Interviewee:
Jay Foss
In your own words, tell us about your business, organization, or initiative.
I have a big heart and am dedicated to working with creatives, couples and coordinators. I like working together with diverse groups to help transform good ideas into events that are amazingly unforgettable.
Tell us a bit about you and why you do what you do. Share your passions for your business, organization, or initiative.
When I was younger, I used music as a way to cope with life. I still use it as a stress-reliever, and now enjoy helping others share meaningful audible art as a force for good in our world.
What is the last thing you read, watched, or listened to that had an impact on you?
I’m in a counseling program at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. The last class that had a profound impact on me was “Multicultural Diversity in Counseling”. The book that affected me the most is “Cultural Humility” 2nd edition by Hook, Davis, Owen & DeBlaere.
What’s the one thing people would be surprised to learn about you or your business?
Ha…there’s plenty. I like to share my blessings and privileges, especially to people whom culture says I shouldn’t associate with. Underground Hip-Hop is my favorite because it effectively samples soul music.
