  • Growing Hope: What Depression-Era Gardens and Rainn Wilson Teach Us About Hard Times

    Growing Hope: What Depression-Era Gardens and Rainn Wilson Teach Us About Hard Times
    Mar 30 2026
    During the Great Depression, Detroit officials carved up vacant lots and handed exhausted families seeds and tools. It wasn't a hobby — it was survival. And a lesson for today: hope isn't just a feeling, it's a habit you practice. Then Rainn Wilson — yes, Dwight Schrute — joins Sharon to talk about the loneliness epidemic, the rise of cynicism, and why posting about something isn't the same as changing it.

  • Welcome to Becoming You with Suzy Welch

    Welcome to Becoming You with Suzy Welch
    Mar 19 2026
    Here on The Preamble, we look for the historical context and the factual clarity behind the headlines because we know that understanding the "why" helps us navigate the "what." But as we look at the big stories driving our future, we can’t ignore the smaller, quieter stories happening in our own lives—the transitions, the pivots, and the big questions about our own purpose. Questions like: “What should I actually do with my life?” and “How do I make the hard decision to stay or go?” Today, I’m sharing a special introduction to a voice that brings that same commitment to clarity and honesty to the art of self-discovery: Suzy Welch. Suzy is a three-time New York Times bestselling author and the professor at the helm of NYU’s most popular class on authentic purpose. She is a leading expert on decision-making, but she delivers her expertise with a refreshing, irreverent wit. On her podcast, Becoming You, Suzy tackles the "freaking truth" about life and work today without leaving you in despair. Find Becoming You with Suzy Welch wherever you get your podcasts.

Sharon is a historical savant. Her knowledge of all things history and all things random and unknown is vast and far reaching.
She’s a fascinating story teller and great at capturing the essence of those she brings back from the dead. I love being a part of her book club and I love even more listening to her podcast.
