Krista Tippett is the creator and host of On Being and a New York Times bestselling author. She radiates wisdom and generosity and is one of the wisest voices of our time. In 2014, President Obama awarded Krista the National Humanities Medal at the White House for “thoughtfully delving into the mysteries of human existence.”

In this conversation, we dive into the deeper meaning of the words “beauty” and “love.” We discuss cultivating qualities of character, going from, as Krista says, “wound to gift,” illuminating the quiet voices, and much more.

It’s hard for me to put into words how special this episode is to me. It’s one I will always cherish.

I’d like to extend my deepest gratitude to Krista and the entire team at On Being for welcoming me to their beautiful studio and my thanks to Chris Heagle for recording this episode.
