27 JUN 2024 · We have amassed so many new listeners that this week we are excited to reintroduce you to your hosts, Scott & LaRae Wright! The idea of a podcast was an idea that we have wanted to do for a long time and now here we are, with a few more years of learning under our belt, which has helped because over the last 5 years we have gone through a lot, including Covid, a lot of world change, and change within our families. There has been some heartache, a lot of laughter, and every day we learn to love a little bit deeper. Larae led the corporate warrior life and Scott worked in finance, but in 2016 we decided to make a change and pursue a more meaningful path where we could discover more purpose.
