Got Story?

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”

Zora Neale Hurston

Telling stories is the most fundamental defining aspect of being human. It is at the root of everything we do, and it’s the most direct window into the human soul. Politicians are telling them. Lawyers are telling them. Doctors are telling them. Everyone who controls your fate is telling them. In the din of it all, where is YOUR STORY? It’s time to tell it. And we’re here to help you.

I’ve partnered with Eric Lasby, co-producer and creative editor behind Anthony Bourdain’s groundbreaking series No Reservations and Parts Unknown. Together, we’re uncovering the stories of everyday people — from heroes who have faced life’s harshest trials, to anti-heroes who go their own way, always with reasons behind it. People to whom unbelievable things have happened — large or small. People with an experience that makes us see the world differently. People with a tale to draw tears, laughter, rage, knowing smiles, or a resounding sense of “Huh?! What about that?…” The only requirement is that you have a need to tell it…

Your voice matters. Let it be heard.
