The real test is how we respond when things get gritty, uncertain, and hard.

    Ep.244 Be Memorable With Shelly Graby and Jody Wynn of ADJACENT PODCAST

    Guests: Shelly Silvey Grabe and Jody Silvey Wynn are sisters, storytellers, podcast hosts, and the creative force behind Shody Media and the Adjacent Podcast—an Austin-based show built around real people, real conversations, and very few filters. On Adjacent, Shelly and Jody tackle just about everything they find themselves “adjacent” to: Austin culture, relationships, food, travel, hiking, RV life, music, local characters, and the wonderfully random stuff that makes life interesting. Their chemistry is exactly what you’d expect from sisters with microphones—funny, candid, occasionally chaotic, and never short on opinions. Through Shody Media, they’ve expanded beyond their own show, helping produce and develop other podcasts while building a growing community around authentic, personality-driven storytelling. Bottom line: give these two a microphone and a topic, and there’s a pretty good chance the conversation is going somewhere you didn’t expect—which is exactly the point.
