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
