There are Good Stories to be Shared.
Let’s Go Find Them Together…
The headlines might have you thinking the world is falling apart. I understand. But I’ve been around a long time, and I can tell you that most people are good, most people care, and remarkable things are happening all around us every single day. They just rarely make the news.
I’m Kurt. I’m a curious person by nature and an optimist by choice.
This blog and my social channels are built around one simple idea. Find the good people, the good places, the good food, and the good work happening in our neighborhoods and clear across the globe, and share it with you. Sometimes that means sitting down with someone doing quiet, remarkable work. Sometimes it means heading out, discovering something for myself, and bringing you along for the ride.
Life is too short and too full to explore alone. Follow along, send me your ideas, and tell me about the people and places I have not experienced yet. Some of the best stories I have ever come across started with someone saying, “You really have to check this out.”
Let’s find more of them together.
