  • S1E3: Julie Stewart of Salvage Sisters Antique Market
    Apr 19 2024

    This week's guest is found on the literal Main Street — happens to be Jefferson Street here in Franklin; lots of Founding Father names around here — in an antique shop next to a retired train station. Julie Stewart of Salvage Sisters Antique Market is a local establishment unto herself, and Riley and Zach dive into her story with all its twists and turns. (And even a surprise customer visit in the middle!)
