About Hello Sonoma

 

Everyone has a story.

Your neighbors, your colleagues, your parents, your friends. They all have a story worth telling. I believe it’s worth hearing them, being inspired by them, and learning from them.

Though this journey starts locally with those around you, with empathy and curiosity, the sky’s the limit.

 
 
  • We are not as dissimilar as we might think. We can see ourselves in everyone.

  • Ask questions of the people around you. What drives them? How do they live? What makes them tick?

  • “Bloom where you are planted.” Look around you for interesting people and fascinating stories. Build your community starting with your neighbors.
