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.
