Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.

Jessi Alexander, Anthony “Chusy” Haney-Jardine, Mike Lundgren, Butch Spyridon, Erika Mallin

The city of Nashville sought to solve a civic problem by reinventing its brand and showcasing its greatest asset –its songwriters—telling their story. A discussion with the producers and creators of an award-winning documentary was capped with a moving performance of a song inspired by a father grieving his son killed in Afghanistan by one of the film’s Grammy-nominated stars, Jessi Alexander.
