What if the “random stuff” your kids collect is actually shaping who they become?
In this episode, Joline Godfrey and Kit Hinrichs, founder and Creative Director at Studio Hinrichs, discuss the unexpected power of collecting as a tool for raising curious, confident, and connected kids. Joline and Kit, a renowned designer and lifelong collector, explore how collecting begins in childhood and evolves into a meaningful way to build identity, resilience, and connection. Through stories from Kit’s extensive collection of Americana, including historic flags, toys, and artifacts, they highlight how every object carries history, geography, and personal meaning.
Joline and Kit discuss:
- Why does collecting often start earlier than parents expect
- How collecting builds intellectual, social, and human capital (FISH)
- The role of storytelling in helping kids connect to history and values
- Why collecting is about meaning, not money
- And more!
