15 years later and he’s still doing his thing. Couldn’t be more proud … and the last couple of weeks have brought back so many beautiful memories of being in the Beliebersphere. Felt like being in the center of the world and full of love. Thank you Justin! Here’s to the next 15. #NeverSayNever

“If you’re a storyteller, you plug into empathy and to the human experience, and you find your way and you try to express those things in whatever medium. So I would keep your antennas open for where your storytelling is best used, and that’s where you should follow.” — Director Jon M. Chu
Chu, a Bay Area native, joined Mina Kim onstage for a KQED Live event where he reflected on his Bay Area roots, his rise through Hollywood and the power of timeless stories.
At the end of the night, he offered storytellers in the audience some advice and encouragement.
