Steve Grove - The Business Behind Storytelling

Season Two of Leverage Storytelling kicks off with a jolt. In the premiere episode, host Arick Wierson sits down with Steve Grove, CEO and publisher of the Minnesota Star Tribune, for a candid, high-energy conversation about leadership, reinvention, and why local journalism is anything but dead.  Grove opens up about building one of the country’s most successful digital media models, the unexpected feedback he’s received since publishing his book last year, and what it’s like leading a newsroom that’s become a national test case for the future of media.  The conversation also zooms out to something bigger: Minnesota is having a moment—and the state is commanding attention in ways it hasn’t historically. Smart, reflective, and forward-looking, this episode sets the tone for where the season is headed.  Please note that this interview was recorded prior to the current unrest enveloping Minnesota and the Twin Cities.
