## Resource

📍 Recorded in the custom-designed TBBW office by CREATE+CO Stories Shape Culture. And sometimes, one story can transform an entire company or community. In this episode of Create A Place, Kristina sits down with Bridgette Bello, Publisher of Tampa Bay Business & Wealth Magazine, to explore how storytelling shapes leadership, culture, and connection. From co-founding TBBW with a vision of uplifting stories, to curating leaders who embody vulnerability and integrity, Bridgette shares why stories have the power to build trust, pride, and belonging. They jump right into: - Why one “bad apple” can derail an entire culture- The impact of raw storytelling on leadership and community trust- How physical space reflects brand values and tells its own story- Why Tampa Bay’s ecosystem uniquely supports women and small businesses- What it will take to build a unified identity for the region It’s a candid, human-centered conversation about the stories we tell, the spaces we create, and the cultures that emerge from both.
