This week, we’re joined by Karen Scholl, a seasoned copywriter and creative director who’s spent the past 25 years bringing big ideas to life for clients like Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble, Wendy’s, Sirius XM, Scotts Miracle-Gro, and Greater Good Charities.
In this episode, Karen shares how her professional world of crafting web copy, video scripts, and executive articles collided (beautifully) with the chaos of family life—especially the wild, wonderful ride of raising soccer-playing kids.
From carpooling to the pitch to capturing the hilarity and heart of everyday moments, Karen opens up about finding inspiration in the little things, the charm of Central Ohio, and why creativity doesn’t clock out when you close the laptop.
Whether you’re a parent, a creative, or just someone who’s ever juggled a deadline with a sideline, this one’s for you.

The 2025 NFL Draft, baby!
Boarding the plane from LAX to Green Bay, I was surrounded by people decked head to toe in their NFL team’s jerseys, hats, jackets, sweatshirts and bags. I’m not sure what I had expected to find going to the NFL Draft, but arriving and seeing 600,000 raving fans transcended my expectations by a mile.
