Adventure vs Routine with Jessie Zevalkink

In this episode, Michael talks with Northern Michigan photographer and longtime friend Jessie Zevalkink about the shifting balance between adventure and routine — especially once parenthood enters the picture.

They explore how creative careers evolve over time, the emotional push-and-pull between craving adventure and embracing stability, and how structure can actually support better art. The conversation touches on work/life boundaries, parenthood, creative identity, and choosing opportunities intentionally.
