“The dreams that you have are sometimes just a question away.” -George Couros

George Couros shares that this podcast is inspired by his mom who taught him that it never hurts to ask! It is better to ask and hear “no” than it is to not ask and never know. Couros shares two powerful examples - one from his personal and one from his professional life - where asking a question created an opportunity to turn a dream into a reality!
