Not Braden Storms

I believe that conversation is one of the primary tools for seeking Humility, Truth, and Virtue. Not Braden Storms is a vehicle for these kinds of conversations. My goal is to learn from a wide variety of people, including friends, creatives, engineers, entrepreneurs, etc. I hope to grow in the previously mentioned areas while pursuing discussions with the wise, curious, and creative people of this world.
