing mentor, for a conversation that goes way beyond business strategy. We're talking about the long, winding road of building a creative career, what it was actually like to exhibit at art licensing trade shows, and why the seeds you plant at a show might not sprout for years.Jeanetta also shares all about her brand new book series, Free Pass, four illustrated coupon books published with Chronicle that are essentially permission slips for creatives, workers, resters, and parents. The creativity book was born directly out of her coaching work after she noticed that the moment she gave an artist the green light, everything changed.If you've felt stuck in a creative funk, wondered if your winding career path was “wrong,” or needed someone to just give you permission to rest, this one's for you.All that and more when you listen to this episode:How Jeanetta went from UCLA fine art major to Barbie packaging designer at MattelStumbling into art licensing and what Surtex was (and why it mattered)Whether art licensing trade shows are still worth it, and what the long game really looks likeWhat it's actually like to design and work on a trade show booth The story behind her new book series, Free PassHow she illustrated 72 pieces in the middle of a cross-country moveWorking with ADHD: procrastination, pressure, and finally getting it doneWhy your environment has more impact on your creativity than you thinkBeing honest about being in a creative funk, and not rushing to fix itHer plans to rebrand for the first time in 10 years Connect with Jeanetta GonzalesWebsite: https://www.jeanettagonzales.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nettdesigns Free Pass Book Series: https://www.jeanettagonzales.com/freepasscoupons Jeanetta select client work: NY Times, Pantone, Target, Michaels, Edible Arrangements, and Brumate.Mentioned in this episode:Free Pass, Jeanetta's 4-book seriesSurtex (art licensing trade show)National Stationery ShowLas Vegas Trade ShowUpper Limit Challenge (concept from The Big Leap)Connect with Katie & Ilana from GoodtypeGoodtype WebsiteGoodtype on InstagramGoodtype on YoutubeWe wrote a book! Grab a copy and sign up to access the audiobook when we release it!Love The Typecast and free stuff?

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we sat down with Tom Foley, Executive Creative Director at Monotype–the biggest type company in the world–for a conversation that went way deeper than we planned (in the best possible way). From his family's legacy of stonemasons and sign painters to his graduate research on Irish typography, Tom gave us an entirely new lens through which to see typography.We also dig into the big questions: what actually makes good type, how type trends work (and why they're so hard to predict), what Monotype's research reveals, and where variable fonts are actually landing in the world.All that and more when you listen to this episode:The fascinating origin story of what we now call Irish typeWhat makes good typeWhether design knowledge and historical context make you better or worse at type designWhat Monotype's research reveals about purchasing habits across generationsWhether giving users more font choice in apps is actually what people want (or need)Type as a deeply human invention–linked to language, identity, and cultureConnect with Tom FoleyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tom_foley_type/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-foley-75062158/ Mentioned in this episode:Monotype https://www.monotype.com/ Monotype's ReVision Report 2025 https://www.monotype.com/resources/ebook/unlock-report-revision-2025 Montotype's Report 2024 https://www.monotype.com/resources/ebook/unlock-report-type-trends-2024 What the font https://www.myfonts.com/pages/whatthefont Brethren Brothers https://www.brethrendesignco.com/ Connect with Katie & Ilana from GoodtypeGoodtype WebsiteGoodtype on InstagramGoodtype on YoutubeWe wrote a book! Grab a copy and sign up to access the audiobook when we release it!Love The Typecast and free stuff?

He's also a TED Fellow, a Knight Fellow at Stanford, and the curator behind One Hundred Points.In this episode, we dig into what it actually looks like to build a creative practice rooted in curiosity and systems–not just style.

Send a text“Finding your style” is the number one question we get asked, and the one we've asked ourselves for years. In this episode, we're diving into the real question behind it: what if it's not about finding a single aesthetic… but about uncovering your creative identity? We're celebrating the announcement of our new book, Follow Your Art, and sharing why we wrote it, what you'll find inside, and how the entire process changed the way we think about style, niching, and creative confidence. We talk about why committing to one aesthetic can feel like a cage, why effortless ideas are often your most authentic ones, and how your “secret sauce” is built from everything. We also unpack our take on “niching out, not down,” how to write an artist statement that actually feels like you, and how to market your work without feeling gross.All that and more when you listen to this episode:Why “How do I find my style?” might be the wrong questionThe difference between style and creative identity Why committing to one aesthetic feels terrifying (and limiting) The ice cream shop metaphor that reframes everythingHow to identify your creative “secret sauce” Why what feels effortless might actually be your magicThe role of childhood memories, relationships, and non-art influences in shaping your workWhat “niching out, not down” really meansWhat it was like to co-write a book over several yearsWhy creative work doesn't have to feel hard to be valuableAnd so much more! Mentioned in this episode:Follow Your Art (our new book!) https://goodtype.us/follow-your-art-book Free audiobook with pre-order https://goodtype.us/follow-your-art-book Goodreads https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/239923273-follow-your-art Connect with Katie & Ilana from Goodtype Goodtype Website Goodtype on Instagram Goodtype on Youtube We wrote a book!

