Frank Bruni: Resilience and Adaptation

On this episode, Donny sits down with nationally renowned op-ed columnist for the New York Times, Frank Bruni. Together they dive right into Frank's recent memoire, The Beauty of Dusk, where he recounts the lessons he's learned from partially losing his vision. Frank shares how he learned not to feel sorry for himself and the messages he received after spending time with people who had overcome incredible hardships. The two also discuss how people have lost the ability to think logically, the effect of social media, and why Frank eventually decided to pivot in his career. And, of course, Donny takes us through this week's top brands, naming Zelenskyy, Dolly Parton, and the NFL, among many others as either "up" or "down" in his Brands of the Week segment.
