LOUIE POORE
I’m drawn to telling people stories — focusing on and exploring what moves us, what connects us, how we make our way in the world. I have a passion for capturing meaningful, deeply personal experiences. I work with brands and organizations who are hell-bent on making lives, and the world, better.
I’m also producer and co-host of U22, a podcast for readers of James Joyce’s Ulysses, in support of the 100th Anniversary edition of the book, published by Cambridge University Press.
In a past life, I enjoyed a career in the global specialty coffee industry, developing world-class retail, wholesale, and marketing efforts as a leading voice at several top U.S. companies.
