Sara & Robert Cornelius On "Love & Marriage (& Comparing Creative Processes)"
You guys, come meet your two new favorite people! Today, you get to meet my friends Sara & Robert Cornelius. These two used to live right down the block from Luke and I, and let me tell you, they're two of my favorite people I've met in my adult life. As a married couple pursuing two different creative passions; Robert, a photographer and "Photoshop wizard" (no, but seriously) and Sara, creator of Cake Over Steak, an illustrated food blog... these two know what it's like to support each other through the highs and lows in life and in creativity too. Come hang out with us as we gab about their very opposing methods of creating content, what's inspiring them lately (including a ton of fun cookbook shoutouts), and hear us talk about all things fun, creative and adventurous. You've just met your new best friends. You're welcome!
