Description

The founder is retiring. The team is evolving. The story… gets archived?

Not so fast.

In this episode, Stacy shares what to do before you toss the origin story and how to transition from version 1.0 to 2.0 without losing the magic.

Inside the episode:
 • Why “retiring the founder” ≠ “retiring the story”
 • How to pull legacy threads into your firm’s next chapter
 • What to do if the original story was never that strong to begin with

This is Story Snacks, a bite-sized, jam-packed series for fund managers who are ready to master strategic storytelling in under 20 minutes a week.
