186. Storytelling and Creativity in Business w/ LaToya Smith
Would you rather read the transcript? Click here. This is one of the most inspiring podcast interviews I’ve ever done. I thought that LaToya Smith and I were going to dive into inclusive hiring practices and how to build an anti-racist practice, but we ended up talking for a long time about the role of storytelling in her practice and elsewhere. LaToya shares some of her own story, then discusses how she has woven storytelling into mental health care and a separate venture called Strong Witness. We also discuss the role of creativity in business. Enjoy!
