Speaker 2: 1:32

Speaker 3: 1:41

Hey, how are you? Oh good, just running, running, running between everything always.

Speaker 2: 1:49

Yeah, good, thank you I know the rain is not helping out, is it?

Speaker 3: 1:53

I know, I just yeah, I know I had to. They're eating lunch, so I just ran out to the car to get the talk and I realized I didn't have an umbrella. Now I'm soaked. I'm gonna have to be just a wet, wet, you know, mess. The rest of the day it's fine. This is crazy.

Speaker 1: 2:08

It is crazy.

Speaker 3: 2:09

It's coming down and then it'll stop. It's nuts.

Speaker 1: 2:11

It is nuts. Well, Jenny, thank you so much for coming on the show today. We're excited to talk to you about all the things I know.

Speaker 3: 2:18

Yes, this is exciting. So you just started the. This is your first season of the podcast. Yes, season one. Awesome, congrats, it's exciting.

Speaker 1: 2:27

Thank you. This has been a lot of fun. We have interviewed a few people here already in the area and we're excited to have you on the show. The first thing that we really wanted to ask you about is our listeners, of course, want to know why people are coming to Northwest Arkansas. So why did you come to Northwest Arkansas?

Speaker 3: 2:44

Oh well, I came here. Dave and I moved here in 2004. When we first met, two years prior, we both worked for a supplier and he was moved from Colorado here to Arkansas. I was in Tampa and we were on the same team and I had. He was living here when we met, and then he moved to Chicago and then Austin and I was in Nashville and we decided we wanted to be in the same city and his parents and brother had since had moved here in the years prior from Colorado, and so he decided he wanted to move here and start a building business with his dad and brother and I had never visited oh, I had visited one time, just driven through to meet his parents once and then I decided, sure, we'll move here. So we moved here with the intention, I think like a lot of people, of staying for two years. Yes, and you know all these years later. That was in 2004.

Speaker 1: 3:38

Here we are, here we are. Yeah, wow, 11 years. You've been here for 11 years. That's amazing, or not? 11 years? No wait, yeah, 21 years.

Speaker 3: 3:48

I can't do math. Apparently, daniel. I mean 19 years, 19.

Speaker 1: 3:55

I really truly cannot do math. My fifth grader would be so disappointed in me.

Speaker 2: 3:59

I was just going to say do you help your daughter do homework? No, no, no.

Speaker 1: 4:04

This is embarrassing. My son is like one of the top math students in his class. Wow, it's okay. It is okay.

Speaker 1: 4:14

Well, that 19 years, I got it that is still, that's a long time and you have definitely invested so much into the community and we just we love how you connect with this community and that you are personable. You're so adorable and we see that you are helping so many people create their dream homes and these dream spaces here in Northwest Arkansas. But you're also a purveyor of local artists and merchants and we just want to know why is that important to you and would you be willing to share some of your favorite collaborations?

Speaker 3: 4:44

Yeah, so Dave and I both grew up, both of our parents were small business owners. We obviously have our own small business the building business and so we've always been big supporters of small business and in our industry. I really love anything handmade and handcrafted. Dave obviously loves to make furniture, he loves to do anything with woodworking and welding, so we really just appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into anything you know, art or ceramics or whatever it is. We really just appreciate it and really try to support local artisans and as artisans in general. It's kind of we feel like it's just so important and I think that even artisans and then trade skills are something that are kind of kind of a dying thing.

Speaker 3: 5:30

You know, and so we really want to help you know, mentor younger people as it comes up and like this. These are viable jobs, something that you know that creative passion can be. You know you can make a living doing it. And so when we opened the Market Hill, we did so so that we could really support all of the artisans that we work with all the time. Artists I have a lot of artist friends that I always, you know, art is so important in the home and so I have artists that I work with a lot and I have them in the store. Rainie Bray she's a potter and she's amazing. She's great at ceramics. We have her bowls and dishes and mugs in the store. We have local, you know authors. We have their books. We have jams, jammal jams. They have a little small business with their family and they make amazing jams. The candle the little shop, candle shop in Rogers little candle company they make all of our candles for the Mercantile. So I mean really pretty much everyone in the store is all.

