Listen to some of my proudest moments watching my TEDx speakers on stage

Jessica Vernon
Founder & Chief Storyteller
After a decade of traveling the world and collecting stories from strangers, I built a business around what makes me feel most alive: protecting human-made art and experiences, and creating brave spaces where people can show up fully and share their truth.
I work with leaders who are meeting the urgency of this moment; people who are unafraid to have an opinion, challenge the status quo, and build something that inspires action.
