It was a joy having Jake Bell join me on this episode of Plegges Pages! Jake is a husband, father, and State Farm agent, and our conversation covered everything from his journey in the insurance world to his growing love for reading. We also discussed the reading nook he built at home and how it has become a meaningful space for rest and growth.

This is a relaxed and encouraging conversation that I believe you’ll truly enjoy.
