In this inaugural episode of The Best of Johnston County podcast, meet Jonathan Breeden, a dedicated family law attorney who's made Johnston County his legal home. Tune in for an intimate introduction and an unfolding narrative.

Track 1: I am here, Richard, how are you?

What I wanna start off with before we get too far into this is why don't you just tell me a little bit about who you are and who your clients are and what you do there in Johnston County?

And I've been right here at this intersection since then.

We also do guardianships, wills, powers of attorney. So anything that affects your family we help people with. We do not do real estate closings or bankruptcies or personal injury or any of that kind of stuff. But we mainly focus on family law and that's . Pretty much been our focus since we started.

We currently have four associate attorneys working with me. So we have five attorneys total we have five staff paralegals. have um, people to help us on the phones. So, been growing really fast. We've been very blessed to be here in Johnston County for this time.

And look forward to moving forward in the future here. are a lot of great things happening here right now. The growth, of course, is exponential in the area with the business. And so, just glad to be a part of it and thankful to citizens of Johnson County that have allowed us to make a living here for the last 23 years.

Track 1: You know, I want this podcast to promote the community of Johnston County. This county has been so good to me and its citizens have been so good to me. I thought, why not start a podcast to promote other businesses, community leaders interesting citizens of the area. To give them a platform to tell a little bit about their story.

I've been very fortunate build this practice to a level to where I can tell my story in a lot of different formats through web, video. got a lot of different ways to set, share my story. I. But a lot of small businesses do not have the same opportunity to share their story and their stories are as good or better than mine.

This is not about, I. Jonathan Breeden or Breeden Law, it's really about this community and all the great things that are going on in it. There's a ton of people that have moved here in the last 20 years. I mean, this area has really exploded and continues to explode, and I'm hoping that this podcast will be found by.

And they don't realize that a lot of the, advantages businesses, those same businesses, those same services can be gotten here in Johnston County and they're just not aware of them. And so part of this is to brace some awareness of . What businesses and what resources are actually available to them closer to home here in Western Johnston County and where they don't have to drive to Raleigh or Durham or Chapel Hill to get a lot of the things that are right here.

And I don't think a lot of people are aware of how many great businesses, restaurants, and community organizations actually are right here in Western Johnson County and whatever they need to support them or their families, whether they be their interests, sports. Restaurants, food, entertainment, all of that stuff can be found here and they don't have to go there.

We'll make sure that we promote this podcast across all social media outlets.

But really, it's really a gonna be, I see it as a community resource and I'm looking forward to it. I mean, I'm, I've not been as excited about a new project. In a really long time. And I think it's gonna be great. I don't know that I'll be the greatest podcast guest that there ever was or host that there ever was, but I think it'll be fun.

I think it'll be hopefully it's gonna be entertaining educational to everybody that listens. I.
