It Starts Now, January 28, 2026

Can Philosophy Be Sexy? In this episode of IT STARTS NOW, we explore life’s biggest questions through a refreshing, lighthearted lens. Host Juanita Dillard sits down with Vanessa Wills, Professor of Philosophy at George Washington University, for a thoughtful conversation about self-appreciation, aging, and how our ideas about life and death shape the way we live right now. Together, they challenge old narratives, embrace the wisdom that comes with experience, and invite listeners to lean fully into the chapter they are living today. With warmth, curiosity, and a touch of humor, this episode reminds us that deep thinking isn’t just powerful — it can be liberating. Because your time is limited, and living authentically has never mattered more.
