In our first season, we will listen to leaders as they reflect on their origin stories, how [00:01:00] who they are. Has informed not only what they do, but also the how of it here. We will hear leaders talk about their work, their teams, their impact, and the causes and communities they serve. We will hear about their early beginnings. About belonging in community, about being rendered invisible or hyper visible, sometimes both. They will talk about identity, race, gender, socioeconomics, and many points in between. At Our Wellspring, leaders will share their impact stories, but of equal importance, they will share how their humanity has impacted that leadership story. Every episode is the source, the spring of something beautiful, something meaningful along the leadership journey. Welcome to Spring Point Partners, Our Wellspring. I am your host, [00:02:00] Uwe Cristina Coles. Bienvenidos.
