<p>Kelly Barfield grew up without TV, without many toys… but surrounded by ancient Egyptian artifacts. Now she designs toys at Kid Robot by day and builds her own wonderfully strange fish-themed empire by night. We dive in with Kelly as she unpacks how museums shaped her imagination, why humor is hiding in history, and how her journey went from car modeling to Nerf blasters to art-toy storytelling. We explore the beauty of odd, inexplicable objects, the joy of making things that outlive the digital world, and the charm of keeping a brand simple: fish, pins, hats... done. Get ready for blind-box fish chaos, heartfelt creative philosophy, and the wild evolution of <em>The Last Goldfish</em>.</p><p>On Instagram: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/thelastgoldfish_toys/">@</a><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="x1i10hfl xjbqb8w x1ejq31n x18oe1m7 x1sy0etr xstzfhl x972fbf x10w94by x1qhh985 x14e42zd x9f619 x1ypdohk x3ct3a4 xdj266r x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak xexx8yu xyri2b x18d9i69 x1c1uobl x16tdsg8 x1hl2dhg xggy1nq x1a2a7pz x6s0dn4 x78zum5 x1q0g3np xs83m0k xeuugli x1n2onr6 _a6hd" href="https://www.instagram.com/thelastgoldfish_toys/"><strong>thelastgoldfish_toys</strong></a></p><p><strong>This Episode is Sponsored by:</strong> <strong>Empire Blisters</strong> – Your go-to source for blister packaging!
