In this episode, I speak with Matt, a 41-year-old filmmaker based in Brighton.
He shares how the idea of having children never really crossed his mind until he turned 40. Now, in a new relationship, the topic has started to surface more frequently.
We talk about the uncertainty that can come with such a life-changing decision, and explore how parenthood might reshape his world — both professionally and personally.
Our conversation also touches on the rise of AI: its impact on creative industries, and how thinking about the future of technology intertwines with the question of raising children in an increasingly unpredictable world.
