I’m your host Ashley Yousling. Today I’m talking with Madelynn Sare. I first met Madelynn when she came into our family to help watch our three boys. Shortly after meeting her, I knew one day she would work at Making. Madelynn has a huge heart for kids, for people, for those who often go unlooked and underestimated, and an intense passion for changing the world. She does so much at Making, from managing all the classes, to social media, and helping make everyone around us feel loved. Madelynn‘s story is a really good one and I’m so happy you get to hear it today.You can connect with Madelynn on the Making app @madmakes Immerse yourself in crafting culture.
