We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming to share an episode of Need a Lift? a show that focuses on bringing people together during a tough time in our culture.

Host Tim Shriver talks to wise guests who have transformed painful moments in their lives into purpose through spiritual rituals and practices. Episodes feature guests like author Simon Sinek, who discusses why idealism belongs in the workplace, and Olympic athlete Michael Phelps and his wife Nicole, who discuss the importance of cultivating an inner life in competition, mental health, and their marriage. Need a Lift? is truly the antidote to the hatred and despair we’re all exhausted of hearing, giving us hope that change is possible. In this episode, bestselling novelist Min Jin Lee shares why she creates characters that open our hearts to the most beautiful parts of ourselves.
