About Ian Chew
As a sociology graduate, I'm constantly fascinated by people: how we talk with each other and with ourselves. Over the last ten years, I've had conversations with over 10,000 people, from homeless people to CEOs.
As a copywriter, I've worked with top communicators like Eben Pagan, Michael Simmons, and Amir Ahmad Nasr to help them reach tens of millions of people.
For my work, I've been featured by top media outlets including Fortune, CBC, Inc. Magazine, and Canadian Geographic. I also did a TEDx speech on my experience talking with strangers (link below).
I started Deeper Conversations to share everything I've learned and am learning about communication and relationships. (Here's the full back story on why I created the site.)
