“You don’t know you need it till you need it,” says today’s guest, Chris Hare.
Chris is the host of The Storied Future Podcast and founder of The Storied Future, where he helps midmarket and enterprise CEOs create narratives that unlock a future where they can be celebrated.
In this deeply personal conversation with Daniel and Peter, Chris unpacks the process he uses to guide leaders through unearthing their own stories and crafting narratives that help them “make a dent in the universe.” Often, Chris says, leaders arrive at a moment that changes everything–one that requires a new personal narrative.
Chris shares wisdom and insight gleaned from both business and personal experiences and offers guidance for leaders who need to rewrite their narratives.
