The Cultural North

In every organization there is a team of people guided by a vision, whether bright or dim, that led them to make it what it is. And it's the organizations that root every decision in an inspiring mission that rise above the rest. They are the companies and nonprofits that see the big picture, who strive to make a difference, and take hopeful steps in the vision they have for the world.The About Page tells these stories—where an organization with a clear vision and deeply-rooted values approach a specific issue and go to work improving every part of it they can.In each episode you will hear from a group of web developers consisting of Aaron Johnson, Brynn Wilson, and Beau Walsh. We talk with a leader of a business or non-profit to explore how what we are about shapes what we do. The About Page brings to life an idea that you will hear a lot from us, that “about designs action”. This podcast is a reflection of that vision, with narrative storytelling immersed with the inspiration we experienced as we talked about each topic.

    How does our story impact how we live now? With Kyle Yepsen of CreatiVets

    Storytelling is a wellspring for growth. Whether through art or music, sharing a story brings healing and camaraderie so that we can all flourish. In this episode we talk with Kyle Yepsen, the Deputy Director of CreatiVets. Founded in 2013 by Richard Casper, they work with combat veterans to heal from the unseen wounds of war. CreatiVets has partnerships with some of the top art institutes in the country, award winning singer-songwriters, and a major recording label. These partnerships all serve the purpose to help veterans share their stories and heal through art and storytelling. In this episode we explore the question, “how does our story from the past impact how we live now?”   Show notes Throughout this episode, we discuss post traumatic stress and vulnerability. This is based on research, experience, and understanding, rather than academic expertise.
