  • No Turning Back: Final Episode
    2022/08/09

    No Turning Back first began in April of 2020, originating as a video series where Stan McChrystal and Chris Fussell would speak with some of the world’s most consequential leaders about leadership and resilience through such unprecedented times. This video series served as a way to bring people together for a conversation and gave viewers a slight reprieve from the uncertainty in our world. We quickly realized there was a larger audience who were looking for impactful conversations like No Turning Back.

    Since then, we’ve released over 75 conversations with leaders of all different backgrounds and industries, discussing their experiences facing the pressing challenges they and their organizations encounter every day. As we wrap up this series, we’re taking a look back at the favorite episodes from our team who helped create No Turning Back from behind the scenes.
