“I used to think hope meant being in a difficult moment like that and saying, but things will get better! Just wait and see! I know it! And I no longer think that. Maybe that’s optimism, but I’ve learned that this is different than hope. I think a lot of time hope is more like hanging on.”
A year ago, I got to take the stage at @creativemornings_sd , and I had the time of my life. Such a friendly crowd, and some of the most fun I’ve had on a stage!
What I loved about this talk is that I felt like I was passing the mic between different versions of myself. The storyteller. The film school misfit. The wannabe humanitarian. The new dad. I got to dive into climate science and share quotes from Brene Brown and Oscar Romero. The theme was depth… so I guess it fit! It also helped me see how all these fragments come together… which is an important thing to discover as a dad to littles.
I hope you’ve had a chance to watch this talk, but if not, now is a great time. It’s up!
