We Said Yes.

Two people.  Two different takes.

Two bullhead people.  Two opinionated people.

Where’s the lie, though?  There isn’t one.  When Jeff and I started this podcast, I don’t even want to say started it.  When we were tossing the idea around almost two years ago, now – we never expected this. I know at least I didn’t.  Pretty sure he didn’t either.

The funny thing about both of us is that we are both big babies, too.  Tough, but softies.  So I didn’t know if we would actually be able to do this together.  And let me tell you what has happened.  Through this podcast, and prepping the podcast, I realized that Dr. Jeffery Redding is a big deal.  Not in the music way (I mean, he’s is, but that isn’t what I mean).  I mean, if you get out of this man’s way, his creativity is astounding.  He is really the brains behind a lot of what you see. And it works.

 I also learned, that Kristie Greenberg is a lot smarter, and has a lot more gumption that what she ever thought.  And that everything doesn’t have to be perfect.  You see, I am a perfectionist.  If it can’t be perfect and successful, I have a tendency to quit.  Jeff wouldn’t allow me to quit.  When I felt overwhelmed with mom-ing, work, school, and trying to create the podcast – he would force me to sit and do one task at a time.  And he would then carry then podcast stuff.  My guys, this is what a partnership looks like – and I never knew it.  I always thought I had to do it all – or it would be wrong.

I now see, that listening to someone else, albeit it might not be my way, doesn’t mean that it’s a wrong way.  And if I can get my head out of my own proverbial rear – there’s a chance that it could be better.  We have argued. We have fought.  We have compromised.  We have prayed. And I wouldn’t change a thing.

Jeff likes my writing, and we talked about doing a blog on this site. Just to give you a behind the scenes look. So I am doing it.  But I chose that the first should start out with a huge Thank you.

 A thank you to Jeff, for pushing me and forcing me to listen when I didn’t want to.  Thank you carrying the load when I couldn’t carry my part.  Thank you for teaching me to be laser focused and pushing through when I felt overwhelmed.  Thank you for being a friend.   

 And to you guys.  THANK  YOU.  THANK YOU.  THANK YOU. Thank you for making us feel loved.  Responding to us.  Growing our brand. And really sharing and loving on us in this time.  It is so hard to put yourself out in a public forum. And you all have came at us filled with love, ideas, and encouragement.  And can I say again, ENCOURAGEMENT! In a world where folks love to drag you down, you my ReddandGreeno’s  - are uplifting, loving, and create success.

 So, thank you guys, for making this girl’s dream come true.  And we haven’t even really got going yet.  Xoxo.
