My latest episode w Steven Stark , President+CEO of Tsawwassen Shuttles , the largest business within his @TsawwassenFN , embodies what the podcast was designed for. It breaks stigmas, teaches,+uses storytelling to highlight overcoming adversity, not being defined by challenges, but using them to build, to lead, putting past struggles where they belong-into the character of a man who teaches us that working incredibly hard can build the unimaginable.