Lisa shares how she's built a career working with major brands without being loud online or glued to every social media platform. We talk about why personal projects are often the reason dream clients come knocking, how curiosity and experimentation have shaped her signature style, and why being “quiet” online doesn't mean being invisible. We also get real about freelancing and burnout and what it looks like to intentionally design a workday (and life) that actually feels good. From color obsession phases and travel-inspired projects to co-working for mental health, this episode is packed with honest insights for creatives navigating long-term careers.If you've ever felt pressure to show up louder, work longer, or sacrifice yourself to success, this conversation is a reminder that there are many ways to build a fulfilling creative life.All that and more when you listen to this episode:What 10 years of freelancing has taught LisaWhy personal projects are her biggest source of paid client workHow curiosity and experimentation lead to unexpected opportunitiesBooking major clients without constantly posting or self-promotingThe difference between growing a following and growing a careerFinding and developing a signature illustration styleThe realities of art theft, Pinterest virality, and protecting your workWhy bigger clients often allow more creative freedomBuilding healthier workdays and boundaries, breaks, and balanceConnect with Lisa McCormickInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/madebylisamarie/ Website: https://madebylisamarie.com/ Behance: https://www.behance.net/LisaMcCormickMentioned in this episode:Chicago BearsMarine LayerPBSDribbbleAdobe MAXConnect with Katie & Ilana from Goodtype Goodtype Website Goodtype on Instagram Goodtype on Youtube Love The Typecast and free stuff?

Send us a textIn this episode, we're joined by illustrator, letterer, and YouTuber Chris Piascik for a wide-ranging conversation about building a creative career without a grid master plan and why showing up consistently can change everything. Chris shares how a daily challenge that started as a way to reconnect with drawing quietly became the foundation of his entire career. We talk about what it means to play the long game as a creative, how personal work can naturally lead to apid opportunities, and why focusing on making matters more than chasing the perfect strategy. We also dig into YouTube as a creative outlet and income stream, how Chris balances client work with products and content creation, and the realities of building systems that work with (not against) an ADHD brain. From style evolution and experimentation to shipping physical products and dealing with internet opinions, this episode is packed with honest insights and plenty of laughs.All that and more when you listen to this episode:How a daily drawing habit shaped Chris's entire careerWhy personal work and client work can feel like the same thingThe unexpected path from illustrator to YouTuberCreating structure and rules to stay consistentWhat actually helps your style evolve over timeWhy making more work matters more than making “perfect” workBuilding income beyond client projects through products and contentThe realities of running an online shopWhat makes YouTube different from other social platformsLetting curiosity, experimentation, and fun lead the wayConnect with Chris PiascikInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrispiascik/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chris-piascik Website:https://www.chrispiascik.com/ Shop: https://www.chrispiascik.com/shop Mentioned in this episode:Follow Your Art Book: https://www.abramsbooks.com/product/follow-your-art_9781419776823/SkillshareAdobe FrescoProcreateTom Froese (illustration improv exercises)Connect with Katie & Ilana from Goodtype Goodtype Website Goodtype on Instagram Goodtype on Youtube Love The Typecast and free stuff?

Send us a textWhat happens when two brothers decide to stop overthinking it and build a design studio around the kind of work they actually want to make?In this episode, we're joined by Jordan and Jeremy Coon of Brethren Design Co., a two-person studio built on trust, contrast, and a shared love of making things that are fun, expressive, and a little chaotic (in the best way). We discuss what it's really like to work with family, how they naturally fell into different roles, and why embracing each other's strengths has been key to their success.We also dig into how they educate clients, move past the “I just need a logo” mindset, and create space for projects that don't neatly fit into one box, from branding and packaging to fonts, board games, and beyond. Along the way, they share honest insight from quitting their day jobs, navigating LinkedIn as designers, and why doing work you genuinely enjoy tends to attract the right opportunities. All that and more when you listen to this episode:What it's like building a studio with your sibling How different creative strengths naturally turn into clear business rolesThe chaos vs. structure dynamic and why both are necessaryWhen and how they decided to quit their full-time jobsWhy educating clients is a designer's responsibility How showing process helps clients understand valueWhy they don't niche themselves into a single categoryHow fun, personality-driven work attracts the right clients Why they removed pressure from fonts by not tying them to revenue goalsCold outreach, long-game visibility, and unexpected referralsDesigning a full board game and how that opportunity came togetherLetting curiosity lead to new creative directions Connect with Brethren Design Co.Website: https://www.brethrendesignco.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brethrendesignco/ Mentioned in this episode:Chicken and the WolfSliced Beer Four Fathers (Website Design) Joe MooreVision Board KitSolid RootsMind the GapNetflix Project Connect with Katie & Ilana from Goodtype Goodtype Website Goodtype on Instagram Goodtype on Youtube Love The Typecast and free stuff?

