The Gory Story Episode: Because We Learn More From Gory Stories Than Glory Stories | Unlocking Moves Ep. 40

I believe that your gory story is much more powerful than your glory story. We all learn more from the lessons learned the hard way. As I like to say, the bigger the shit show, the bigger the lesson. Welcome to the Gory Story Episode. Join us for a special episode of Unlocking Moves - the show that dives into the pivotal moments in a leader's journey that unlocked their true potential! Many leaders only like to talk about their "glory" stories - but host Kurt Wilkin is a firm believer that we learn more from our stumbles and mistakes, or "gory" stories. Talking about these screwups, scary moments, and missteps from our entrepreneurial journey is often the best way to learn - and to help others! On this episode, Kurt reflects on some of the best gory stories from past episodes of Unlocking Moves. Our guests for this special episode include Allison and Stephen Ellsworth, Brian Moran, Kit Rich, Ramon Ray, LaQuita Cleare, and Mike Smerklo. Thank you all for sharing your GORY stories!
