To our PFC community,
As we sit here reflecting on the journey, we’re overwhelmed with gratitude and emotion. Today marks the release of our final PFC episode, and we wanted to take a moment to express our thanks to each and every one of you.
From the very beginning, your support has been the heartbeat of this podcast. Your enthusiasm, feedback, and dedication have fueled our passion to create content that we hope has resonated with you on a profound level.
It's been an incredible ride filled with laughter, learning, and moments of genuine connection. Together, we've explored topics both heartfelt and lighthearted, delving into the depths of the creative experience and sharing stories that have touched our hearts.
Your engagement, whether through messages, reviews, or sharing episodes with friends, has meant more to us than words can express. Knowing that our conversations have sparked dialogue, inspired change, or simply brought a smile to your face has been the ultimate reward.
It’s just time. We’ve grown, both personally and professionally, and we’re in very different places than we were six years ago when we launched PFC. 100 episodes felt like the appropriate time to step away.
While this chapter may be coming to a close, it’s not the end of our partnership. 20 years of friendship and we’re just getting started. We are working on a new project that we’re really excited about and will be sharing news of it with you soon. We think you’ll like it.
As we bid farewell to PFC, thank you for being a part of our community. Your presence has truly made all the difference, and we’re deeply honored to have shared this journey with you.
Until we meet again, keep creating things that you want to see.
Michelle & Steve

When was the last time you looked at old family photos? The kind that are yellowed and printed on that paper they just don’t make anymore. You sort that you might find inside an oversized album?
In this episode, we get nostalgic chatting about childhood photos, old family videos, restoration, and the way they have the power to spark a memory, a thought or a change in perspective.

Social media has been a part of our lives for the past decade, but cultural moments have shifted our behaviors, and it’s time to reevaluate.
In the last year, we’ve witnessed a decline in social interactions and a rise in a new form of communication. Have you shifted your strategy to embrace this new era?
Join us for a conversation about the social media that once was and what audiences crave in 2023.

What is the longest you’ve spent crafting a piece of social media content? Three hours? Three days? How about three months?
In this episode, we discuss an article that breaks down a tweet that took three months of deliberation and seven rounds of revisions before it was published.
Despite its virality, was it an effective social media strategy? Or the best use of time?
We have a lot of thoughts, and we bet you do too. Plug in and join us for our conversation.

Storytelling is one of the most overused terms in the creative industry, yet it’s vital to building meaningful connections and relationships with our audiences.
Oftentimes, storytelling, as a concept, can get the glamorous treatment, but the truth is, it’s quite vague.
What makes a story, and how can you use storytelling to make someone care or feel?
In our latest episode, we dive into storytelling as a strategy, discuss why not everything is a story, and talk about why eliciting emotions in your audience may be a better path forward towards relationship building.

Less than a year after Instagram announced its plans to prioritize video content, they’ve decided to modify its algorithm. Again.
As creators, we’re left with a choice: continue playing the role of ping pong ball in a game that won’t end, or draw your line on the table.
In this episode, we discuss how social media changes have forced us to evolve and get clear about our individual objectives. Otherwise, we’ll never have the energy to keep going.
If you’ve felt frustrated by the most recent changes to the social media landscape, this conversation will give you ideas on how to navigate them.

For a brief moment last week, it seemed possible that Twitter was going to die. Like, cease to exist. Gone. Just like that.
The vibe on Twitter was dire, friends. Like “last day of school before summer vacation, please sign my yearbook” vibes.
While neither of us really believe Twitter is going away, watching the masses write farewell tweets and share where people could find them on other channels, like Mastodon, got us thinking: If Twitter does go away, do we really just want to move the party elsewhere? Is that really possible? If we really could start anew, what would bring US the most value? How could we make good choices?
It’s Thanksgiving Week, so have an extra helping of pie and dig into a new episode of PFC.

You’re a creative? Lucky you! Must be all fun and games.
For some, this is far from the truth. Between needy clients, a lack of support, deadlines, and endless revisions, how are we supposed to find the time for fun?
In this episode, Michelle and Steve are inspired by legends Paul McCartney and John Cleese, who remind us that creating space for play is essential to our work.

It's officially Hitchcock season, and we thought it would be fun to revisit this movie-centric episode from last October.
There's so much we, as creatives, can learn from filmmakers, and nobody has mastered the art more than Sir Alfred.
