Under Contstruction

Last Christmas, my sister-in-law gave me a book about the back story of Chip and Joanna Gaines called The Magnolia Story.   I read with much interest how they merged his interest in real estate investing and construction with her interest in design to create one of the most popular brands in our industry.  They chose not to reveal a "pie in the sky" fairy tale about how perfect they are, but talked intimately about their personal struggles with their business, their relationship and their faith.  They have chosen to make their foundation of faith more public through several interviews and videos.  For a quick (7 min) look at their story, click here, and for a more in depth interview (50 min) with them, check this out.  With most of our media saturated with a "if it feels good, do it" message, I love that Chip and Joanna have chosen to offer something different.
