As we launch this third season of At the Podium, I am humbled and excited to share with you our new theme: Legacy. Thank you for joining me as we explore the tangible and intangible impacts we make in the spaces we occupy- our lives, our careers, our Relationships, our loves, and our dreams.

The guests in this season are spectacular, dynamic humans, each facing the successes and struggles of their lives to find a space where their talents and passions can shine, where their impact can be felt. I am honored to share this journey with them, and I am sure you will find their words, laughter, and humanity as uplifting as I have.

Among and between these storytellers, scribes and superheroes is a serendipitous weaving of narratives and lessons learned.

• Live without judgment, and only seek the lessons and the blessings of life.
• If you want more from your life, it is found in the discomfort of risk taking; comfortability is not part of the recipe of a life well lived.
• Ask the hard questions, because you can survive the hard answers.
• As you create a way for yourself, remember those upon whose broad shoulders you stand, and create a path for others to come along and beside you.
• Representation matters. Our faces must be seen. Our voices must be heard.
• You owe no one an explanation for the choices you make.
• When life breaks you, it is creating a space for the light to come through and for the healing to begin.

Today, we launch this new season with Regina Bain. If you are new to At the Podium, it has become a tradition to start each season with her wise words and friendship. For the many of you who have been with me on this exploration of humanity from the beginning, Regina once again brings the fullness of herself and her experiences to the ATP microphone. She does not disappoint! Since we last met with Regina, her work as the Executive Director of the Louis Armstrong House Museum and its support of the U.S. Department of State’s Art in Embassies Program have taken her to Bahrain and Germany. Globally, she is spreading the legacy of Armstrong and his music as a function of his genius artistry and activism, but also as a function of diplomacy and statecraft. She is also contemplating the spaces she wants to create where her own artistic life can re-flourish. As she has built buildings and concepts and held space for others’ artistic expressions, she will now build and hold space for herself.

Regina comes to us today with contemplative Wisdom derived from intentional living and soul exploration. And she comes with provocative questions that she is asking us and herself. Is your life worthy of being remembered? Is your story worth being told? Are you ready to feel the bumps of life, press up against them and learn from them? Are you ready to search, to ask the questions, to find the answers?
