So Much Fun...Great Energy & Info

Loving what I've heard so far and am already hooked on Julie & Jason! They just featured one of my favorite people on the planet, Jim Fortin, so now I'll be tuning in as often as possible!

Splendid show!

Julie and Jason have a great chemistry and ask the kind of questions that are NOT the cliche interview standards. I look forward to the inspiration and enlightenment with each episode. Thank you!
