Make Belief with Calvin Nowell

I’ve known Megan Piphus Baptist since she was three years old, back home in Cincinnati. Watching her go from a church kid with a gift to a puppeteer and performer on Sesame Street, and now to her own show on Disney Jr. and Disney+, has been incredible.
In this episode, Megan sits down with me to talk about the path from a gift that could have looked silly to some people to a career that has touched millions of kids. We cover The Oprah Show, America’s Got Talent, Sesame Street, her Emmy-winning work, and her new series, Megan and Cupcake Ready for Preschool.

We also get into the part most people never ask about: the business side. How do you build a team? Do you need management or a booking agent? How do you create and own your characters instead of only performing someone else’s? And how do you stay grounded in faith, family, and marriage while your career grows?
