Authenticity Matters is an one-hour program hosted by Jen Coyne.Each episode of Authenticity Matters features a special guest who has unique expressions of authenticity andjourneys to finding their authentic path.

This month I’m really pleased to talk to Ren Rice, creator, owner, and operator of The Romance Era Bookshop, a new boutique book store in Vancouver Washington. Ren is a wonderful community-maker, and a generous spirit in the entrepreneurial journey. Every time I talk to Ren, I learn something new that defies stereotypes and demonstrates their authentic nature. I’m excited to be able to share their story with you and hopefully inspire you to strive for an authentic life, as early as you possibly can.
