A New Perspective: Stories Take Flight

Emmy-winning filmmaker Jim Stone left a lucrative aerospace career because the success felt empty—and the culture made him someone he didn’t want to be. In this Voice of Growth conversation, Manny and Jim dig into why story still moves markets, how You + AI (not either/or) is the modern creative edge, and why every company must act like a media company or get left behind. Jim shares the Bombardier delivery saga, the audience reactions that changed his life after Storm Soldiers, and the daily habits—grace, persistence, and surrounding yourself with winners—that keep him producing meaningful work. Plus: Curiosity Lab (Qualcomm/T-Mobile/Audi/Bosch), the comeback of prints, and what he’d tell his 18-year-old self. This one’s about character, craft, and compounding.
