A Lot of Optimism (Or The One Where I Met Andy Grammer)

Where does optimism come from? I think it comes from an innate sense that the future is bright. Andy Grammer, an incurable optimist, thinks it starts with pain. I love his point of view. This is not a Bit of Optimism. This is… A Lot of Optimism.

Second Chances with Bruce Deel

It’s often easier to learn lessons when we look at extreme cases. I turned to the military to understand trust. To learn about compassion, I turned to Bruce Deel.

Extreme Listening with Deeyah Khan

Extreme listening are two words that don’t usually go together. But there is no other way to describe what Deeyah Khan does.
