Once upon a time, someone told a story.

And the story was passed on across generations and cultures. Perhaps the story sparked a new idea, inspired a person or fueled a larger change. Or maybe the story just made people happier.

But sometimes stories are lost. World-changing people, events and innovations often go unnoticed.

We want to change that.

Authored by two experienced storytellers and cultural explorers, The Journal of Cultural Conversation (TJCC) features stories about the creative people, places and things that are changing our world.

But TJCC is more than just a collection of stories. Through commentary, interviews and reviews, our writings aim to offer innovative ideas for change or inspire you to try something new, think differently or pioneer an unexplored trail.

Change Starts With You. What’s Your Story?

Change is the only certainty in life. We know it, we hear it, we live it.

But the concept of actually changing our culture is a big one. Doing it? Well, that’s an even larger feat.

So let’s start small. In our everyday lives, we already make little changes. We learn lessons. We share them. And those little changes add up to something big.

Change happens when we:

Decide to pursue our deepest passions in life – consider the entrepreneur who takes a leap of faith on a new business idea;

Embrace the new while celebrating the old – traveling to new places, meeting new people, and having new experiences that make our lives richer while also helping us to appreciate all the wonderful things we have in our lives already;

Open up our minds to what’s possible – rather than limiting our vision to what’s already right in front of us, we use our imagination to work toward building a better world.

The Journal of Cultural Conversation is your library for learning about how you and others are changing the world in small and big ways. So, consider this your classroom – the fun kind. Your only homework: Explore. Share. Have fun.

Then go change it up. One story at a time. We’re excited to hear what you have to say.
