Learn to connect better with others in every area of your life. Immerse yourself in spirited conversations with people who know how hard it is, and yet how good it feels, to really connect with other people – whether it’s one person, an audience or a whole country. You'll know many of the people in these conversations – they are luminaries in our culture. Some you may not know. But what links them all is their powerful ability to relate and communicate. It's something we need now more than ever.

Customer Reviews
Fantastic podcast!
Alan has fascinating guests and does an outstanding job of interviewing them.
Alan is a great listener
Alan is always prepared and listens carefully to his guests. I especially enjoyed listening to Tom Hanks discuss his novel about the movie business.
Well done and entertaining
It’s so refreshing to listen to a beautifully produced podcast that is equally informative and entertaining. Alan is an excellent host and asks questions that the normal person is thinking about. Also I appreciate the guests aren’t the usual Hollywood people but scientists, writers and all around interesting people.
