With his life already feeling chaotic, Jesse learned that his new baby girl not only has Down syndrome, but would also need a heart surgery.  It was a tailspin, and he found himself struggling to connect with his daughter.  But as he cared for her, he determined he would fight for her. This resolve led to Jesse writing and recording an album about this  journey, and how he and his daughter built bridges.  Listen in to my conversation with Jesse Norell!

Phil Martin (Kyle's Dad) speaks and writes about life and business principles, and to celebrate his new book "Take the Stage: 64 Essential Leadership Lessons Learned from Theatre" I interview him on some (not all 64) of those principles.  He dives into the importance of your story, going beyond communicating to truly connecting, to inviting the audience into the story, and finally defining success.
