There is no better way to touch a soul than through story. Sound is story, art is story, culture is story. I’ve spent my life honoring stories worth telling with all ages, all cultures, and in all media. Because I believe the stories we share, read, write, engage with shape us/humans as a whole. So I ask you, what do you want your future to be? Be that story, share that story, engage with that story now. I am humbled and honored to be invited into such an iconic publication that has been a part of my lexicon since a child. My goal is to share stories that empower your soul to dance to a higher vibration.

Members will share their ideas and expertise in a variety of settings inside the community, will contribute articles on the iconic publication’s online edition at rollingstone.com, and will participate in Expert Panels, which showcase and share member expertise in a broad range of subjects. Each member will also have an executive profile shared on the website.

Each member of this vetted network of decision-makers from some of the most successful companies in North America and Europe will be included in the members-only directory, receive leadership and business coaching, and have access to other members through a private forum to share thoughts, questions, ideas, and inspiration.
