Welcome back to Within the Glasswood Forest. In Episode 6, we are sitting by the fire in the Arkansas Ozark Mountains, talking through the little moments that refill your creative tank. From spotting a squirrel in a tree to swapping stories about childhood movies, old Nintendo memories, and the strange beauty of clear night skies, this campfire conversation turns into something bigger: how imagination shows up when you finally slow down enough to notice it.

Jonathon Guidry (CEO, Co-Founder) and Sarah Guidry (CFO, Co-Founder) share what the Ozarks are teaching us right now, including how travel sparks new book ideas (like a mysterious staircase in the middle of nowhere), why nostalgia can be fuel, and how family moments become the kind of “core memories” you carry forever.

If you are a parent trying to stay present, a writer needing inspiration, or someone rebuilding your creativity one small moment at a time, this episode is for you.

Welcome back to Within the Glasswood Forest!

In this special short from the Arkansas Ozarks, Jonathon Guidry, CEO & Co-Founder of Glasswood Storyworks, is joined by Sarah Guidry, CFO, Co-Founder, and co-author of their shared pen names, Eden J. Spark & M. Rose. Together, they take listeners behind the scenes of a family trip that turned into a wellspring of new story ideas and creative renewal.

Set against the backdrop of fall colors and mountain air, Jonathon and Sarah reflect on the humor of everyday life, the balance between work and wonder, and how moments of stillness often spark the best stories. Between laughter, campfire tales, and spontaneous Bigfoot legends, this short captures the spirit of what Glasswood Storyworks stands for—family, creativity, and imagination rooted in nature.

Whether you’re a parent seeking inspiration, an author in need of a creative recharge, or simply someone who loves seeing the world through a storyteller’s eyes, this brief adventure through the Ozarks will remind you why slowing down always leads to discovery.
