Go To on Leadership with Indra Nooyi Jul 19, 2024

Show notes

Today, I'm sharing my notes from listening to Indra Nooyi, who had a transformative tenure as CEO of PepsiCo, and is now a woman who speaks freely and blunty about what the country needs most. Live from the stage at Aspen Ideas Festival, Nooyi set the audience on fire with her blunt assessments and candid insights on how business can serve society and not the other way around.

Going Deep on How Things Get Better with Nicholas Kristof Jul 16, 2024

Show notes

Nicholas Kristof is one of America's most experienced, prolific, awarded and grounded journalists. I read him often when I want a point of view that comes with 35 years in the field and his signature big picture optimism. This is a conversation to remind us all how exactly change happens. Special thanks to the Aspen Ideas Festival for putting me on stage with Nick and for generally being such a great partner this year and last as we try to stay up to date on the best thinking.*Please note that this conversation references substance abuse, sexual abuse, and suicide.

Thanks For Being Here Kristina's Eulogy for her mom Ann Emanuels Jul 14, 2024

Show notes

Kristina Phipps wrote this exquisite, poetic eulogy to honor her mom Ann Emanuels. Ann's love for beauty and her affinity for the natural world shone through in her garden, where she loved to spend time. She saw a world to be seized and not squandered and would pack more into a day than seemed humanly possible. Perhaps more than anything though, Ann viewed the world as a place that should be savored - like a plump peach warm off the tree - and she made sure to impart that valuable lesson to her three daughters.

Thanks For Being Here Tracy's Dad Joe Jul 07, 2024

Show notes

Today’s submission is introduced in the episode as a eulogy but it’s actually an essay that writer, speaker and advocate Tracy Hargen wrote about her beloved dad Joe, shortly after he died in 2012. Tracy describes her dad as her “cheerleader, biggest fan, bear hugger, tear wiper and supporter of crazy ideas”. He had a big personality that filled every room he walked into and had a memorable, radio-worthy voice that Tracy got to capture and have forever when they did a StoryCorps interview together for NPR. As Tracy says, “May every child have the gift of loving parents who cherish them beyond words and believe in them beyond reason.” (Previously aired)

Thanks For Being Here Leslie's Letter to Her Husband Ben Jun 30, 2024

Show notes

In honor of 20 years together, Leslie Browning wrote this sweet tribute to her husband Ben. In her early years, Leslie got her idea of “romantic love” from what she saw in chick movies but after sharing two decades together and the juggling required with kids, jobs, financial pressures, competing demands, middle age, menopause and loss, she learned that although solid, steady, “real love” might not make that great of a movie - it sure makes for one hell of a life.(Previously aired)

Go To on Seeing More Broadly Jun 28, 2024

Show notes

I learn a lot from listeners. This GOTO is a lesson in humility for me. And maybe for you too. It's about a mistake I suspect a lot of us have made...
