Welcome to Global Culture Talk, brought to you by Brian Greco. Each episode we'll be digging deeper into how globalization has changed the way we see ourselves, use language, and interact with other people. The mission is to discover the state of culture today and figure out how to put all the pieces together to find better ways of being. What places feel like home, express different parts of you, and challenge you to grow? What makes the world the way it is, and how can you be a part of changing the world? Join me as we step beyond tourism and get closer to the truth with Global Culture Talk!
