In this compelling episode of Clarity to Consciousness, Paul Sado, Emmy and Grammy-nominated writer and one of the writers behind Netflix’s hit movie Leo, sits down with Kristen Leigh Griffiths to explore the profound impact of storytelling. From his early life challenges to his success in Hollywood, Paul shares how personal experiences shape narratives and how the craft of storytelling can foster empathy and connection.
