I\u2019m your humble host, Mike Rosado, and it\u2019s a pleasure to be sitting here introducing to you our very first guest of 2022: Graphic Artist, Stationer and Artrepreneur, Kate Smith. Kate was such a pleasure talking to and had a story that I found super compelling. Picture if you will, marrying your high school sweetheart, working as a designer and living a successful American dream life, only to drop it all, sell everything you own, buy an Airstream for the two of you to travel the country, all while building a successful stationery design business that services some of the biggest retail shops in the world. Target, Wal-Mart, CVS, Bed Bath &amp;amp; Beyond and more. This is the life of Kate Smith. She quickly became one of my favorite guests and I believe you\u2019re about to find out why. So, do yourself a favor, find and follow her on Instagram @katesmithcompany, while you sit back, relax and enjoy our chat with Kate. &amp;nbsp; The Pencil Pushers Podcast is a celebration of the hand-drawn arts. I\u2019ll be interviewing friends and idols in illustration, animation, comic-art, and more. - Mike Rosado&amp;nbsp; Post production and editing by Trujillo Media Additional music provided by Epidemic Sound ","author_name":"The Pencil Pushers Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/pencilpusherspodcast.libsyn.com\/website","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/22193324\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/22193324"}
