Wired Together
Wired Together is a podcast about building a life, a business, and a partnership—one conversation at a time. Hosted by Jason and Melanie Winter, a husband-and-wife team based in rural Virginia, the show explores the intersection of technology, entrepreneurship, marriage, and modern small-town living.
With a focus on honest dialogue, relatable experiences, and thoughtful storytelling, each episode highlights the challenges and rewards of working together, adapting to change, and staying connected in a disconnected world.
Whether you're a small business owner, a creative couple, or someone navigating life’s complexities, Wired Together offers perspective, encouragement, and the occasional AI-powered twist.
