Welcome to Journey into the Present with Bryan Burrs and guest Leslie Storms, president of Ethos Veterinary Health. In this episode Leslie recounts a raw, recent leadership moment: she had to withhold news of her departure during a major company spin-off and lead her team through uncertainty. The conversation explores the emotional toll of staying present under pressure, the priority of serving a team over personal discomfort, and the lessons in authenticity, courage, and leadership that came from that day.
