Our Voices Matter Podcast
Our stories have the power to bring us closer together, if only we will listen. Emmy Award-winning journalist and entrepreneur, Linda Lorelle, guides guests through insightful, intimate conversations that reveal our common humanity. This show is not about politics; it is about finding a way to reclaim civility in the context of the contentious times in which we live, by sharing our personal and professional stories, in hopes that others might find a glimpse of themselves.

Check Your Ego
Is there someone in your family with whom you disagree politically? How do you handle that? Do you allow them to speak freely while you listen with an open mind? As you know, that’s the Our Voices Matter mantra. It’s one this week’s guest actively practices in his own family, as well as among the 500 employees who staff his restaurant business, including its signature concepts, The Tasting Room and Max’s Wine Dive. Jerry Lasco, CEO of Lasco Enterprises, sits down with me to share how his midwestern values and growing up in the military play a role in how he shows up in the world today, as a husband, father and entrepreneur whose life trajectory changed on 9-11.
