Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 29: Legacy in motion, with Misty Copeland
Q: How has your definition of leadership evolved over time?
Leadership now means balancing instinct with empathy, being a liaison between dancers and boards, and using one's platform to amplify others while nurturing a sustainable, inclusive art form.
Ep. 29: Legacy in motion, with Misty Copeland
Q: How can people get involved with your foundation and programs?
They can visit mistycopelandfoundation.org, follow Misty on social media, and learn about Be Bold and Be Bolder programs which bring free ballet education to communities in Harlem and the Bronx.
Ep. 29: Legacy in motion, with Misty Copeland
Q: Misty, you are an icon in the ballet world and honestly one of one. What do you want your legacy to be now that you're moving to this next chapter?
I want my legacy to be opening the doors for all people to feel like ballet is for everyone, not just a European art form, and to keep expanding access and leadership opportunities through foundations and programs that reach diverse communities.
Ep. 43: Dancing with whales, with Karim Iliya
Q: What role does mentorship play in your work, and how should the next generation contribute to conservation storytelling?
Mentorship should unlock creativity and local storytelling traditions, giving tools and support while letting communities tell stories in their own language and style, rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all method.
Ep. 43: Dancing with whales, with Karim Iliya
Q: How do you approach interactions with large marine life to keep both people and animals safe?
You move slowly, assess the limits, earn the mothers' trust, and focus on being present and respectful; sometimes the best shot is not taking one at all to preserve the animal's wellbeing.
