Special episode! We are sharing an episode from the podcast The Rounds with Brandon & Taylor. It's kind of like a reunion of the original hosts of the Self Narrate podcast!

On this episode, Brandon talks with Self Narrate co-founder Jaron Jones, Ph.D.. Jaron is an expert in using storytelling to help achieve organizational goals, such as inclusion and retention. Ultimately, it boils down to developing a sense of belonging through understanding your why. Jaron shares practical and applicable ways to engage in storytelling no matter what you do or where you work.

This is also the first edition of Self Narrate After Dark. What does that mean? Well, "After Dark" is what we are going to be dubbing episodes that are geared towards adult audiences. We normally try to keep our stories at a PG rating, but sometimes a story incorporates more adult themes or language and it would be a disservice to censor them and a worse disservice to not feature the story for that content. So if explicit content isn't for you, you may want to skip Self Narrate's After Dark episodes.
