As we usher in the new year here at the Apple Seed, we’ve been thinking a lot about beginnings: maybe you’re starting a relationship, or picking up a new hobby, moving to a new house, or travelling to a foreign land. But whether that foreign land is across the ocean or across the street to your local gym, January and February often mark the beginning of more than just the year. Join the Apple Seed team as we listen to stories about those beginnings—the times our tellers and their characters tried something new.
