Nghe Sau Nghe Sau Danh sách Thích Đã thíchIn this inspiring episode, we speak with Bill Burke, founder of the Optimism Institute and host of the Bluesky podcast, about the powerful link between optimism and gratitude. Bill shares his perspectives on how life’s toughest challenges ultimately shape us into better, more empathetic people, and how being grateful for these experiences opens us up to new relationships and greater possibilities in the future. We dive into the importance of optimism—not as a naive perspective, but as a grounded, realistic outlook that fuels resilience, deepens connections, and helps us embrace the good in life. Bill discusses his transition from being a high-powered media executive at Turner Broadcasting where he served as the first General Manager of Turner Classic Movies to relocating his family to Portland, Maine. Ironically, it was getting off the corporate merry go round that created the opportunity for Bill to serve as Ted Turner’s ghost writer on his highly anticipated biography, Call Me Ted . Bill reflects on the importance of gratitude and how cultivating a mindset of optimism can transform not only your life but also the world around you.

Nghe Sau Nghe Sau Danh sách Thích Đã thíchWhen faced with a breast cancer diagnosis, treatment recommendations, and reconstruction options, Becky Johnson was unequivocal: she wanted the cancer out, and she wanted to minimize the need for additional surgeries. She opted for an aesthetic flat closure after her double mastectomy. She never expected that this decision would take her from the world of real estate to creating a whole new line of fashion for the flat community. When Becky discovered that no clothes truly honored a woman’s decision to go flat, she decided to take on the challenge with her friend and designer, Tracy Friden. Together, they created Flatware Clothing, a company that creates fabulous and feminine clothes for women who choose to go flat. We explore body image, femininity, the need for greater awareness, and the role fashion plays in making us feel good in the skin we’re in.

An Ivy Leaguer with her sights on law school, she did a summer internship at a prestigious firm that changed her plans. She took a role as a fixed income analyst on Wall Street. She was young and curious; she was great at her job. By all measures, Sabrina was a success, but she wanted more from life. As she considered her options, the music stopped. In 2008, Sabrina had a front row seat to the downward spiral that was the financial crisis. If she ever needed a sign to define a new career path, this was it. She traded her pin stripes for sneakers and became an entrepreneur. She hasn’t looked back. Fifteen years later, Sabrina has successfully launched several consumer brands. Her journey has been anything but smooth or “balanced”. She’s had moments of doubt, regret, and feelings of failure, but she is enjoying the ride! Sabrina is also the proud mother of three young sons. Motherhood has provided some unvarnished challenges and fresh opportunities for triumph at home and in her business ventures. This perspective has fueled her passion for creating healthy work environments where people feel appreciated and valued.

1 Learning to Walk in the Shoes of Another: a Prayer for Peace with Documentary Filmmaker and Podcaster Jamil Simon 41:08
41:08 Nghe Sau Nghe Sau Danh sách Thích Đã thích41:08
Nghe Sau Nghe Sau Danh sách Thích Đã thíchJamil Simon is a documentary filmmaker, development worker, peace activist and lifelong adventurer. Over the course of multiple capacity building projects across sub saharan Africa, the Middle East, and beyond, Jamil gained insights into the deep challenges associated with building and maintaining lasting peace in several conflict-ravaged areas. He witnessed firsthand that signing peace agreements and shaking hands in front of the cameras does little to repair divisions and discord. Peace-building is a practice that requires learning what each side needs and wants in order to find common ground. That sounds straightforward and obvious, but in an age of great division, 24/7 news, and the proliferation of misinformation on social media, finding enough daylight to cultivate meaningful peace seems almost unimaginable. Jamil is undeterred; he believes peace is possible. We speak with Jamil about the practice of building lasting peace and the powerful role of journalists in shaping public consciousness. On his podcast, Making Peace Visible , Jamil speaks with journalists and peacebuilders who help us understand the human side of war and peacemaking efforts around the world. Please note that in this episode, we mistakenly refer to Abraham Trail . It is the Abraham Path , a monumental undertaking and true testament to what is possible in the name of peace. Links to Jamil’s interview with Josh Weiss and Anisa Mehdi about the Abraham Path is linked below, as is his interview with Dutch investigative journalist, Bette Dam, to which we also refer in this episode.

1 How a Tough Girl Meditates: Meredith Tapper on the Lessons She Never Expected to Learn from Boxing 57:45
57:45 Nghe Sau Nghe Sau Danh sách Thích Đã thích57:45
Nghe Sau Nghe Sau Danh sách Thích Đã thíchFor Meredith Tapper, boxing is as much about patience and persistence as it is about landing the perfect punch. Meredith is a 38-year-old lawyer from Winnipeg, Manitoba who works on Wall Street. She’s a big thinker driven by intellectual challenge who gets things done. She is also a risk taker who won't hesitate to take a solo trip to Southeast Asia or some other far-flung destination. In 2019, she embarked on a new adventure right at home in New York City when she started taking boxing classes. She had a hard time fitting in at first. She tried several gyms. Coaches and other fighters asked her why she kept coming back - she didn’t seem like the type. Undeterred, she kept at it. There was something about boxing. She wanted to master it. On November 2, 2023, Meredith will enter the ring officially at the Haymakers for Hope 11th Annual Hope NYC charity boxing event at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City. Haymakers for Hope gives everyday people the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to compete in their first sanctioned boxing event. Over the years, Haymakers has raised over $25 million dollars for cancer related charities. Meredith is raising funds and awareness for cancer patients who cannot afford treatment or the broader economic consequences that come with fighting a terminal illness. We speak with Meredith about how she discovered her passion for boxing and what it continues to teach her about life outside the ring. She dispels many of the myths that surround boxing, notably that it’s all about violence. To the contrary, Meredith says she is more centered, focused and patient with herself (and others) thanks to boxing. For those who are truly committed to the sport and their community, there is love, kindness, and respect for others.