Send us a textIn this episode, we sit down with illustrator, designer, and jill of all trades Marisol Ortega for a conversation that's equal parts honest, hilarious, and deeply relatable for anyone navigating a creative career.Marisol talks about leaving full-time work (again!) to return to freelance life, why office-centric culture doesn't support the way many creatives actually think and work, and how being a parent shaped her career decisions. We dig into the reality of juggling big-name clients, managing energy, working with a rep, and building a sustainable freelance practice that doesn't drain your soul.She also walks us through her thriving, but intentionally chill, product shop, what she's learned from vending at events like Adobe MAX, and why she reins herself in on new product ideas. We also get into plant obsessions, tattoo pain scales, imposter syndrome (yes, she feels it too!), and dreaming bigger with kids' apparel and creative collaborations.All that and more when you listen to this episode:Why Marisol officially returned to full-time freelancing this yearThe challenges of in-office creative roles when you're a parentHow kindness and not burning bridges led to years of referral-based workWhat it's really like working with major brands (Target, Pringles, sports teams & more)Navigating freelancers' “ebb and flow” without relying on social mediaHow a creative rep supports her business and workloadLessons learned from vending at events and deciding what's worth investing inHow imposter syndrome shows up even when you're thrivingWhy her dream projects now involve kids' apparel and playful designThe power of experimenting, staying in your lane, and keeping your head down at workHow plants, cooking, and hobbies outside design help her recharge Connect with Marisol OrtegaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/marisol.ortega/ Website: https://www.marisolortega.com/ Shop: https://www.marisolortega.com/shop Mentioned in this episode:Adobe MAX https://www.adobe.com/max.html AIGA Seattle https://seattle.aiga.org/ Renegade Craft https://www.renegadecraft.com/ Aqui Mercado Events https://www.instagram.com/aquimercado.seattle/Aaron Draplin https://www.instagram.com/draplin/ Yoto Player https://us.yotoplay.com/ Connect with Katie & Ilana from Goodtype Goodtype Website Goodtype on Instagram Goodtype on Youtube Love The Typecast and free stuff?

We return to Studio Red Walls, to get into all of the absurd news from the week. We dive into the growing Cold War between China and America, the sad capitulation of a few feckless Democrats, and Donald Trump blew who? Join us on another zany yap session about our deteriorating democracy!

Send us a textIn this episode, we're joined by a very special guest, Rebecca Shostak, co-founder of Flodesk and lifelong designer-turned-entrepreneur. This conversation is packed with insights into how creativity, design thinking, and intentional decision-making can shape not just a project but an entire company. We also go deep into AI, the fears, the opportunities, and what it looks like to use it as a tool that supports creativity rather than replaces it. Rebbeca shares how she went from designing merch for top artists to identifying a massive gap in the email-marketing world…and eventually building one of the most beloved design-forward platforms in the industry. We talk about the early days, the years of customer feedback that planted the seeds for Flodesk, and what it really took to go from idea to product without outside funding. We also dig into the emotional and practical realities of creative entrepreneurship: learning to let go of control, hiring before you feel ready, defining roles within your team, and understanding your own strengths as your business grows. All that and more when you listen to this episode:Rebecca's path from merch designer to co-founding FlodeskHow growing up around entrepreneurs shaped her mindsetThe importance of validating ideas through honest conversations Why intentionality is the foundation of good designThe shift from being the designer to leading a creative teamHow to hire well and why doing the work yourself first mattersCreative risks that paid off Why AI can't replace creativity, and what it can free up time forHow creatives can use email marketing even without a product to sell Building thought leadership and connection through emailThe future of work, creativity, and the new wave of toolsConnect with Rebecca Shostak, Co-Founder of FlodeskTry Flodesk for Free: https://flodesk.com/c/GOODTYPERebecca's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rebecca.shostak/Flodesk's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flodesk/Mentioned in this episode:Flodesk https://flodesk.com/c/GOODTYPE (unlimited plan ends soon!)Canva WordPressConnect with Katie & Ilana from Goodtype Goodtype Website Goodtype on Instagram Goodtype on Youtube Love The Typecast and free stuff?

