In this week’s episode of Impact Driven Leader, Tyler spoke with the founder and Chief Question Asker of the 7:47 Gratitude Experience™, Chris Schembra. Chris shares his journey, highlighting how hosting pasta dinners became a catalyst for change, not just for himself, but for a growing community seeking connection and understanding. We explore the power of gratitude, the importance of empathy, and the healing potential of sharing a meal, as Chris reveals how these elements combined to reshape his perspective on life and forge a path toward healing and happiness.
