Every leader has a moment that changed how they think, lead, and live — a conversation that could have gone wrong, a decision no one else could make, the words that finally had to be said.
Into the Story is where they tell you what really happened. Communication strategist Bree Aesie talks with leaders, founders, and a few people you wouldn’t expect, and asks them to share the real story behind the moment — not the polished version.
