What happens when life strips away everything — your home, your art, your sense of self?
In this episode of The Business Growth Architect Show: Founders of the Future, I speak with Christopher Wesley, a storyteller and transformation coach who lost everything in the Altadena fire. But instead of letting tragedy define him, he used it to rebuild his identity and purpose from the ground up.
If you have had an event where you felt as if your world was falling apart, this conversation will give you ideas to reframe what “loss” really means—and how to find freedom in what’s left. Christopher shares his storytelling blueprint and how he is transforming this catastrophe into his future opportunity.
