U.S. Senator Kyrsten Sinema - Practicing Radical Empathy

The Extra Mile - The Official Charity Miles Podcast ·

2020/10/29

This is actually a re-release of the first podcast I ever recorded-- almost four years ago, just after Donald Trump's inauguration. We now find ourselves a few days away from another Presidential election. In the midst of COVID. Very divided and on edge. THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL PODCAST. However, Kyrsten's is a voice we need to hear right now. She is one of the most bi-partisan members of the Senate and Congress generally. She has a tremendous record of working across the aisle and finding common

Rocco Lungariello - What is culture?

The Extra Mile - The Official Charity Miles Podcast ·

2020/10/02

Rocco Lungariello is the host and producer of the podcast, What Is Culture, a candid, interview-style podcast that explores workplace culture within Tangoe, an IT Lifecycle Management company. Just to highlight that: Tangoe is not a culture or HR company. Like I said, they're an IT Lifecycle Management company. But their company culture is so important to them that they created their own podcast about it. And it's not an internal podcast either. It's open to the public. Tangoe is one of our

The Extra Mile - The Official Charity Miles Podcast ·

2020/09/16

Our good friend, Barefoot Jake Brown happened to be in Eugene, Oregon when the wildfires started miles away. Through all of his experiences living a minimalist, nomadic lifestyle-- including running across the U.S. barefoot-- Jake has developed a set of skills and resourcefulness that is especially helpful in a crisis. And since he's not the kind of person who can sit on the sidelines, he's doing everything he can to help people who are evacuating the fires, and might otherwise fall through the

Jessica Stevens - Neuk the Leuk

2020/09/14

6 days before her 24th birthday in 2014, Jess Stevens was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and immediately began intensive treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute to save her life. It was by far the scariest time in her life, but she made it to the other side, healthy and VERY grateful because of the doctors and nurses at DFCI. That is why, every year since Jess' diagnosis, she gathers with her family, friends to walk in the Jimmy Fund Walk for DFCI. Jess' team, “Neuk the Leuk,” is

If you like heavy breathing, you'll like this interview! It's my first live, in-person, on-the-run interview of 2020. And I couldn't have asked for a better person to run with than Michael Rodgers, the New York Road Runners VP of Youth and Community Engagement. Michael directs a variety of programs that offer the running community opportunities to actively support NYRR's mission to help and inspire people through running. These programs include: 1.

Stacey D. Stewart - Understanding Implicit Bias

The Extra Mile - The Official Charity Miles Podcast ·

2020/08/13

Stacey D. Stewart is the CEO of the March of Dimes. In my first podcast with Stacey back in May, I was surprised to learn that the U.S. is one of the most dangerous countries for women to be pregnant and give birth. I was also surprised to hear how doctors' implicit biases, make this even more true for women of color, even when accounting for income, education and other socio-economic factors. Our first conversation happened before the murder of George Floyd and all that has followed since. Our

Katherine Adamenko: Why Well-Being At Work Matters...

The Extra Mile - The Official Charity Miles Podcast ·

2020/07/21

Katherine Adamenko is the Manager of Well-being at Ropes & Gray LLP, one of the best law firms in the world. I used to work for a couple of law firms just like Ropes & Gray, and I can't recall anyone being concerned with wellness back then. But times surely have changed. When we were getting ready to launch our new Employee Empowerment program for companies to sponsor their employees, I cold-emailed a bunch of law firms to see who would be interested. Katherine was the first to get back to me, and

Bob Bordone Part 2: How to Develop Conflict Resilience

The Extra Mile - The Official Charity Miles Podcast ·

2020/07/10

My first interview with Bob received more positive feedback than any other interview I recorded. For those who missed it, I highly recommend going back a couple episodes to listen to our first interview. It's just two episodes back. In the first interview we talked about how to have uncomfortable conversations. In this conversation we talk a bit more about why to have uncomfortable conversations. We dive deeper into the purpose of uncomfortable conversations, the challenge of slippery slopes and

Meb Keflezighi is an Olympic Silver Medalist and the winner of the Boston and NYC Marathons. He's a legend in the sport, and probably one of the most loved athletes in recent years. I asked for Meb's insight on how he handles unforeseen challenges, and for his perspective on the Black Lives Matter movement. Huge thanks to Meb for all he does to inspire. #EveryMileMatters

The Extra Mile - The Official Charity Miles Podcast ·

2020/06/16

Bob Bordone is a senior fellow at Harvard Law School, a former Harvard Law School Professor, and Founder and former Director of the Harvard Negotiation and Mediation Clinical Program. When I was in Law School (16 years ago!), Bob was my advisor. With all that is going on in the world today, I thought it would be great to dust off my old negotiation and conflict management textbooks, and give Bob a call. I'm glad I did. Because now more than ever, we all need to develop our conflict resilience

Dan Pallotta: The Everyday Philanthropist

The Extra Mile - The Official Charity Miles Podcast ·

2020/06/05

Dan Pallotta is one of my heroes. His book, Uncharitable, dared to challenge the conventions that constrained the way we thought about charity. His 2013 iconic TED talk has been viewed nearly 5 million times. My first interview with him a couple of years ago is one of my favorite interviews ever. And now he's further distilled his insights into The Everyday Philanthropist, a simple, easy-to-understand guide to help us all understand that there’s a better way to do giving. In this interview, you'll

2020/06/04

Dave McGillivary is the race director of the Boston Marathon. As many of you know, the Boston Marathon was one of the first major events that was "postponed" because of the coronavirus. When they originally postponed it, they were hoping that they'd be able to run it in September. However, as it became apparent that this would not be possible, either, they last week made the hard decision to "go virtual", at least for this year. It's not yet clear when we'll be able to have races and live events

Kevin Carroll: Forever and Passionately Curious

The Extra Mile - The Official Charity Miles Podcast ·

2020/05/22

Kevin Carrol is a Katalyst, a spark. I first met Kevin at a conference several years ago and I've been a huge fan ever since. When I met him, he was the "Creative Katalyst" at Nike. Phil Knight called him the Mayor of Nike. But his journey to Nike was never preordained. He took a lot of twists and turns, like the feather in Forest Gump. Kevin was raised by his grandparents in Philadelphia after his parents, addicted to drugs, abandoned him at age six. Everything in his environment told him that he

Kristen Ulmer: Fear is the answer

The Extra Mile - The Official Charity Miles Podcast ·

2020/05/14

Kristen Ulmer is one of the world's top extreme athletes-- ever. As a big mountain extreme skier, she was #1 in her sport for 12 years in a row, and regularly named the top female extreme athlete by all the magazines and authorities that rate that kind of thing. As she made her living by literally defying death on a daily basis, Kristen learned a lot about fear. She learned how to harness her fear to propel her to new heights. And she learned how fear could cripple her if she ignored or tried to

In honor of Mother's Day, I'm tremendously honored to share this podcast with Stacey Stewart, CEO of March of Dimes, one of our newest charity partners. When we started working with March of Dimes, I was very surprised to learn that the United States is one of the most dangerous countries to be pregnant and give birth. Which is why Stacey and March of Dimes are leading the charge in fighting for the health of all moms and babies. In this slightly rainy (and hilly) interview, Stacy and I talk about

2020/05/09

Joe doesn't pull any punches. And I was taken aback when he jumped right into the interview by saying that he thinks we need to let everyone out of the quarantine now. But as we got into it, I understood what he meant. We can't hide from COVID-- just like we can't hide from any of our fears. Doing that only delays the inevitable, and maybe makes it even worse. There's a lot of practical and jarring wisdom in this interview. Some if it may be hard to hear. Some of it may even shake you up a bit
