We’re all dying, but some of us have been brought face to face with that reality. Reflecting on this certainty is part of a life well lived. However long we’ve got, it’s up to each of us to redeem the time. In this new podcast, hosts Ben Sasse and Chris Stirewalt talk with their guests about lives lived with gratitude, grit, and joy.

The Al Michael’s interview was great. I can’t wait to listen to the rest. You both are a good team.
Listen. Share with everyone you know. You will all become more enlightened.
I find Ben, Chris, and their guests really grounding. A welcome antidote to all the rage around us. Thank you, Gents!
These two complement each other wonderfully. I look forward to the new guest each week, and the pre- & post- (“what have we learned this week, professor?) segments. Top of my listening list!
