We live in a world filled with stories: those we tell, those we hear, and those waiting to be discovered. How do we truly see the people around us and create connections that matter? Richard Radstone, founder of the podcast and outreach Sidewalk Ghosts, shares how a self-publishing challenge gained global recognition. Through storytelling, media, and human engagement, he's learned how meaningful dialogue can transcend differences, spark empathy, and remind us of the value of every individual. As an author, filmmaker, and photographer, Richard will share personal experiences from his creative journey and insights from the thousands of lives he's encountered. Attendees will leave motivated to approach the world and see themselves with greater honesty, clarity, and intention: directing their lives and crafting their narratives with purpose and authenticity.
