0:00.0	Hey, friends. Welcome back to the old-fashioned on-purpose podcast.
0:03.9	So today, we are diving into a topic that's been very popular and has generated a lot of
0:08.8	discussion as of late. And that is the topic of building community. And you've heard me talk
0:16.0	quite vulnerably this season about my struggles with building community, some of the roadblocks
0:20.4	we've hit recently. Last season, we had norm from strong towns join us and we kind of talked about
0:26.0	the overarching pieces of community and how to create strong towns and bolster neighborhoods
0:32.5	or rural communities. But today, I wanted to take this community discussion in a slightly

0:52.1	So I am so excited to have Christine Marie Bailey joining me. She is a former music
0:58.7	industry gal, turned entrepreneur and produce and flower farmer. So she is the author of the Kindred
1:05.7	Life and also host the Kindred Life podcast. And I'm going to let her give a little bit more of her
1:09.9	backstory. But welcome, Christine. Thank you, Jill. This is so fun to be here. I love this topic.

1:24.4	Oh, yay. So fun. Yeah. Yeah. Thanks for the intro. But I'm a regenerative farmer in Tennessee.
1:30.6	You're on Kindred Farm. And yeah, building community is, is our heart for everything that we do here.
1:36.7	Hmm. I love that. So I thought I was looking through your website. I think it was on one of your
1:40.9	book, you were talking about your book. And one sentence really stuck out to me and it said,
1:45.6	why connection matters, a rallying cry for connection in a time when we need to reclaim and recapture
1:51.5	what's being lost by busyness, distraction and isolation. And I was like, oh, so good.
