Happy Hour #49 is with my friend Jenn Sprinkle. Jenn is a self proclaimed serial entrepreneur with a burden for dreamers and doers. After ten years in corporate america as a designer, traveling around the world with a dream job, she took a leap of faith and stepped out on her own and fully launched her own design and creative strategy business. Although her “pays-the-bills-day-job” continues to be her design business, her heart is for building and encouraging a community of dreamers, doers and entrepreneurs through The {Well} Studio. Inspired by her own journey to build a dream God called her to and the day-to-day struggles and doubts that come with building, she curated and self-published a book of prayers called 31 Days of Prayers for the Dreamers and the Doers in January 2015.
On today's show Jenn and I talk about her journey through starting businesses, writing a book, and how her and husband work together in their crazy adventures. Jenn opens up about her marriage struggles and how God has grown them together over the years as a couple. A few years ago Jenn and her husband both quit their jobs, sold everything, and completely changed the paths of their lives.
Jenn and I met at the If Gathering this past year and I loved everything about her as soon as we met! I know that you are going to love this show. Her transparency about her marriage problems early on in her marriage will encourage so many of you in your marriages.

So glad you’re back, Jamie! I’ve been missing your podcasts on my commutes!
Jamie, I enjoyed this podcast SO MUCH. Hearing Jenn’s early marriage struggles, and that she and her husband separated multiple times and were STILL able to recover, was so inspiring and motivating for me. Also, have you ever thought about hosting a live happy hour show, with an audience? It would be a great opportunity to have personalized koozies! 😉 And i would totally buy a ticket to that!
Thank you for the encouragement and YES a live show would be amazing and it’s something we’re actually thinking about for 2016. We shall see!!!
Hello,
I love your podcast! For some reason I can’t get #49 to play or download off your site? All your other podcasts I have been able to play off your website?
Is it just me?
Thank you!!
Tracy thanks for your kind words. Yesterday there was a problem but I think it’s fixed now!
I just thought you should know, it won’t play, or download.
I think it’s fixed now. It wasn’t working last week, but try again now. Thanks for letting me know!
I can so relate to your obsession with Serial + Undisclosed! Back in February during Adnan’s post-conviction relief hearing, I got no work done because I spent all my time on Periscope and Twitter trying to figure out what was going on! Love it.
Hey Jamie!! I signed up for IF: Redeemed study to receive through email and I have listened to a couple (one of which I just saw you on!) and I saw Jenn Jett and was so intrigued by her story of going through divorce (which she only just touched on) and how she seriously RADIATES SUCH JOY in her story. Would she ever want to come back on the show? I love her!
