Our goal is to help you build a sense of community in the Franklin area by bringing to you interesting people, stories, businesses, places, and things from Franklin Tennessee and the Middle Tennessee Area. Let’s build community and relationships where you can share your ideas and learn from others.

Franklin and Brentwood Tennessee are sister communities, back-to-back, just south of Nashville. We will post our first few episodes of the BrentwoodPodcast.com and the FranklinPodcast.com together. Later they will develop their own identity.

During our first podcast, we talked about a list of building community. This podcast will focus on a couple of items on this list (Know your neighbors, buy from local merchants, and learn new things and then share what you know.) Thank you for joining us as we continue to evolve our format.

During this Episode, Craig introduces us to Jim Johns of and Family of Affordable Professional Tree Service.
