I’m Christopher Swan and I’ll show you how to celebrate the things that make you different. That matters because it’s how you’ll do what you love and live a meaningful life.

 

And when everyone is being who they really are, together we’ll create a world where everyone belongs.

YOU’RE DIFFERENT AND THAT’S A GOOD THING

I’m sharing stories, resources, and a thriving community to inspire and help you turn your dreams into a reality. But this isn’t for everyone. I created it for all of the rebels, weirdos, misfits, and outsides ⁠— anyone who doesn’t fit in. Because we’re tired of cookie cutter ideas for generic lives.

 

If you’re ready to get unstuck, understand your purpose, connect with people that get you, find the ideas and inspiration to live a fulfilled life, then you’re ready to join me in my adventure.

 

Your kind of different is exactly what the world needs. Let’s celebrate it together.
My Big Story with Christopher Swan

Christopher Swan (that’s me!) is on a big adventure! In My Big Story with Christopher Swan, I’m literally on a plane, train, or automobile, traveling the USA (aiming for the world!), interviewing uniquely inspiring people. I’m uncovering stories from voices that may not be heard, crossing boundaries of diversity, uniqueness, and beliefs — stories that inherently celebrate our differences. These thought-provoking conversations are with people that have taken chances and carved out uncommon paths. Through these interviews and stories, I’m uncovering ideas, dreams, and truths — and in turn, MY big story unfolds — to create a world where everyone belongs.

 

Guests have included social good advocates, artists, small business owners, corporate and nonprofits leaders, actors, musicians, chefs, drag queens, creatives, and anyone with a big inspiring story.

I completed the assignment today and I couldn’t be more excited and hopeful to be part of our future. #votebabyvote
Well, that’s done. I had my first colonoscopy. The special four day diet and prep were not grand, but the procedure was easy—I was asleep—and the staff was amazing. I’m of an age (now starting at 45 in the US) when this screening should be done and with the rise of colon cancer, it’s extremely important to get screened. May this be a nudge to schedule one today. Don’t find out when it’s too late. 

Now it’s time for me to rest AND eat—I’m literally starving since I haven’t eaten in two days.

ACCIDENTAL INFORMATION

Celebrate your differentness

I created Accidental Information (AI), to power my ideas and to reach more people. AI is a mashup. I’ve merged personal development with a media company. It’s heart lives with helping people be who they are, and with the media that can help us do it. Our stories and resources come in different packages to make it easy for you to find what you need. You’ll discover interviews of amazingly unique people, articles with actionable advice for life and business, and physical products to share your ideas and inspiration. But that’s just the beginning.
