How To Human

Brené Brown and Sam Lamott sit down to talk about moving through fear, the power of vulnerability, and letting go of shame. In her words: I’m a research professor at the University of Houston where I hold the Huffington Endowed Chair. I’ve spent the past sixteen years studying courage, vulnerability, empathy, and shame. I’m the author of four books: The Gifts of Imperfection, Daring Greatly, Rising Strong, and Braving the Wilderness. The bottom line: I believe that vulnerability – the willingness to be “all in” even when you know it can mean failing and hurting – is brave. I do NOT believe that cussing and praying are mutually exclusive. And, I absolutely believe that the passing lane is for passing only.

Paul Williams is an American composer, singer, songwriter and actor responsible for some of the great songs of the 20th century. He has written songs that were sung by David Bowie, Barbra Streisand, Three Dog Night, The Carpenters, and even Kermit the Frog. He most recently won the Grammy for album of the year in collaboration with Daft Punk. But we’re not here to talk about any of that, we’re here to talk about Paul’s biggest accomplishment, finding grace. Paul got all the fame, money, and acclaim anyone could ever hope for, and none of those things filled the emptiness and loneliness inside. This is a conversation about finding our way home and feeling comfortable in our own skin.
