GRIT
STORYTELLING FORUM
Gathering Real Insight Together.
True stories of leadership grit.
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2026 · NOON TO 3:00
SHADY MAPLE SMORGASBORD · EAST EARL, PENNSYLVANIA
Most of us have had a year we don't bring up at the Sunday dinner table.
On November 4, four business owners will talk about theirs. Not the version that goes in the advertising. The part that usually gets left out: what it cost them, what they got wrong, and what they know now that they wish they had known going in.
Each one has fifteen minutes. Nobody is selling anything from the front of the room.
Lunch and your seat are covered. Registration is handled through Eventbrite.

There is a card on every table with a few questions on it. Four owners will tell their stories from the front of the room. The rest belongs to whoever is sitting with you. Every seat is a storyteller's seat.
