In today’s episode we welcome Kevin’s wife, Jacqueline Reape to the podcast! By day Jacqueline works at VU Realty in Columbia, Missouri, but the story of her inner person is much deeper than any nine-to-five could ever meaningfully define.

In fact, Jacqueline is a hobbyist, which means if there’s a hobby out there, she’s probably tried it. One of her most well-known hobbies? Scrapbooking, actually, which leads us into an interesting discussion surrounding the way we document history. Is history being skewed by what people choose to highlight on social media? Will digital mediums like social media prove to be a reliable way to document our lives long-term? And better yet, is there a certain sentimental power in knowing that our own hands and the hands of our loved ones were the hands that places the photos between the pages of our most meaningful scrapbooks?

We also dive into conversation about what legacy can look like in leadership, the therapeutic benefits of exercise and letting movement fuel your vivacity, and when it’s important to prioritize friendship over productivity.

Next, we dig into their marriage and the legacies they both hope to leave behind when - as we like to say - it’s all said and done. And let us tell you, folks, this is the soil where all the choice gems were sleeping peacefully. The topics we discuss include:

• the importance of assuming positive intent in your loved ones
• their longstanding commitment to never bicker about the small things
• making your spouse’s dreams your own dreams
• their desire to be remembered as a couple that loved people well in the company of good food and drink
• their hopes for the next 30 years to be “more of the same”

And finally, we think you’ll be most moved by Jacqueline’s hopes to be remembered as the friend who was there - the present one - in both the moments of celebration and difficulty. Maybe legacy is more simple than we thought?

If you’re enjoying the FinalVibe podcast, we couldn’t be happier. As a small token of thanks, would you be willing to give us a positive review on your streaming platform of choice? We sure would appreciate it. Have a great week, folks.
