Final Words:
I feel that I only want to work with people that have the insights that come from overcoming serious challenges. I value people who have the insights and the experiences and not the manufactured experiences.
Stories sell. The problem is people are manufacturing these stories to sell. Let's keep the authenticity and find authentic people and businesses to align with.
When it's working right, it's scary to be honest about your story, it's scary for everyone. There's some magic that happens when two people align with common experiences.
Stay tuned for his podcast episode 25 when he switches to Series Story-Telling. Jerry will be interviewing people that are pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
