Ten years ago, our son Gabe was born by emergency C-section. Two years ago, we started quarantine on his birthday. Since then, he's learned a lot — and so have we. So in this birthday episode dedicated to Gabe, here are reflections (and life lessons) inspired by our son.

Laura and Eve Bishop met a little over a year ago—but so much has changed since that it feels like a lifetime. They talk about the challenges and changes that have shaped them, what unifies their work, and why they’re still feeling hopeful even in this time of division.

What can you learn about life when working with your spouse? In this chat between Laura and Nate, we dig into the value of conflict, letting go of ego, and the need for timers and taking breaks.

“We have to confront the history of what our country is and what it's based upon.”