Speaker 3: 6:33

There's a lot of local artisans and craftsmen that we are just we. We love to support them. We love to have a place where people can go and find all of these things in one place. It's not, you know, you don't have to just go to the farmers market on Saturday and then go to all these other places. You can go one place and get everything, and I don't know. It's a passion of ours for sure, and it's fun to support and we get excited when you know like the candles sell. We get so excited because we know where they were made and how they were made. We get to go and pick out scents and that kind of thing. So it's been really fun and a really great part of the community that has. I don't know that we've been really been an unexpected thing that we weren't really planning to do like a long-term plan, but we did it and it's been amazing. We love it.

Speaker 2: 7:18

Yeah, I was just in there on Saturday. I live in Centerton and I'm from Dallas, and so I went in there with my six-year-old daughter and I bought some of your coffee, your special airship, and I'm like I love coffee. I'm always into like the good coffee. I've been to my husband and I went to Italy and our honeymoon in France and so when he's in the wine business, so we're always into like really good wine, good coffee, just good beverages all around. And so I went in there and I saw that and I love airship I didn't know that you had your own. Is it an exclusive?

Speaker 3: 7:51

Yes, yes. So Mark, the Bray family we've known for years and they're an amazing family. We love them so much and we were in the early days of airship. I remember being over there helping in the back room. It's fun to see how much they've grown. Yeah, so together we developed, basically we did a bunch of different tastings and combinations and so, yeah, we have our own mercantile blend.

Speaker 2: 8:16

I love it. It's so good and because we do pour overs and everything like that. So my husband is like you have to make it the right way. This is very special, you know it is very special.

Speaker 1: 8:26

And actually, at the end of each episode, we do a toast, whether it's a local coffee or a local beer, and we're going to toast with your local blend from airship today at the end.

Speaker 2: 8:39

Yeah, we're pretty excited about it and I my daughter was also really excited because at checkout you guys have these little love notes for lunches, because I keep running out of post-its, so these are much nicer.

Speaker 1: 8:50

They're much nicer.

Speaker 2: 8:51

That was so sweet. I was like, oh, I always think I should buy those and so, yeah, I love that too. There was all kinds of and I had to say the. You know the people that work there are really passionate about. They're telling me about this new rolling pin and, like, all these different ways to set your table for the holidays.

Speaker 3: 9:07

Oh, yes, I love it. We have a great team. They are amazing or so thankful Could not do it without them.

Speaker 2: 9:15

Yes, yeah, I'm glad that you guys are investing in Center 10 because I feel like you know Bittenville is really building up and Center 10, you know there's just. I've been to a wedding at the venue downtown and it's nice and I'm just glad to see investment in the community there.

Speaker 3: 9:28

Yes, there's so much. I'm going to be there. I hope that, yeah, I can continue. We, we, we. That's our hope, for sure.

Speaker 1: 9:35

Yes, all right, yeah, well, we are definitely going to. We want to talk about your book.

Speaker 4: 9:40

Yes, but before we get into that.

Speaker 1: 9:42

I just wanted to ask you when you think about having been here for 19 years and starting on this journey and then starting a TV show, did you think you would be where you're at today?

Speaker 3: 9:53

No, no, not at all. No, not at all. No, the TV show is not at all on our radar at all. You know our network executive when we started the show. Her name was Carrie and she had a friend who actually lived here and worked at Walmart and new of this area because visited, and Obviously we all know how unique and special this area is and unless you come and visit, you really don't know. And so she came and she was like, oh my gosh, this is such a unique place and we have to make a show here. So she put out some feelers with her Network of people here and one of those people was someone we had built a house for, who set, who put art. You know, gave them our name.

Speaker 1: 10:34

Wow.

Speaker 2: 10:35

That's awesome. That's really cool.

Speaker 3: 10:37

And the rest is history. Yeah, I said no, we were like, no, we don't want to do that at all. But here we are. So, yeah, it was not at all in our radar. No, not at all.

