In this Women’s History Month, Pennsylvania State Senator Patty Kim made history when she was the first Asian-American woman to be elected to the upper chamber of the state legislature, in November 2025. She talks about her inspiration to be a public servant and the issues that motivate her to make Pennsylvanians' lives better. In the course of the conversation she also talks about her natural introverted temperament and how it can be a struggle for her to be an introvert in an extroverted job and world. But she also believes that the inherent gifts of introverts to be attentive listeners - noticing the feelings and demeanors of others, and being sensitive to their needs - can be a great strength for a leader.

What if one of the most important parts of our health isn’t physical or mental—but social? In this episode, we’re joined by Kasley Killam, Harvard-trained social scientist, two-time TED speaker, and author of The Art and Science of Connection. Kasley is a globally recognized expert on social health—the dimension of well-being rooted in meaningful relationships, community, and belonging.

Kasley shares the powerful research behind why strong relationships help us live longer, healthier, and happier lives, and why our society has historically overlooked connection as a core pillar of health. Together we explore how to recognize when our social health may be suffering, and simple ways we can begin strengthening our “social muscles.”

We also talk about the power of listening, the courage of vulnerability, and how organizations and communities can move from being transactional to truly relational. In a time when many people feel isolated, Kasley offers both insight and hope—reminding us that flourishing is something we do together.

A recent transplant to New York City, Ed also dabbles in acting and writing, and believes good conversations and a hearty laugh can change everything — and he’s always up for both. In this episode, we have a thoughtful and laugh-filled conversation in which we talk about travel and his life experiences, and Ed believes the place where you feel safe is where you are most “at home”.
