Welcome to The Most...

A place for creative, playful and connected family time.

This is Howie Doit! Star of “Show Me Howie” a new show for kids on The Most

I think many of us are looking for more ways to slow down and connect with our kids.

Imagine those moments when you're really in it, busy, maybe overwhelmed, sometimes distracted. For me, those moments don’t feel like I am making the most of my time with my kids, instead, I am managing my time, managing our experience, from somewhere outside of myself. I've realized what’s so frustrating in those moments is that I crave something more.

I'm Justin, a San Francisco-based TV producer, author, and papa of two. I've been navigating the whirlwind of parenting two kids, trying to create more connection amidst the chaos. When I am telling stories with my kids, making puppet shows, building forts, laughing over a good movie or destroying the dinner table with a messy art project --- I feel like I am doing it. 

From that feel-good place, I decided to make The Most — a yearlong mission to make play, good stories and creativity part of our everyday. This is a podcast, a homemade kids' TV show, and a collection of imaginative ideas for families.

The deepest truth to why I am here: time just keeps moving faster. I want to make something for and with my kids. That said, this is the opposite of a solo journey; it's about creating a digital hangout for like-minded families to build something special together.

A bit about me: 

I've spent my career helping creators share their knowledge with the world producing online education for creatives. I'm also the author of "Bear Boy"— a YA memoir inspired by two bears and my quest to make the world a better place. Jane Goodall herself wrote the foreword, saying “This is a book that will encourage you to follow your dreams.”

This is where I spent many early mornings writing Bear Boy.

Long before I was a dad, I’ve had a dream of creating thoughtful media for kids. Then my kids were born and when media entered our home, I realized there are only a handful of shows I actually feel good about my kids watching . "The Most" weaves together this old dream with my intention to relish time with my kids. It's my commitment to making the most of our time – to be the most playful, creative, and connected we can be. I'm here to build a community of folks who just want to join in the fun of creating art, telling stories, exploring emotions and playing.
