My guest today is Noell Jett, the creative force behind the popular Jett Set Farmhouse, which you may have seen on Instagram and TikTok. 

Noell shares the unbelievable story behind her beautiful 3,700-square foot custom farmhouse in Florida – built by hand and savvy influencer marketing – and the key strategies she learned while overcoming a difficult past.

Since her husband Daniel is a contractor and she has a love for all things home, it is no surprise they dreamed of building their own home since they met. It took them eight years of planning and searching to get their home just right for them and their four – soon to be five – children.

In her new book, In From the Ground Up: Building a Dream House—and a Beautiful Life—through Grit and Grace, Noell shares the inside story behind their farmhouse and delivers a compelling vision for people who want to discover how to overcome their pasts and achieve their own dreams.

FEATURED QUOTES

Sometimes we have these dreams and these aspirations that we look toward, but we don’t really know the gravity of what we could accomplish. 

One day you may look up and be like, “Wow, not only did I accomplish what I wanted to accomplish. I’ve accomplished so much more than I ever dreamed possible.”

God is love, and He is goodness … and He loves us just the way we are.
