Hi.
I am Chris Glass.

My mom always said, "Leave it better than you found it."
It's a simple philosophy that has shaped how I move through the world, the relationships I cultivate, and the things I choose to create.
It has translated into more than three decades of bringing people together, exchanging ideas, and finding ways to elevate the ordinary.
This is now home for it all. The ideas, the stories, the people, the projects, and the occasional detour.
Perhaps you’ve been part of my journey for years. Or you’re just joining. However our paths have crossed, welcome to this chapter.
There’s more to come.
Let’s stay connected.
From time to time, I'll share what I'm thinking, what I'm working on, and the people, places, and ideas inspiring me along the way.
Oh, by the way…
GUESTING
I know a thing or ten about epic gatherings and elevated dinner parties.My debut book project, Guesting, explores the art of being a great guest, the unwritten rules of gathering, and what it means to move thoughtfully through the world.
We have spent generations teaching people how to host. Nobody has taught them how to be hosted.
Stay tuned for more on Guesting: The Art of Being the Guest Who Gets Invited Back.
I BEEN THINKIN’
I think. A lot. I Been Thinkin' is my Substack, a home for observations, reflections, stories, and questions about the world around us.Some things I've been thinking about for years. Others occurred to me this morning.
Wanna chat?
I'm always interested in opportunities to bring people, ideas, and resources together in meaningful ways.Whether it's strategic counsel, cultural partnerships, community building, creative collaborations, speaking, or gathering people around a shared purpose, I'm open to exploring what we might create together.And if you simply have an idea, an invitation, or something you think I ought to know about, I'd love to hear it.
