    Teri Pruitt: 25 Years on Broadway | Leadership, Teamwork & The Magic Behind the Curtain

    Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with 25-year Broadway veteran and founder of Open the Aperture Teri Pruitt. Most people think Broadway is all about the stars. Teri Pruitt knows the real magic happens because hundreds of people work together behind the curtain — communicating, collaborating, trusting one another, solving problems, and showing up every night ready to perform. After more than 30 years as a professional theatre artist, including over 25 years on Broadway, Teri has experienced firsthand how the theatrical process creates one of history's most fascinating living laboratories for teamwork, leadership, communication, collaboration, and trust. That experience became the foundation for Open the Aperture, where Teri brings the lessons of theater into the business world through keynotes, workshops, consulting, and conversations designed to help organizations see their people, teams, and possibilities differently. Her roots are in Overland Park, Kansas, but her remarkable professional story took hold in New York City and on Broadway. In this wide-ranging conversation, we cover the entire ride — from her Kansas City-area beginnings to more than two decades of Broadway experience and the evolution of that experience into a new mission helping leaders and organizations. What can Broadway teach us about leadership? What does it take to build trust within a team? How do hundreds of people with different roles and responsibilities work together toward one shared outcome? Teri Pruitt has spent decades living those answers. This is a fascinating conversation about Broadway, theater, leadership, teamwork, communication, trust, collaboration, creativity, career transformation, and the power of seeing the bigger picture.

    Stephanie Renner: From Regret to Resilience | Grief, Leadership & Finding Purpose After Loss

    Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with attorney, keynote speaker, and creator of the Regret to Resilience Method Stephanie Renner. Drawing on nearly 25 years of advising CEOs and organizations, Stephanie helps people confront the regret that can quietly hold them back — and transform it into resilience, clarity, purpose, and forward movement. Her work became deeply personal after she lost her son, Jordan, to suicide. Living through profound grief, guilt, and regret forced Stephanie to find a way through the pain rather than around it. Along that journey, she developed the Regret to Resilience Method, a seven-pillar framework designed to help people release the endless “if onlys,” separate their self-worth from outcomes they could never control, and move forward without abandoning the people and experiences they loved. Stephanie has also seen how unresolved regret can affect far more than our personal lives. It can show up in leadership, teams, workplace performance, decision-making, relationships, and the lives of people who appear to have everything together on the outside while carrying an invisible weight within. From her base in Louisville, Kentucky, Stephanie shares a deeply moving story about loss, leadership, grief, resilience, regret, healing, and discovering renewed purpose. This is an honest conversation about what we carry, what we cannot change, and how we can learn to move forward while honoring what mattered most.
