The Power of Storytelling

Welcome to the home of the SLĀ Podcast, a platform for young professionals to inspire youth through the power of storytelling.

We take an earnest, introspective look into their lives, digging into their formidable early childhood and adolescence years, finding their way through early adulthood and achieving professional success, and the obstacles they’ve yet to overcome. The goal of the podcast is to not just inform students of the possibilities, but to provide relatable role models to inspire them to put forth the effort no matter what obstacles may stand in their way.

If you are interested in being a guest and sharing your story, including the hardships you had to overcome to achieve success (relevant to expectation), schedule your podcast today at talkw.me/@SLAFoundation.
