Description

We're back at Motorco to feature stories about Blood, Sweat and Tears. Eight storytellers. Five minutes per story. One winner. Ever give your all to a home renovation or house flip? Not only was it physically taxing, but the emotional toll was enormous. Ever train for a marathon and feel like your body was just getting weaker and more beat down with every passing mile of training? Yeah, that's enough to make you cry. Or how about that one time you got into a fight, yes an actual fight, and at the end, both parties were a sobbing mess on the ground. For our next StorySLAM, we are exploring the stories of our Blood, Sweat & Tears. The grit, determination, and the emotional toll of it all.
