Carly Thornock - Intentional House

Episode 50Meet Carly from Intentional House:I’ve taught at the university level, I’ve spoken around the nation at conferences, I’ve designed multi million dollar projects, and I’ve been featured across the globe in written publications, but my favorite thing is teaching moms who are DOING and LOVING right at home, right now.While I earned my Master’s in Marriage, Family, and Human Development, I was hit over the head with the realization that home was actually most beautiful when considered as a support to the families that actually live REAL life in them. My research dives into how a house’s architecture and design (as well as how we THINK about those things) affect positive family relationships.When not going on rock/bug collection walks or experimenting with yogurt batches, I can be found binge reading Brené Brown's volumes with lots of blankets, practicing handstands with my kiddos (I’m determined), watching Star Trek with my husband (who knew?), and restarting my DuoLingo Spanish streak. There is never a dull moment around the Thornock home, and for that reason we’ve intentionally selected dull corners on all our furniture.I love getting to know people and talking about cool housey family designey stuff.Episode Covers:1) Carly's educational background that led her to starting "Intentional House"2) How YOU have the power to create an experience within your home.3) Three ways to inspire wonder in your home.Connect with Carly:Instagram : www.instagram.com/intentionalhouse/Facebook: www.facebook.com/intentionalhouseWebsite : www.intentionalhouse.com

Brian and Diane Thomas

Episode 46This is the PixPad. It was created three years ago by Brian and Diane Thomas when Diane asked Brian to find her an attractive tablet stand for her iPad, one that she wouldn’t mind seeing around the house even when she wasn’t using it. They couldn’t find one, so Brian and his son Matt set out to build one. It took several tries (“too ugly”, “too bulky”) but eventually they decided to combine a picture frame and a tablet stand / phone stand into one.Late last year, Brian and Diane decided to create a company called Frame & Function to make their new creation, officially called the PixPad, available to everyone. They have 11 different designs, available at local gift shops and on their website www.pix-pad.com. (We tried to get www.pixpad.com without the hyphen but the person who owns the address wanted $100,000 for the name!)Put your 4x6 photo in the picture frame and simply rest your tablet, phone, or book on the front. The PixPad adjusts to four different angles. It holds your tablet, phone, or book at just the right angle – perfect for streaming video in bed, reading a recipe on the kitchen counter, or for video calls or browsing the web. And when you are not using it, you still have a beautiful picture frame! It makes a great gift for your parents – it makes video calls a lot more pleasant when you are not looking up your Dad’s nose or at your parents ceiling!Brian is a US Navy veteran and Frame & Function is a veteran-owned small family business. Diane makes all the color and design decisions (thank goodness), son Matt does all the photography and video production, son Alex works in QC and shipping, and the youngest son Logan helps out in a variety of ways.Episode Covers:1. The Thomas' journey to entrepreneurship.2. How the idea of the PixPad came about.3. Steps to inventing the PixPad 4. How to purchase and learn more about the PixPadConnect with Brian and Diane Thomas:Facebook: Frame and Function LLCInstagram: @FrameAndFunctionWebsite: www.pix-pad.com
