14. Yes, and...Hope (Philadelphia, PA with Andrew)

All too often, when someone throws out a new idea, someone responds "No." How would things change if our response was more like Andrew's? To say "Yes and..." or even "This could be even better if..." Andrew and I discuss hope in improv, Jewish American history, and being peacemakers in our local neighborhoods.

13. Seizing the Good, Every Day (Philadelphia, PA with Connor, Patrick and Ace)

Two more Villanova seniors, Patrick and Connor, reflect on Hope along with their buddy Ace, in their new season of post-college life. Connor and Patrick also offer unique perspective as members of ROTC, and their willingness to serve in the defense of the US as they start their careers in the Army and Navy. They give some advice to their younger selves, reflect on hope in the present, and encourage their elders to be optimistic about the future.

We’re back at Villanova University, just northwest of central Philly, with our friend Ace and a good friend, Noah. Noah and Ace come from very different parts of the country, are poised to begin careers in different fields, and at this transitional time of life, offer their insights on hope.

11. On the Road -- Philadelphia

We’re still in Philadelphia, with a brief glimpse into the hope of a few people I met along the way in Philly – a retired teacher and her husband at a Phillies game, tour guide Nick, bus driver Aaron, and my own recollection of a conversation with a man I met watching a Flyers playoff game in Chinatown.
