Everyone has a story worth telling.

What’s the most cringeworthy move you can make in business? Buying followers might take the top spot, but it’s a surprisingly close race. In this anything-goes jam session, Mike Lindstrom & Scott Leese hold nothing back. No shared notes. Mike rates the corporate buzzwords we all love to hate. Is “synergy” the worst? Does anyone actually have the “bandwidth”? Then they rank the most common ways people fake it and which platforms will matter most for B2B in 2026. The conversation shifts to the W

Ian Lopatin did not post anything for 53 years. He built Spiritual Gangster, sold a yoga studio chain to Lifetime Fitness, and stayed behind the brand. He is back on What's Your Story with Mike Lindstrom and Scott Leese, almost a year to the day after episode 5. Two years sober next week. His book, The Way of a Spiritual Gangster, comes out 10-10. The shirt says Stress Sober... but it doesn't mean what you think. There are only two states, he says. Stress, where 99 percent of people live. And

Mike Lindstrom and Scott Leese started What's Your Story on the side of the road after a blown tire. 51 episodes later they unpack the podcast mistakes that almost killed Year One. No guest.

He told Mike Lindstrom & Scott Leese the whole climb. A five-year-old in a leaky 76 Pinto hears Foreigner's "Hot Blooded" and Don McLean's "American Pie." He begs for a guitar. The Italian family in St. Louis can only swing accordion rentals. Then a grandfather buys the guitar, a 14-year-old rides his bike to a 100-watt YMCA station, and at 16 he

John Moriarty says the number one money mistake is treating net worth like a scoreboard. Regular earners do it. The 1% does it too. He is back on What’s Your Story? with Mike & Scott after his first appearance in Episode 32. This time the conversation is the business, the kids, and the beliefs that quietly run the bank account. John built e3 Wealth and co-wrote The Entrepreneur Playbook. Thirty years in finance and he still starts with the same question. What is your relationship with money? S
