Welcome to Tellwell’s weekly Plog (photo-blog)!
This week we were out in the community, traveling for some filming, and even had a few visitors to the office. Let’s see what went down this week at Tellwell!
This week’s writer
Hi, I’m Jenny, Tellwell’s Story Maker Success Manager! I have the privilege of fostering relationships with our amazing Story Makers and serving as a community ambassador for Tellwell. Lately, I’ve been especially excited to help plan our upcoming WellTold Non-Profit Storytelling Conference happening on April 24th. I’d love to see you there—grab your ticket at www.welltoldconference.com!
🌟 Speed Collisions, Storytelling & Studio Crawls — Oh My!
It was a week packed with connection, inspiration, and creativity out in the community! Things kicked off with Jenny stepping into mentor mode at the FMWF Chamber’s International Collisions event, where 100 mentors from all industries gathered for a high-energy round of speed networking. Each “collision” was eight minutes of fast-paced insight-sharing with curious minds—it was electric! Luckily for Jenny, her first “collision” was our amazing Story Maker, Jen from Haven Midwest.
Midweek, our very own Chief of Staff Annie Wood helped StartUpBREW get the morning percolating by kicking off the TEDx Takeover event. The lineup featured powerhouse speakers Joe Bergum and Ashley Morken—one of our incredible Story Makers! (BTW, TEDx Fargo tickets are now live—grab yours here!)
To wrap it all up, Duncan and Jenny threw on their AAF-ND board hats and joined the always-awesome Studio Crawl, where students packed the event space to soak up creative wisdom. Duncan’s been doing a rockstar job as Chair of the Education Committee, and it was amazing to see the student engagement he’s been working hard to build.
🛹 Skating Into Our Hearts
We were floored when our friends at the North Dakota Skateboarding Association rolled in to gift us a custom skateboard! Their Giving Hearts Day success was epic, and we’re proud to have played a role in sharing their mission through impact videos. Check them out and give ’em a follow!
🎥 Lights, Camera, Weather?
The film crew braved all the elements on their road trip to Devils Lake for Day 1 of filming at Four Winds High School. Rain, sleet, sunshine—you name it, they drove through it. They wrapped with a quick visit to Lucas’ family farm and they left with full hearts (and full memory cards). More film days ahead!
🍕 Pizza, Presents, and Perfect Hair
This week’s team lunch turned into a full-on cuteness collision! We got a visit from sweet baby Cyrus Klath, who came to show off his show-stopping blonde hair. We gifted him a tiny Tellwell onesie and showered Jen and Travis with hugs and baby gifts. A+ pizza party content.
