A lifelong lover of language and stories in all their forms, Tom Bell is co-founder of Rootstock, a thought leadership and brand growth consultancy, and of Chronicle, a brand narrative and content marketing firm. He is also the co-founder and founding program director of the AJC Decatur Book Festival and a 25-year veteran journalist in the arts. 

Discovering a love for contemporary and aerial dance later in life, he has since performed professionally and choreographed with companies including Crossover Movement Arts, Brooks & Company Dance, me.you.us.we.them, Beacon Dance, Rule of 3, and the Candybox Revue. He also produces occasional dance and performance art through Minecart, his experimental performing arts incubator.

Jessica sits down with Tom to talk about how he finds creative inspiration by practicing things like getting outside more, listening, being still, storytelling, and performing arts.

For many expressive folks, our productivity is divergent. It doesn’t fit a 9-5 routine or trendy coaching tips. And yet! Many of us find unique ways to produce–creatively–while also thriving in the commercial world.  How I Create Me hosts conversations with these remarkable humans.  We’re gonna chat about how we craft our personal and professional selves. How we build identities and skills.

We think they deserve attention. We carry them through life, but sometimes, if we’re lucky, they also carry us.

It can be discouraging to consume business-oriented content. It’s usually laden with pithy advice that doesn’t apply. And there’s a frustrating spectrum of opinions. We’re told to stay true to our idiosyncrasies, profits, and performance reviews be damned. We’re told to rein it in if consumers or corporations aren’t buying our personal brand.

So, as we mitigate these tensions, instead of “one-size fits all” tips and tricks, we’ll be sharing: 

👉 Distinct stories from our creative journeys

👉 Impediments we’ve overcome--or are still wrestling with today

👉 Insights we’ve gathered along the way

There will be some quirky questions. And you’ll get to know us better as the remarkable humans we are…

I hope you’ll join us.  Together, we can find resonance in each others’ stories. We can find the courage to keep going--or the wisdom to try something different.

So come get amongst it.  Join the HICM Family at HowICreate.Me.
