Groundbreaking podcast brings together leading changemakers to inspire an American evolution, exploring how we can adapt, evolve and thrive—together.

BOSTON and WASHINGTON, Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, New Profit, a venture philanthropy organization expanding opportunity in America, announced new episodes of the podcast series, "Say More with Tulaine Montgomery."

During an election year when many Americans view the country as deeply divided, "Say More with Tulaine Montgomery" continues its mission of fostering radically candid, action-oriented, and joyful conversations around building a community that works for everyone. Hosted by New Profit CEO Tulaine Montgomery, each episode features conversations with influential leaders, philanthropists, civic visionaries, and activists and explores what it will take to build multiracial, intergenerational, cross-sector movements for a thriving society.

"Say More is a place where people of different identities and experiences can explore what it would take to build a world that works for everyone," said Tulaine Montgomery. "Listening is important, but it's not enough. We need to actively engage with each other in a co-design process focused on collective ideation and decision-making."

"Say More with Tulaine Montgomery" features an extraordinary lineup of guests, each bringing unique perspectives to the table. Episodes are available on all major podcast platforms today. Guests include:

Angela Glover Blackwell, Founder in Residence at PolicyLink
Heather McGhee, Author, Speaker and Advocate
Kwasi Mitchell, Deloitte's Chief Purpose & DEI Officer and Deloitte Global Chief Sustainability Officer
Sherrell Dorsey, Award-winning Data Journalist, Entrepreneur, Speaker, and Author
Marc Freedman, Founder and Co-CEO of CoGenerate and Lecturer at the Yale School of Management

While the show aims to support movement-building, it's also centered around joy and wisdom, embracing the philosophy articulated by previous guest, journalist and author Krista Tippett, who says, "I've never met a wise person who doesn't know how to laugh and enjoy and especially to laugh at themselves. It's a mark of wisdom. I think this theme of joy is not extra, not optional, not a luxury, not a privilege, but a human birthright, something that can't be taken away from us."

Created in partnership with Hueman Group Media, a Webby-winning podcast company for social change and impact, "Say More with Tulaine Montgomery" will build on the momentum of Season 2. In addition to "On Being" creator Krista Tippett, previous Say More guests include:

Rachel Cargle, Founder of The Loveland Foundation and The Loveland Company
Chris Emdin, Maxine Greene Chair for Distinguished Contributions to Education at Teachers College, Columbia University
Eric Liu, Co-founder and CEO of Citizen University
Marshall Ganz, Lecturer at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government

The new episodes promise to push the boundaries even further, offering listeners not just inspiration but actionable insights for creating positive change in their communities and beyond.
