Hi, I’m Jeremy Meyers. I’m fascinated by what makes us love what we love, what drives us to create, the personalities and process behind how creative works come together, and how those works influence those that experience them. In 2011, I started Deeper Context as a way to explore this professionally. My job is to have conversations that bring out people’s passions and interests in a personal, intimate and emotionally resonant way. My clients currently include solo entrepreneurs, musicians and authors, and I’m always looking for more stories to tell.
