      This week we are sharing our takeaways in our new episode format, the interview debrief. In episode 48, we got to sit down with Jason Raitz, an Enneagram 4 and founder of Speak with People. We learned so much about his personal journey, how he works to keep his creativity sharp, and the team he has surrounded himself with to fill in the gaps.


      Here's what you need to know about Jason and Speak with People:

      About Speak with People:

      Speak with People is elevating the importance and practice of healthy communication in leaders lives by inspiring, educating, empowering and equipping leaders to become healthy, confident, clear, and effective communicators.

Whether it's one on one, on a team, from a stage or behind a camera, he believes passionately that every leader should invest great time and resources in becoming a healthy communicator. Many leaders communicate, but few communicate in healthy ways. That’s why he started Speak with People.

                • Interview Debrief: What we learned about Enneagram 2's from our conversation with Jared and Garrett of Motion Creative Media

                  Hey friends! Welcome to EntrepreNINES hosted by John Wist and Bonni Mace. We're two enneagram 9s who have taken the leap into the world of entrepreneurship at a similar time. Join us as we laugh and learn together and work to build businesses with soul.


                  Introducing a new type of episode: the interview debrief. In today's episode, we are sharing our takeaways from our interview with the two 2s from Motion Creative - Jared and Garrett. We noticed and learned quite a few things from niche tendencies to the boxes we put ourselves in. We hope you listen in!


                  Here's what you need to know about Jared, Garrett, and Motion Creative:

                  About Motion:

                  From humble beginnings as a partnership to create a client video in 2018, Motion Creative Media developed into a full-time production company by 2022. Before co-founding Motion Creative Media in Greeneville, TN, owners Jared Collins and Garrett Ware dedicated over a decade to individual pursuits, working for successful local businesses while juggling their creative endeavors as side gigs. Recognizing the transformative potential of combining their skillsets, they brought their expertise and skillsets together to form a company anchored in shared passions of photography, videography, adventure, and service.

                  You can follow their work at www.motioncreative.media and on Youtube. You can also find their podcast "Faith & Frames" on your favorite podcasting platform.


                  About Jared:

                  If Jared doesn't have a camera in hand, or his fingers immersed in an editing program, he's probably doing something on his small family farm because when he's outside, with his family, he's happiest. He loves to work in his vegetable garden, he loves to camp, and he loves to hunt in his spare time.


                  About Garrett:

                  He's a lover of Jesus. He won the heart of a woman way out of his league and he now gets the privilege of chasing his three-ring circus all over the place! He's severely addicted to "unlovable" cameras and documenting life in Appalachia.
