Jim Brulé has been a storyteller all his life. Along the way, he's also been a clinical psychologist, an author and research leader in artificial intelligence, a CIO of a large healthcare organization, and an expert in federal healthcare regulations.

Nevertheless, storytelling has been the core thread through all of these distractions. Over a decade ago he was ordained as a Maggid: a spiritual storyteller in the Jewish tradition. Since then, he has broadened his scope to multifaith spiritual storytelling, runs an online school in transformational storytelling, and consults with communities across the country on how to use storytelling to embrace diversity and overcome isolation.
