Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Part 2 (EXCLUSIVE): Nicole Avant and David Ko, CEO of Calm
Q: What is your one piece of advice for someone grieving who is listening right now?
Don't give up, be patient with yourself, and hold on to the belief that things can get better; you will laugh and smile again, and your soul is worth fighting for even when it feels impossible.
Part 2 (EXCLUSIVE): Nicole Avant and David Ko, CEO of Calm
Q: What role has music played in your healing journey and how does it connect mind, body, and soul?
Music acts as a catalyst that shifts energy, deepens empathy, and helps move grief through the body and memory. It created moments of connection and calm during moments of crisis, helping to reframe pain into a shared human experience and supporting emotional and spiritual healing.
Part 2 (EXCLUSIVE): Nicole Avant and David Ko, CEO of Calm
Q: So why was your mother so passionate about the work that she did? And what does it mean for you to carry her vision forward?
Her motivation stemmed from observing the fragmentation of care in working-class communities and the pain of long drives between clinics; she wanted to unify physical, mental, and spiritual healing under one roof to reduce retraumatization and improve outcomes. Carrying her vision means expanding access, ensuring cleanliness and dignity in care spaces, and raising funds to sustain a comprehensive center that serves the whole person.
Exclusive Part 2: Recharge with John Driscoll and David Ko, CEO of Calm
Q: Do you think those short term analysts, you said they didn't, some of them don't get it. What's it going to take for them to get it?
A big believer in raising the minimum wage; we should require a living wage.
Recharge with Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt and David Ko, CEO of Calm
Q: How important is sleep to your overall mental health?
She acknowledges the unpredictability of sleep with young children, but emphasizes that sleep is still a priority for her overall well-being.
