My name is Jean Marie Keevins and I am infinitely curious person. I genuinely like people and find a great deal of pleasure listening to them and hearing about what makes them tick. Going back as far as childhood, I have always spent a good deal of my time attending live interviews, reading short and long-form biographies and conducting private interviews myself. Recently, I found myself with a deep desire to make my intrinsic interest in people more active. After listening to Brian Grazer talk about his many years of “curiosity conversations”, I thought that’s me! I need to be doing this, but in my own way.
This blog is intended to create one of may platforms that I will use going forward to simply talk to people. Innovators, artists, cultural icons, leaders in their respective fields and more. People that I find interesting. I can’t wait.
Thanks for joining me!
