Krista Tippett is a Peabody Award-winning broadcaster, a National Humanities Medalist, and a New York Times bestselling author. Like many of you, I’m sure, I’ve drawn so much inspiration from Krista’s work at On Being over the years. She has thoughtfully interviewed so many luminaries during her career in public radio and podcasting, and many of those conversations have stuck with me, deeply. It was an honor to get to interview her today.

We talk about where Krista finds herself in this current chapter of her life: Engaged, she says, in a way that feels right for now. Listening in different ways, and enjoying life more.

We reflect on how much has changed since she began her public radio path in the late 90s. And she answers questions about where we might put our attention now, and how that shapes our presence in the world, and who we want to be. She talks about what’s life-giving, calming, and connecting to orient around. And who she believes are amazing social creatives—like, for example, first-grade teachers.
