Episode 017 | Design, Fatherhood and Being an Entrepreneur | Michael Smith

Season 02
Written By Alex Holt

What happens when you trade the stability of a full-time job for the uncertainty of building something on your own? For Michael Smith, it meant creating Dadsigner — a subscription-based design business helping companies grow without the overhead of a full-time creative team.

In this Season 02 kickoff, Michael talks about his journey from discovering design to running a solo creative business, how he’s built Dadsigner to serve clients while protecting his family time, and why taking the leap into entrepreneurship was worth the risk. Whether you’re a freelancer, a founder, or just curious about what it takes to build a creative business from scratch, this episode will challenge and inspire you to take the next step in your own journey.