Speaker 1: 10:46

That's so funny. That's funny. We said no, no, we're not doing it. And here you are.

Speaker 3: 10:50

Yeah, yeah, we said well, yeah, they ended up talking to us and just doing a little scissor-reel and then they're like, let's just do a pilot and you don't have to do anything beyond that.

Speaker 3: 11:00

And Anyway, we decided to do it because we have a nonprofit and we were like if we could have, you know, just a little chance to talk about the work that we're really passionate about in Zimbabwe and Orphan care and adoption and the things that we really care about, and to highlight our amazing community and make you know Cuz I'm from Florida, dave's from Colorado when we go back, when I go back home to my, where my family is like everyone else, how would you move to Arkansas? You know, for years they're like are you kidding me? Like what are you very living? I'm like you don't understand. It's amazing. You have to come see it. So for us to be able to highlight how great our area is was really important for us too. So that's why we eventually said yes, was just that be able to kind of Chinese spotlight on the things we really care about?

Speaker 2: 12:12

And that's really awesome. It is in the berry farm. Is the Non-profit that?

Speaker 1: 12:17

yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 2: 12:18

That's great.

Speaker 3: 12:20

Yeah, our berry farm. We started right before this. I mean, it was a few years prior. Yeah, we have a farm training program in Zimbabwe, so we're hoping it's basically teaching it. It's a trade school essentially in Zimbabwe for orphaned and abandoned teens to really give them a skill, life skill or they can, you know, break the cycle of extreme poverty in their community and their life and their family. And it's been really awesome and our from here funds the farm training program there.

Speaker 1: 12:51

That's incredible, really is incredible. I love that you are using your celebrity for something that is so important and so valuable to a whole community.

Speaker 1: 13:00

I mean you're, you're pouring into this community while you're pouring into another community and that just, it really speaks volumes To who you are and to what like to your integrity and to the things that you care about, and, I think, to your point of just wanting to do things that you're passionate about. Like, hey, I'm gonna use this avenue of a TV show to point back to the things I'm the most passionate about and that and that's really awesome. I'm talking about your book.

Speaker 1: 13:26

I'm I'm super excited about this and it's called house plus love equals home, and this isn't another how-to, but rather a book for readers to find inspiration and being creative in their own homes. Right, so tell us what inspired you to write this book, and will there be any more books?

Speaker 3: 13:43

Yeah, and I've always wanted, I love to write. It's something that. It's something I've always loved to do, and I always wanted to write a book. That's why I never wanted to be on TV, but I did want to write, and so it's been really cool to be able to.

Speaker 4: 13:57

I've thought about?

Speaker 3: 13:58

what would I write about if I want to write about? I don't know, it's been. I have an ongoing document on my computer of book ideas, but this, this one, I just start with because I feel like it's a nice. It's an easy entry point for everyone. Everyone has, you know, whether you live in an apartment or wherever, it doesn't matter where you live. Like everyone, love, you know, has a concept of home. So it's really just a way to share stories from our life and, you know, show photo, beautiful photos, but really, hopefully it's a way to inspire people and encourage people that you know, that it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks of your home.

Speaker 3: 14:32

If you are surrounded by people and things that you love in your home, then that is what is important and Hopefully will help to shed this, this stigma.

Speaker 3: 14:41

I think that we live in, in our culture of, like, the trap of comparison and Instagram and Pinterest and all these things. You know you're constantly seeing these beautiful spaces that aren't really realistic and and and don't feel like home. But once you add in personal touches and really are intentional with the spaces, with in your home, you can make it beautiful and it doesn't matter if anyone else thinks it's beautiful, it matters if you do, because you're the one that lives there and we have conversations all the time with our clients about that. Like, I don't have to live here. If you want, you know, whatever you want, this is your home, so it needs to be a reflection of who you are and not who I am. So they. I think this book was that, was that's the intent behind it and the heart behind it. And as, yeah, it was a crazy hard I overwhelmingly difficult process, right In the midst of filming all the other things, but with Australia.

