Kevin Oakley and Julie Jarnagin welcome Jen Barkan for this week's episode! Things kick off with Kevin bringing up the point that oftentimes, the truth is "old", but never gets old, and Julie followed up with a core lesson learned in writing school -- you have to learn the rules before you can break them. 

Story Time (5:36): 

• Jen wanted to start tracking her nutrition, and was given an assessment to be assigned a coach, which she was originally skeptical of. She was pleasantly surprised by how personalized the experience was, and how her coach set a great expectation of response time. 
• Julie had a really fun builder call with DYC team member Becca, and loves the process of solving puzzles with partners to hit their goals. 
• Kevin talks about a concept he's looking forward to touching on at Summit -- the truth is "old," but never "gets old."
