On this kick-ass episode of Groove Life, I had a very chill, organic convo with NewBo City Market Executive Director Julie Parisi. We lost track of time chatting about pasta, hoppy beer, family, and dreaming of your best life! It’s hard not to laugh and feel like a better person around our guest. Whenever I see her at the Market, she meets me with a cold beer and a smile on her face. Let’s do this!!! -Shane
