GUTS, GLORY & STORY

The year 2020-2021, will be known as a year that transported us from a world we knew into a world that’s defined by completely different rules. And as we are hurtling into the new world – known as the next normal or the new normal, we all look peer out of the window panes as while the train is still moving, trying to ascertain what exactly the destination will look like, and what will be the contours of this new world.

 

No one has the true picture, since the picture itself is evolving. But if we can grasp even little pieces of the jigsaw, we can try and make sense of the changing reality a tad bit better. Some people are closer to the action and thus have better perspectives – because they are industry leaders with a view from the top. And then there are others grabbing out little pieces of experience and getting a small piece out of the big picture. Guts, Glory and Story is not an attempt to capture the story of any individual – but rather, of all of us, who are battling Covid19 in our own way. As we attempt to decode the next normal, we will run two parallel streams – for starters, we will attempt to read the direction of the wind in specific industries as it navigates the crisis. Here, we speak to the top leaders in the industry.

 

Secondly we will unlock peer to peer inspiration through every day human stories of students, families, professionals, entrepreneurs, senior citizens as they fight the crisis and prepare for the next normal. Both formats will run in parallel on LinkedIn, YouTube and Facebook. The interview series will be run in a live webinar every Saturday starting 15th August 2020 between 6 and 7 pm. The human stories channel will release 2-3 video stories throughout the week. By this initiative we hope to contribute in our little way to get a better grasp of the Covid crisis and will be only be too happy if it helps people cope with it in a better way.

The Covid battle rages on, and while we have hope that it should ebb and give us some relief, we are back with Season 2

And, in this Season we focus on our title – Guts Glory & Story – bringing you stories of Guts and Glory. And boy we have a powerful line up for this Season! 

Stay Tuned!