Speaker 3: 15:35

So, as in that, I've always wanted to do this, so it really feels like a huge accomplishment. I did it and I'm super excited about it. And, yeah, I am actually working on another one right now, because I did, like said, to do two books, so this was the first one and now I'm working on the second one, but it's hard, but it's so good, it's so fun to like reflect on stories from our past and really I love it. It's awesome.

Speaker 1: 16:00

Yeah, what a special gift for your kids to have that do one day Like to see. They're going to have. They're going to have you everywhere and on TV in a book form. I think that that's so special. I do. I do have to laugh a little bit about that, you saying that you don't want to be on TV and you'd rather be on the book, but I have a feeling Dave likes to be on TV. Is that an accurate? Is that an accurate assumption?

Speaker 3: 16:24

Yeah, he's better at like yeah, he likes, you know, speaking like public speaking. He loves, I hate it. I like, oh, I hate it, and he loves it. He does not like to write. He thinks it's like journaling is like a form of torture. I love to just sit and journal, you know. So in the book he does make a couple of little appearances, because he we call him appearances, but he should be sort of like Dave's corner section. Oh, nice.

Speaker 3: 16:50

Yeah, so he'll talk about, like you know, he'll give practical tips for building or, you know, like DIY projects and that kind of thing, and talks about working in the shop. But he does not like to write, so he didn't even write, he just transcribed it. He just like talked it and then we just wrote it down and then I edited it, but for the most part it's just him talking and that you know, which is true to who he is. Yeah, him describing it, but he's like I'm not writing this, I'll just, you can just record it and then write it down. Okay, but yes, we're opposites and that's that's great and that probably works really well.

Speaker 1: 17:24

So, aside from Dave, who else likes the cameras at Dolly? She love the camera.

Speaker 3: 17:31

Actually, luke loves oh, he's only four, she's never well, none of our kids. They've all kind of grown up with the camera crew, but he loves our crew. All of our kids love our crew. They're like family. They've been with us from the beginning. And so Luke just gets excited. He calls him the filmers. When I'm through the go-for he's like, oh, the filmers going to be here today. And he just loves it because they already, you know he gets lots of candy and snacks and he gets to play. So he hands it up and then the big kids now have all decided they don't want to be on camera Of course.

Speaker 3: 18:03

And so if we, you know we're like if you want to come out in the shop, we never make our kids ever be on the show if they don't want to. But the big ones definitely are not. They're not having it anymore. They're like no, I'm out.

Speaker 2: 18:15

Yeah, I'm done doing their own thing. Now they are Exactly, they're like hard, yeah. So I've noticed that you guys go to Italy quite often, yeah, and has that? Have those travels inspired anything in the book or just any upcoming projects?

Speaker 3: 18:32

Yeah, we're actually working right now on a project in Italy. That's where we've been going back and forth. Ah, okay, yeah, so we're helping friends of ours. They bought a house there. They live there. Sorry, our friends live in Florence, so they bought a house in the countryside and we're helping them renovate that house. So it's been really a crazy process. Oh fun, yeah, so we've been going. We started the project in December and we're hoping to finish in January. We'll be, we think, when we'll finish that one. And you take all the the whole family goes.

Speaker 3: 19:01

Yeah, every, not every time. Okay, like this past, dave and I went last week. We were only there for like four days, and so we didn't bring the kids because they have school and it was just such a quick trip.

Speaker 2: 19:10

But yeah, I was going to say I'm really impressed. Oh my goodness.

Speaker 3: 19:14

So winter we're all together, but and then, like one of the trips they came, it just depends on school and all that. And now it's just it's so hard when they get older. School and sports and everything, just yeah, make it hard for them to travel, oh my gosh the after school activities.

Speaker 1: 19:27

Oh, that's wild. Have you ever seen the film under the Tuscan Sun?

Speaker 3: 19:32

Oh yes.

Speaker 1: 19:33

Yes, so have you had any wild experiences while renovating this home in Florence, as she had in the film?

Speaker 3: 19:41

Yes, yes, yes. If you read Francis May's book, you know that, or you'll have to. If you don't read it, you should read it because the book is so good. I haven't read it. I love the movie either.

