S1 Ep 75Bianca Valenti and Melinda French Gates on Making Waves

Today I’m talking with big wave surfer Bianca Valenti and big time philanthropist Melinda French Gates. Whether it’s facing down a 50-foot wave or world-wide criticism over choices made, they’ll explain why it’s been so worth it to push beyond any fear or discomfort. They’ll also tell you that if you’re tracking culture and equity here in the United States or abroad, there is real progress to celebrate, progress that might help us stay the course and finish the work of making a world that is fair for girls and women.

S1 Ep 1Love, Hope and Grief for Andy's Dad

This is the first episode of our new series Thanks For Being Here. It will be a very short pod that comes out every Sunday morning as Sundays are, for a lot of people, a time of reflection, a time to let go of the day to day and to touch base with what matters, what will matter and what will have mattered. The answer to that question for me is often found in ceremonies. I could literally watch strangers get married once a week, and I'm even more effected by funerals, sitting in a service, taking in the story of one life, just another ordinary person who they loved, who loved them. I feel a clarity and direction that I often can't find in the daily push and pull and eulogies in particular are about the most succinct source of direction I can think of. So, I asked readers and listeners who have lost someone to share their eulogies and every week I'll read one here so that we don't forget, there is a point to the pain, that we have much to offer, that we affect each other and that ordinary lives are really kind of exquisite when you look at them closely. This first episode features a eulogy beautifully written by my editor at Random House, Andy Ward, to honor his father.

S1 Ep 74Steve Kerr and W. Kamau Bell on Speaking Up

People say “Stay in your lane” but I don’t buy it. I like people who care about a lot of things, not just winning another NBA championship (I see you Steve Kerr, eyeing #9) or making another world class docu-series (I see you W Kamau Bell, with your devastating Cosby series). I like people who dare to say unpopular things into microphones because they have a platform and they feel compelled to use it. This is an episode with two of my favorite people — Warriors coach Steve Kerr and comedian, producer and director W. Kamau Bell — talking about what they do beyond what they do, if you get my drift.

S1 Ep 71The 2022 Regroup: That Damn Internet

E

A big word for me as I get my head around 2022 is notice. What am I letting happen to myself? What might I be able to adjust or reject? Noticing seems like the obvious first step in self-management. Today’s conversation with Pamela Paul is about the things we have lost to the Internet and what, if anything, we want to do about it. What ideas, objects, habits and preferences has the Internet washed away? Can we claw some back? Pamela is the long time editor of the New York Times Book Review but she’s also written more than a handful of books herself. If you love this conversation, I’d suggest you loop back to the self-care conversation I had with Manoush Zomorodi or the conversation about becoming “indistractable” with Nir Eyal.

S1 Ep 24Mental Health Check on the "Most Important" Thing (Replay of previous episode)

E

Ages ago, M Scott Peck (of The Road Less Traveled) studied success (personal and professional) and was surprised to discover that all the people in his study had one thing in common: they all report the exact same “most important” thing. As I sink into the reality of an empty nest, I felt the need to remind myself that it is not my children’s job (nor is it Edward’s) to make me happy.
