Welcome to the Conversation
Welcome to Impact Unedited - I'm Coach Chris, and this is episode zero.
Before we get into the real conversations, I wanted to pull up a chair and tell you what this podcast is, why we built it, and what you can expect each week.
Impact Unedited is a space to hear real stories and perspectives from young leaders - and occasionally the people who are invested in developing them. No edits, no cuts, no cleaning things up in the production room. Just honest conversations about leadership and what we're each doing with the 168 hours we get every week.
Here's how it works: each week we drop a new guest episode, and the following week that same guest comes back for a Flip The Mic episode - where they get to ask me any two questions they want. Catch? I don't know what's coming until we hit record.
Episode 1 is already live. Go hit play.
