New Season of Storybooks Preview

New Season of Storybooks Preview

I am very excited to be working on Season Four of Storybooks, Gregg Jorritsma with… Season Four represents a change in direction for the season. This season we will focus on conversations with industry experts about issues like change management, managing through a recession, security for technology access and much, much more.

The objective for this season is to speak to individuals that have developed expertise during their experience with a startup, emerging company or multi-national corporation and explore how the lessons they have learned can positively impact any entrepreneurs in our audience.

Consistent with the original format these lessons will come in the form of stories based on the guest’s personal experience.

I am excited about this evolved format, and we will continue to speak with entrepreneurs about their journey as we learn about their domain expertise.

Please join me for Season Four of Storybooks, Gregg Jorritsma with…

Thanks

A Hitchhiker's Guide to Storytelling

When I was young, I used to hitchhike a lot. It was the 80’s, and well it was still commonplace. Most often I would travel from my hometown of Burks Falls to my older brother’s apartment in Toronto or about 375 kms each way. For about 4 …
