What's Giving Us Hope?

from Funny Old World

…SOLUTIONS-LED STORYTELLING IN TRAVEL is giving us hope. In this new episode of a new format, Juliet Kinsman — sustainability expert and solutions-led storyteller — shares lightbulb moments from a 30-year career in journalism and why she believes storytellers are the keystone species for a better world… Radically honest, as ever, in her talk given for the British Guild of Travel Writers’ Better World Symposium in London, she makes the case for solutions-led storytelling over greenwashed marketing spin, for authentic human authority over AI-generated content, and for a kind of travel writing that doesn't just document the world — it advances the narrative and cultivates empathy. Just watch out for those Passport Bros… What are those? Listen in and find out… A must-listen if you’re anyone sharing stories from your travels.