Speaker 1: 19:51

I've seen the movie, but I haven't read the book. Okay, so Milla go ahead.

Speaker 3: 19:54

Sorry, yeah, no, you're good it's so. It's a complete it's you'll be. It's so interesting because the book is completely different. The Hollywood eyes the movie and changed her story, so it's really interesting to read the book. I read the book first and then I watched the movie and I'm like what is this?

Speaker 3: 20:08

But they're both equally just amazing and I love them, and I obviously love Italy, so I watch it all the time. But yeah, we've had oh yeah, we have our contractors over there are exactly like in the movie. Like like in the movie, it's. It's amazing, it's so fun. Every day we're like this is crazy, this is so. I don't know, it's just it's. It has been a wild journey. I've been learning lots of learnings and they do things, obviously do things differently. A lot more things are done by hand, a lot more. There's not a lot of power tools. So this past trip, dave brought like three big totes full of tools, because every time he was trying to work on something, he would get handed like like little, like he was trying to build a bed and he they gave him like a hammer and a little chisel, so like, oh my God, so, yeah, so he's very thankful that he brought his tool this past time and he was able to get a lot done, which made him happy. But yeah, it's been a really wild, interesting, crazy experience.

Speaker 2: 21:07

Yeah, just hand, whittle a bed, yeah.

Speaker 1: 21:12

Crazy. This is not a doll bed, this is for a human.

Speaker 2: 21:15

Yeah, this is a human.

Speaker 3: 21:18

So, yeah, it's been interesting, yeah, and we were supposed to be done, I don't know, like six months ago, but we knew that wouldn't happen. That was unrealistic, but it's been. It's taking longer than we planned and it's that. It's really been a really fun project that we're. We sat around to wait.

Speaker 3: 21:34

No, last summer 2022, we went to Italy as a family we try to go in the summer and we were sitting with our friends, rebecca and Pierre, who are the homeowners and they have two boys who are our boys age and they're really good friends and we all were at the beach together. They'd been looking for a house for about a year at that point. So I'd been with Rebecca, she'd been sending me the links and I kind of was on the journey with her. It was always. It was so exciting that they were looking for a house and they finally found one, and so we were sitting at dinner one night and we're like what if we renovate it for this and we do a show? Oh my gosh, that'd be so fun.

Speaker 3: 22:07

But it was kind of a pipe dream, because the logistics behind that are crazy and we're like there's, I don't know if we could ever make that happen, but we we basically like bad to the network to let us try it. And here we are. So it's crazy that we're actually doing it. It's been. It's been a whirlwind and super, super fun.

Speaker 1: 22:23

That is so exciting. I feel like you kind of just make things happen, Jenny. You're like I'm going to do this and it happens. I know that there is a powerhouse team behind you and surrounding you to make all of these things and dreams happen, but it's really great the vision that you have for so many things that are really cool and interesting and fascinating.

Speaker 2: 22:48

Yeah, and I like to see. I watched your stories, I think, when you were in Italy and I thought it was great that you shared the window where you get the one glass of wine that I think they created in Italy during like the Black Plague or something, and I had heard about it and then I saw it in your stories and I was like man, I need to go back just for that experience. I want wine through a window.

Speaker 3: 23:06

Yes, I know most of them were closed down and now there's one that's operational again and it is. It's so fun, and the guy who hands you the wine, he's just so happy and he's just so fun. So anyway, yeah, there's so many cool things that and we, speaking of artisans, you know kind of tying back to the artisans that we work with here. We've been able to work with so many incredible artisans in Italy. Wow, and you know just olive wood knives. Our friends own a cheese shop in a wine tour business and so wow, for their cheese shop. And then handmade terracotta tub made for their back.

Speaker 3: 23:44

Oh my gosh, just amazing things, and watching these artisans create these incredible pieces it's like they're pieces of art and it really has been incredible. And we got to go to the marble quarry in Carrera and pick out marble. We had, like, really incredible experiences through this process and it's been really fun and we are hoping, you know, we want to highlight the people that are doing these amazing things and, you know, and hopefully we do that on the show. But yeah, that's really, really cool.

