Description
Welcome to the Storydram podcast where hosts Kory LaCroix and Chris Kostelc share stories to help share The Story. Have you ever felt paralyzed when someone asks you a question? When someone asks us a question it's often better to answer with a story than a soundbite.
We call our conversation Storydram because a dram is small amount of something. We share small stories with big impacts. Our hope is that by sharing our stories, you feel more confident sharing yours.
