Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

His Grief Made Him a Better Father
Q: Was there anything anyone said that actually helped you during the process?
Schwartz notes that most well-meaning remarks didn't alleviate his pain; instead, the book reflects a solitary, personal journey through panic, grief, and the desire to preserve memories for his daughter.
His Grief Made Him a Better Father
Q: What made you decide that it was time to write the book now instead of waiting years?
Schwartz explains that he wanted to capture grief as it happened, not as retrospect, so his daughter could read the experiences in real time and understand the immediacy of his emotions.
The View From The Diaspora: An Iranian-American Perspective On The War
Q: What are you seeing in Iran right now regarding the war and public sentiment?
Missaghi explains that while many Iranians are pro-Western and hopeful for change, the leadership uses a strategy of prolonging conflict and undermining infrastructure to wear the population down, creating a war of attrition.
Redefine Your Success and Find Your True Masterpiece
Q: What does it mean to live your opus, and how can someone start to apply it in daily life?
Janine explains that opus is about living intentionally, viewing life as a growing masterpiece, and starting with small, manageable shifts—like prioritizing how you want to feel and who you want to be—rather than chasing external measures of success.
Love At the Intersection of Race and Identity
Q: What was your reaction when you first looked through the earliest papers and saw terms like negroid and other anthropological descriptors?
I was shocked and unsettled by the language, yet it reflected how scholars wrote at the time; it also highlighted the complex, often uncomfortable realities of how race was studied and understood.
