đ Deep Thinkers, Creative Leaders, and Purpose-Driven SoulsâThis Episode Is for You.
This week on The Optimist Project, I had the honor of sitting down with multihyphenate creative strategist and cultural force, Mir Harris.
As the founder and CEO of MirSays, Mir has built a career rooted in storytelling, social impact, and the kind of optimism that doesnât ignore realityâbut reshapes it.
In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, we unpack realistic optimismâwhat it looks like to hold faith and clarity through dark moments, how rituals and community ground us, and why leading with integrity is a revolutionary act.
We also explore Mirâs rich and layered career journeyâspanning music, media, activism, and beyondâand how her love for storytelling, faith, and service fuels every chapter.
⨠Mir drops gems on navigating burnout, honoring your voice, and staying creatively inspiredâeven when the world feels heavy. And in our Giving Flowers segment, she pays tribute to the artists and changemakers lighting the way forward.
What helps you stay rooted in optimism? Whatâs your personal ritual for staying ready?
đŠ We want to hear from youâDM us, send a voice note, or drop us a message and share your light.
