"It really helped to move... and leaving was the best decison because we created a new life... it was the perfect time to reinvent ourselves."  -- Genia Stemper

We are PSYCHED to present our interview with Russell and Genia Stemper. Not only was Russell one of James' favorite colleagues for 15 years, but he and Genia's exodus from Los Angeles was an early template for our family. They decided to change their hometown way before the pandemic changed the game for everyone else--and made it work for their family.

The only thing we can add to Genia's advice is these two are the most endearing people and we hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed making it.
