🌟 Deep Thinkers, Creative Leaders, and Purpose-Driven Souls—This 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 doesn’t ignore reality—but reshapes it.
In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, we unpack realistic optimism—what 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 Mir’s rich and layered career journey—spanning music, media, activism, and beyond—and how her love for storytelling, faith, and service fuels every chapter.
✨ Mir drops gems on navigating burnout, honoring your voice, and staying creatively inspired—even 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? What’s your personal ritual for staying ready?
