Innovation comes in many forms, and compliance professionals need to not only be ready for it but also embrace it. Today, I visited with Jeff Gould, who is America’s storyteller, on his upcoming project for America’s semi-quincentennial birthday celebration in 2026, America’s Story 250.
Jeff Gould is lauded as America’s storyteller. He is honing the story of America at 250 in 2026 through his project, America at 250. Gould’s perspective on American history is one of profound reverence and recognition for the country’s narrative, viewing it as a remarkable tale among governmental histories.
His perspective is heavily influenced by the opportunities he sees for individuals to combat injustice and foster a fairer system, a theme ingrained in his work with America 250. He places substantial emphasis on acknowledging the flaws and mistakes of historical figures yet concurrently underscores the potential that the country and its people hold for growth and progress. Through this lens, Gould sees American history as a symbol of hope and freedom, and thus, he constantly challenges individuals to uphold and perpetuate these values for future generations.
