This week Andrew talks with USA Today bestselling author Jenny Hale. Jenny began her career as an elementary school teacher — and eventually began writing as a creative outlet. Today, Jenny is the author of more than 20 books — including two which have now been turned into Hallmark Original movies. Her books have sold over a million copies worldwide and have been translated into multiple languages. Jenny also founded & leads her own publishing imprint Harpeth Road where she helps other authors reach their dreams as well. This conversation is about creativity, entrepreneurship, the power of curiosity, & so much more.
