There’s so many interesting and exciting ways to tell a story in the first place.” (09:50)“I spent a long time in the world of creating movements, which led me down this road of kinda seeing firsthand how the world has lost empathy through the lens of online movements. That’s really become obvious in the world in the last year or two.” (23:16)“Conversations is the only tool we have, short of killing each other, to be perfectly blunt. And if we don’t. And our toolset for conversation has expanded. I would venture to guess that there’s an exponential six month over six month increase in the amount of nuance that has to go into a particular public conversation.” (27:50)“I think there’s something really powerful about making external the internal experience.” (33:17)“I’m obsessed with that moment of people experiencing what you put into the world.” (40:27)“Most stories that people have about travel come from this idea of ‘went somewhere, found myself in a bad position and somebody saved my ass.’ That’s generally the through line. And the learning there is that people tend to be awesome the world over.” (44:49)THANK YOU SPONSORS!FocusriteFullCastLINKS MENTIONED*FullCast Website *Podcast Junkies Junkies Facebook GroupLink to Podfest Expo Virtual SummitWill’s InstagramWill’s LinkedInWill’s TwitterWill’s FacebookWill’s PodcastContact Will about the Podcast – (332) 877-9540 (keyword ‘POD’)Baggage Claim InstagramBaggage Claim LinkedInBaggage Claim TwitterBaggage Claim FacebookLink to Nation BuilderLink to ClubhouseLink to Bunches?Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCast
