Alan Alda on Curiosity, Connection, and the Art of a Meaningful Conversation

Alan Alda needs no introduction… but here’s mine anyway. Emmy-winning actor, writer, director, and host of Clear and Vivid, Alan has spent decades showing the world the power of curiosity, empathy, and listening - and has devoted much of his life to helping people communicate better.

In this episode, we talk about what 350+ podcast conversations have taught him about human nature, why a hostage negotiator’s playbook works just as well in a marriage, and how to turn any interaction into a true exchange. We dig into the difference between hearing someone and really understanding them - and why that skill might just be the most valuable one you can have.

Alan continues to be a guiding light for millions, and having him on Login was an absolute honor.
