  • Summary

  • Everybody has a story. Sharing them and listening to others is how we learn, grow, and get out of our own experiences. In these episodes you’ll find a range of people from various backgrounds - entrepreneurs, thought leaders and those just striving to do more. I’ve always loved human stories, and I hope after some of these - you do too. @iamjonnyrose
