    ‘Change comes by rolling up your sleeves’: Alicia Garza, co-founder of Black Lives Matter
    Dec 16 2020
    For our final episode of 2020, Anna is joined by Alicia Garza, the activist and co-founder of the Black Lives Matter movement. They look back at 2020 — a year when Americans endured crises from the pandemic to the economic recession, racial injustices and a highly contentious presidential election. Through it all, women have often taken the lead. And as we head into 2021, Alicia tells us how she’s looking to set the course in activism for the year to come.

  • ‘Push yourself, but take it easy’: NRCC’s Parker Poling

    ‘Push yourself, but take it easy’: NRCC’s Parker Poling
    Nov 18 2020
    Now that the 2020 campaign is over, Anna speaks with Parker Poling, the executive director of the National Republican Congressional Committee, which made substantial gains this year. Parker's job is a big responsibility — working with hundreds of campaigns, candidates, members of congress, donors and campaign staffers as the clock ticks down to election day. But Parker herself seems to take it all in stride. She talks about the wisdom she's learned over the years that allows her to do that — and the importance of being kind to yourself along the way.

  • What I learned by listening: J.Crew CEO Jan Singer

    What I learned by listening: J.Crew CEO Jan Singer
    Oct 21 2020
    This year, J.Crew is closing all of its stores and offices on Election Day in an effort to encourage its workers to vote. It’s not a move you’d expect from a major corporation. But Jan Singer isn’t your typical CEO. In fact, she didn't even want to be a CEO when she started out — and her (mostly male) superiors were quick to say she couldn't be a CEO unless she changed who she was. She didn't. And now leads one of the most iconic fashion retailers in America. We talked about her journey as a leader, what she's learned from listening, and how the pandemic is shaping J.Crew's outlook.   Hosted by Anna Palmer Produced by Zack Stanton Executive Produced by Irene Noguchi
