Gut Punch: The Stories That Shape Us

Gut Punch is a podcast about the moments that stop us in our tracks—
the setbacks, the surprises, the breakthroughs, and the turning points that change who we are.

Created and hosted by Kathryn Lancioni, Gut Punch brings honest, unfiltered conversations to the forefront. Each episode dives into the real stories behind resilience and reinvention, exploring how people navigate struggle, rebuild after adversity, and find meaning in the moments they never saw coming.

Featuring leaders, founders, creatives, educators, and everyday changemakers, the show shines a light on the human side of success—the part we rarely talk about but all experience. Guests share not just what happened, but how it shaped them, what they learned, and how they moved forward.

Produced in partnership with the Digital Transformation Broadcast Network, Gut Punch is a space for powerful storytelling, compassionate dialogue, and the reminder that none of us is alone in our hardest moments.

Whether you’re in the middle of your own “gut punch” or simply looking for inspiration, connection, and perspective, this podcast offers conversations that are raw, real, and deeply human.

Because every story has a turning point. And sometimes, it takes a gut punch to find out who we really are.