Today's episode spotlights the prolific Paul Ben-Victor, a powerhouse talent whose decades-long career has touched nearly every corner of film, stage, and television. Paul shares his unexpected path from set design at Carnegie Mellon to a breakout acting opportunity, and the intense, immersive methods he used to book roles in the 1980s—like screaming in subway cars to perfect a raspy voice. He reflects on receiving direct offers for iconic projects including True Romance, The Wire, and True Detective, contrasting the grueling audition process of the past with the collaborative freedom of modern self-taping. Paul also recounts unforgettable moments working with legendary directors—especially the almost sacred atmosphere on Martin Scorsese's sets—and the nerves of acting opposite his hero Robert De Niro. These are the unforgettable stories that landed Paul Ben-Victor right here.

JULY 2025 NEW CAR REGISTRATIONSNew car registrations fall, year-on-year, in July 2025 by 5%.

Learning to accept and live with type 1 diabetes has not been a linear path in my experience. 29 years of life with type 1 diabetes and there are no hard and fast conclusions here, just a juicy subject to chew on for today's solo episode!I reflect back on my own journey to discuss how I've come to accept living with type 1 diabetes, what that looks like, the relationship I now have with type 1 diabetes and how that's changed at different points in my life. I look at the definition of acceptance as it might relate to type 1 diabetes, as well as different keys, tools and perspectives I have that have helped me equip myself for this long and bumpy ride, and in particular the fork in the road that caused me to embark on a new, quite different road to acceptance - finally allowing type 1 diabetes to travel with me in the car! Buckle up, the analogy is strong...The inspiration for this episode was a conversation I had with Natalie Balmain on the Typecast podcast, which you can find here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6xbsZa948wKSoAFFHadivS?si=886470b1dc6b4f72This is the definition of acceptance that I mention, from Medical professor Jon Kabat-Zinn, sourced via Psychology Today. “Acceptance doesn't, by any stretch of the imagination, mean passive resignation. Quite the opposite. It takes a huge amount of fortitude and motivation to accept what is — especially when you don't like it — and then work wisely and effectively as best you possibly can with the circumstances you find yourself in and with the resources at your disposal, both inner and outer, to mitigate, heal, redirect, and change what can be changed.” As ever this is just my personal experience, nothing in the episode should be taken as medical advice and your first port of call for all things type 1 diabetes is your diabetes healthcare team. I hope you enjoy this one!JOIN THE TYPE 1 ON 1 INSTAGRAM COMMUNITY Come and say hi @studiotype1on1 on Instagram.Find me on instagram @missjengrieves.SPONSOR MESSAGE This episode of Type 1 on 1 is sponsored by Insulet, the makers of Omnipod tube-free insulin pump therapy.Using Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery has improved my diabetes management significantly with less diabetes decisions, and of course no multiple daily injections.

Today is our first full on TYPECAST! Answering questions submitted via our website, and this first round of questions is FANTASTIC. Really all questions about life on the "other side"/reconstruction today--after loss of faith/trauma/shift in faith, how do you approach Scripture now? How might the text become re-enchanted again? How do you find a new community, exactly? Oh, and in the evolving landscape of Pentecostalism, are there actually inclusive communities out there? We get into all of this and more!

On this week's four weeks for Friday: the debut of Typecast (!), where I respond to listener questions; a rundown of what I am watching, listening to, and reading this week (including: the new Netflix film It's What's Inside, revisiting Stephen King's Storm of the Century, Coldplay's Moon Music, The Bulwark conversation with Timothy Snyder this week on "the Politics of Impotence," Slow Burn's great new season on "The Rise of Fox News," and a searing new piece in the Atlantic, "Seventy Miles in the Darien Gap," by Cailtin Dickerson. Let me know what you are into this week in the comments! This week's Typecast is a response to Mike Skinner, who asked me: "from your personal and pastoral experience, what are two or three theological truths that are commonly shared with folks who are struggling to find and hold onto hope that are both overrated and underrated in their power and ability to help and encourage?" Such a great (multi-part) question! I will look forward to reading more of yours!

It's Friday, and we are live on the Zeicast...let's go! Today: 1) a short new piece 2) The Vice Presidential Debate between Governor Tim Walz and J.D. Vance 3) pop culture corner, featuring two new franchises on HBO/Max--The Penguin and Salem's Lot 4) state of the podcast, and what's coming next--announcing the Typecast!
