The theme: How business and nonprofit leaders found their world upended in a single day or by a single event — whether good, bad or simply shocking — and how they navigated their way forward. Each interview wraps up with lessons learned from the experience. This year, the podcast won a bronze award in the New England Better Newspaper Competition among media organi- zations in six states. "Interesting concept, and really well done," the judges said of "The Day That Changed Everything."
