The Creatives
We’re just a family with big ideas, a lot of coffee, and a little help from AI. What started around the kitchen table has turned into Pawdad Presents—a place where we turn sparks of inspiration into music and stories. We’re learning as we go, building something we’ve never seen before. Come along for the ride—this is just the beginning.
How It Works
Spark the Idea
For us, it all starts small — a silly lyric someone blurts out, a melody hummed in the kitchen, a story one of the kids dreams up. Those little sparks kick off our creative journey.Build with AI
We’re still learning as we go, but AI has become like a new instrument for us. We give it our ideas, and it helps us explore directions we wouldn’t think of on our own.Shape and Refine
As a family, we listen, laugh, argue, and keep tweaking until something feels right. If it doesn’t move us, it doesn’t make it through.Craft the Content
Piece by piece, we turn those ideas into songs, books, or videos. None of us came into this as pros — we’re figuring it out as we go, and that’s part of the fun.Deliver with Soul and Scale
What we end up with isn’t “AI content.” It’s our family’s work, shaped with love and curiosity, using new tools to tell stories we hope people connect with.
