Host Danielle Krischick has real conversations with leaders, industry experts and change-makers who share how they use stories to drive human connection in the workplace—beginning with the story of who they are.
There’s a difference between sacrifice and torture. Sacrifice is doing something for a known period of time and for a clear end in mind. Without either, sacrifice becomes torture.”
That’s the quote that made Stephen “Shed” Shedletzky quit his miserable corporate job and start the career he actually wanted—which led to 10 years on Simon Sinek’s team, a book on speak-up cultures, and a worldview that will make you rethink every “I’ll just stick it out” you’ve ever told yourself.
In this conversation, Shed and Danielle dig into why the trusted circle of people who don’t clap for everything you do is the antidote to narcissism, why “I want you to speak up… so long as you agree with me” is the most toxic phrase in corporate America, and the story of his grandfather—a Holocaust survivor who walked home at night for two months that gave him the courage to demand more from his own life.
This is the episode you send to a friend who’s stuck. Don’t sit on it.
