Go To on the Mindset That Leads to Loveliness Oct 27, 2023

Show notes

I had this crazy thing happen one morning trying to get to LAX that I keep reflecting on. Meant to be shared with anyone you think of as one of those people, the ones who go with the grain of life as it happens.

Going Deep with Ginni Rometty on Purpose Oct 24, 2023

Show notes

I loved being with Ginni Rometty. She is full of insight and clearly oriented toward world-positive work. I was also taken with her midwestern charm and candor. Emerging from a tricky childhood, she found herself running IBM in a time when very few women were commanding boardrooms (a statement that is maddeningly still applicable today). Now, she is entirely devoted to making good careers available to many more people, and her plan is working. This is a conversation for anyone who wants to build more purpose into life and perhaps one to forward along to the young professionals in your life as inspiration. Thanks to AmeriHealth Caritas and PBS for supporting this work. You can watch this conversation anytime at PBS.org/kelly.

Ginni Rometty’s book: Good Power: Leading Positive Change in our Lives, Work, and World

Go To on Choosing Our Mood When We Choose Our Media Oct 20, 2023

Going Deep with Matthew Desmond on Fairness Oct 17, 2023

Show notes

When my daughter was in high school, she read a Pulitzer prize winning book called Evicted and was blown away by how easy it is to become homeless in her country. Years later, I was at one of those thinking weekend festival things (Chautauqua) and listened to the Evicted author speak. Matthew Desmond gave the best talk I had ever heard in my life, and I have heard a lot. As soon as I had the chance, as his new book Poverty by America hit #1 on the New York Times bestseller list, I talked with him at my apartment in NYC about how America could be the place we all so want it to be. He is a rare mix of gentle and determined. Please listen, please share, for the good of all of us.

Thanks For Being Here from Joan to Her Husband Oct 15, 2023

Show notes

A great note from a woman who needed a lot of help from her husband after surgery. The long recuperation offered this long married couple a new way of relating that both found to be really quite lovely.

Please share with anyone you have ever tucked in.

Go To on Finding Common Ground Oct 13, 2023

Show notes

You and I both have short lists of people we just cannot bring ourselves to understand. But even in those most strained circumstances, we do have a set of things in common. Here’s my reminder to self of that always true fact. Meant to be shared, especially with people you’d love to reconnect with.

Going Deep with Gitanjali Rao on Gen Z Ambitions Oct 10, 2023

Show notes

I’ve known a few 17 year-olds in my day, I bet you have too. I hadn’t yet met someone so young and already so effective. Gitanjali Rao, Time’s “Kid of the Year”, has a patent already and several more innovative projects in the works. This is a conversation for anyone who is looking for hope about a future that can feel daunting.
