The Story of David & the strength of lifting others up

This episode features Massachusetts State Representative David Henry Argosky LeBoeuf, first elected at just 29. It is the story of a young leader committed to fighting for affordable housing and immigrant rights, and of a public servant who has chosen to speak openly about his past struggles with addiction. Through that honesty, he has become a source of support and inspiration for others—turning personal adversity into a force for good in his community.

The story of Juan Diego & bringing "good" into politics

At the age of 21, Juan Diego Vásquez was elected in Congress as the youngest ever member in the history of Panama and with the most votes. He ran as an independent and now leads the independent caucus "Vamos." He tells us why he ran for office, the challenges, and what his dreams are. We talk about fighting corruption and what is good politics.

The story of Christos & of a doctor without borders

Dr. Christos Christou served six years as International President of Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders). As a young doctor, he saw a poster with a bullet beside a medical bag. Underneath it read: “Their weapons kill. Ours save lives.” That message stayed with him and led him to dedicate his life to humanitarian work in some of the world’s most fragile and conflict-affected regions. In this episode, we talk about leadership under pressure, moral courage, and what it truly means to stand on the side of humanity.

The story of Grier & redefining space exploration

In this new episode I speak with Grier Wilt, a NASA CapCom, spacewalk flight controller, and astronaut instructor whose work helps shape this new era of spaceflight. From training astronauts and supporting missions in real time, to preparing crews for future journeys around the Moon and beyond, her story is about people opening new possibilities for humanity beyond Earth.

The story of Kristina & fighting corruption

At the age of 22, Kristina built a crowdsourcing technology platform to help citizens fight corruption. The platform went viral in a matter of days. She tells the story of what led her to take action to drive change, the challenges she faced, but also how corruption thrives only when people believe that nothing else can change. Edosa Fakelaki ("I bribed") is a story that reminds us of the power of harnessing the collective energy of citizens.
