SEARING
STORIES

Candid stories served over a nice dinner.

Hosted by Edward Gao and William Chai.

We invite people with interesting stories to sit down with us for a home cooked dinner and an unhurried recorded conversation. We photograph the evening and shape the discussion into a Searing Stories feature. Dinner is on us.

Guests join Searing Stories through direct invitation or application.

We look for specific stories about craft, perspective, or personal growth. Every participant signs our media consent and release agreement before the session.
