Emily Gindlesparger is a masterful storyteller. She's a writer, an author, a coach, and a wildly courageous leader. She's also a hiker, a mountain biker and a fellow advocate for nature.

In this episode we discuss the power of writing, authentic storytelling, crafting memoirs, and how the entire process can be highly therapeutic. We dig into the emotions, change and deeper discovery that stories can unlock, especially when we tell them with real courage.

Emily is committed to a mission far beyond telling stories. She wants to help people increase their self-acceptance and compassion. That's REAL work.

I appreciate Emily for how she shows up. She's present and engaged whenever I invest time with her. Her leadership is helping a lot of people tell better stories, which creates greater impact and human connection.

Ryan Levesque is one of my favorite people to learn with. He's an intentional father, a proven entrepreneur, a seasoned investor and a regenerative family farmer.

He shares how he discovered a powerful gift of helping people identify their genius, and the unique occurrence of "demand pull."
