Minimalist Moms Podcast | All Things Minimalism, Intentionality & Simple Living From Brain Games to Brave Moves: Jerry Kolber’s Journey from TV to Purpose-Driven Podcasting (Going Deeper)
Going Deeper episodes will be less structured with a more conversational tone. These conversations will focus on interesting people I've come across that share similar values, perspectives and intentions expressed on the Minimalist Moms Podcast.
In this episode, Diane sits down with TV producer-turned-podcaster Jerry Kolber (co-creator of Brain Games and creator of Who Smarted?) for a candid conversation about creativity, purpose, and the pursuit of meaningful work. Jerry shares his journey from producing hit educational TV to pivoting into podcasting during the pandemic. Along the way, he opens up about his passion for blending fun and learning, how spirituality and curiosity have shaped his career choices, and the origin story of Who Smarted?—a wildly successful family podcast that makes learning engaging for kids and adults alike.
