What is Grit: True Stories That Matter?

A weekly podcast (plus some other very cool stuff) about stories - the contemporary, personal narrative kind - and the people that craft and tell them.

Why you ask? Well, we want to feature these tellers and their GRIT stories. Also, to help you - our listeners - craft and tell better, more engaging, more relatable and more memorable stories (that matter!)

Sean Wellington is a teacher, speaker and story coach. He lives in Chapel Hill, NC