Speaker 1: 24:14

When you say pipe dream, you are not kidding, no, you are not kidding.

Speaker 2: 24:18

Yeah, so the book comes out and you will be able to buy that in the mercantile.

Speaker 3: 24:24

Yes, okay, it's in the mercantile. Yes, it will be out on November 14th and then I'll be there. I have to go to New York when it launches, but then I will be there. I think it's the. Oh the. That's right either. That Friday morning I think it's the 17th is when I'm doing I should look that up for sure, but I think it's the 17th I'm doing a book signing at the mercantile, so everybody can come and get your book and sign it and, you know, take a picture. It'll be really fun to celebrate here with our community.

Speaker 2: 24:50

It's perfect time for the holidays because I feel like I need inspiration every year because I have in-laws coming. Now we're hosting more and I'm not used to hosting like that and you know I have in-laws that I know they say they're not judging, but I think they're gonna like, want to see what my tablescape looks like. So any advice on impressing the in-laws Didn't you hear what she said earlier? Be authentic to myself and not care.

Speaker 1: 25:16

Be authentic to yourself.

Speaker 3: 25:17

Oh, that's so hard to do. Okay, I'm just not gonna care. Yes, yes, yes, you have to live here, so there you go.

Speaker 2: 25:27

Yeah, that's right. Yeah, I'm definitely going to your shop, though, because I mean everything there looked so just fun and I love the like neutral tones, and I mean it's perfect for, like, thanksgiving. I'm sure you'll have different things for Christmas.

Speaker 3: 25:45

Yeah, we're gonna have the launch or, like you know, get everything set for Christmas at the beginning of November. So, yeah, you can come and shop.

Speaker 2: 25:51

So we always like to ask what is your favorite thing about Northwest Ark? And so I know you're traveling and we have. You know, I feel like even though, like I travel some and my husband is too, we're always glad to be back here Like I don't know if traveling makes you miss it more or love it more. Like what's your favorite thing about the area?

Speaker 3: 26:06

Oh gosh, there's so many things. I think I, the community, I mean this is probably I know that sounds cheesy, but really it's the most supportive, generous community. We've always found that, like when we were, you know, years ago, going through our adoption process. We had so many people rally around us and when we started our nonprofit and our berry farm like our community really does support one another and we have it is such a generous place. It really takes care of people within our own community and around the world.

Speaker 1: 26:33

I would echo that as well. I think that it is a wonderful community kind of, why we're doing this podcast. Yeah, that's why we're doing the podcast.

Speaker 2: 26:40

So, and I think, as mothers, we want to know, like, how do you? I've got two kids, daniel, you've got two, you have more than what you have five, five, yes, five, yeah, man. So what time do you wake up? Like 4am no.

Speaker 3: 26:54

No, I don't. Dave's early rising. Oh yeah, he gets up early. I usually get up at like 6.30. I mean, yeah, oh, that's not bad, okay, yeah, and the kids, you know, get them off to school. And my kids are pretty independent. They're pretty awesome. Like in the mornings we have the list of who needs lunch because we have the calendar and so if you know they want to bring lunch that day, they know, like we have the lunch stuff and we help, but they really put their lunches together and they make their breakfast. Like the kids are pretty independent, they're pretty awesome.

Speaker 1: 27:24

So that's amazing, yeah, getting closer to independence with my children.

Yeah, my, yeah, my nine year old makes her lunch. There's like a fruit roll up and like a pie chart. I'm like are there any vegetables in there? Any fruit, Definitely not Is a fruit, roll up a fruit. I don't think the school district would think so. Yeah.

Speaker 1: 27:49

I know Well, we're really excited about the book.

Speaker 2: 27:51

I cannot wait and I love the message just being yourself, being true to yourself. I think that's so important because, you know, comparison really is the thief of joy. That's my favorite quote from Theodore Roosevelt, my favorite president, and it is so true I try to instill it in my kids that it's so hard not to scroll and compare and, honestly, like some of these homes, you it doesn't look lived in. Like you, you want something functional and just feels authentic to you. So I think that's such a good message. I can't wait to read it.
