Good As New

Rylee Matheson & Jaj Gloverwww.goodasnewpodcast.com
Life is messy, beautiful, heartbreaking, happy, and everything in between. It’s those moments that help shape us, give us insight into who we are at our core, and hopefully help craft relationships that will last a lifetime. Events like loss, birth, marriage, graduation and so many more are like road markers along our personal paths, and things don’t always (for better or worse) go as planned. But it’s the story and the results that define who we are - and it’s those life-changing stories that will be coming to you this January with Jaj, who recently found herself a widow with 2 young kids, and Rylee, a budding entrepreneur whose big dreams and even bigger drive are being juggled with the adventure of being a newlywed. Their stories aren’t perfect, but that’s not what we’re here for. We’re learning as we go and hopefully, coming out better than we began. Listen to “Good As New” an imperfectly perfect podcast sharing the moments that break us and build us stronger.

Reading Rundown: What We’re Reading This Summer

Send us a text Summer for us is a checklist that we’re morally obligated to complete: boating, playing, late nights, tons of family time, and of course, reading. Even if you don’t have summers off like you were a kid, summer still brings on a more relaxed pace and a bit of down time that we love to fill with a juicy tome. This week we’re discussing the buzziest books — from beach reads to thrillers, contemporary fiction to memoirs, romance and more. There’s nothing better than an epic story that...
