Episode notes

Abby: I feel like we are both trying to be the mystery and the detective of our lives. We could get so much more done if you were real, she says. "I desperately need the world to watch this film every single person" She adds that for men it should be mandatory too. The episode is produced in partnership with Keynets 13 Studios.

We saw the film WOMEN TALKING and we couldn’t rest until we had the chance to speak with the genius who wrote, directed, and is nominated for an Oscar for it: Sarah Polley.

This conversation is about hope, survival, imagination, and revolution. It’s about burning it all down and building from the ashes.

Please listen to this conversation and then please watch the film. You will be powerfully changed.
