Welcome back to GTGS! Today, we are throwing it back to our conversation with Michelle And Kent French of the Frenchitivity Podcast! This conversation happened in The Market by The Meat Cellar, a few months before we opened our doors in 2024. Check out the Frenchitivity YouTube channel for some amazing videos of their travels that happened after this conversation!

Sara and Anthony were able to catch up and connect with the French's right before they started their journey across the world! Listen as we get a glimpse at what their wild next year looks like, and how they have reimagined their entire family's modern life. They discuss what it's like to find your partner in life, and how growing together always leads to more. Then Kent and Michelle profile why and how this movement became their life, and why now is the perfect time for them to try something new!
