Fearless Acceptance
May 19, 2022
We are often frightened or distrusting of those who look, think or act differently than us. In this episode, a compassionate hero reminds us that the vast diversity in our world does not hinder us; it serves us. But we must honor others just as they are.
Story Coach Lisa Bloom is the go-to expert on business storytelling. For decades she’s helped entrepreneurs master this important but overlooked skill. In Once Upon a Business, she’s turning her attention from the craft of storytelling to the stories themselves — the densely evocative folk and fairy tales that we’re all exposed to.
In this episode of Once Upon a Business, Lisa reads “Lucia Zenteno” and extracts rich business and life lessons that are applicable for entrepreneurs of all stripes.
