On this special edition of Ready: Leaders to Know, I sit down with Chicago-based film, television, and digital content director Ian Pfaff to talk about his first podcast series, Uncle Chris.

What makes this episode especially unique is that Ian and I have been close friends since childhood. That relationship is front and center as we explore what it means to tell deeply personal stories through podcasting—and how the stories we tell about ourselves, quite literally in this case, evolve as we do.
