Everyone is on the other side of something and we think those stories matter. They teach us, shape us, and mold us into the people we are today. On The Other Side podcast hosts Jamie Ivey and Aaron Ivey sit down with individuals, not necessarily for the story of what happened, but what life is like on the other side of that story. We believe that stories have a unique ability to bring people together and that we are all on the other side of something. Join us as we hear stories from people on the other side.
