One of my favorite things in the world is a person with vision. Someone who knows why they do what they do. A man or a woman who has clearly thought through their decisions when choosing the path they’re on. A person with purpose.
An individual like Ben Arment. Amongst other things, Ben is the head dude at STORY, a conference dedicated to serving the creative class.
While most of the folks who go to STORY are from a faith background, the speaker lineup usually isn’t. And that’s why I love it. Diversity loves an audience.
Another item on my “Favorites” list is Des Moines. It’s where I live, work, and raise my family. The City on Two Rivers holds a special in my heart. Which is why I’m thrilled to have Ben come visit and hold a special meetup for Des Moines-based creatives at the end of June.
