We Need Heroes Again

Our collective media diet would have us believe that tragedy, scandal and celebrity are the whole story, making us physically and mentally sick from the content we consume on a daily basis. But there's another narrative--one that says goodness and hope still exist, and are even alive and well in the world. In this talk, magazine founder and former PR-professional Julie Kilcur asks, "When did we stop telling stories of heroes--of the brave women and men who consistently put the interests and lives of others above their own?" and explores how the stories we encounter inform the lives that we lead.
