TED Talks Daily · Dolly Parton is burning up, not burning out | from WorkLife with Adam Grant · 26 Aug 2026 podcast

Hey WorkLifers, it's Adam Grant.

Today I'm excited to bring you a conversation I had on Clubhouse with a legend.

Thanks to our sponsors, LinkedIn, Morgan Stanley, ServiceNow, and UKG for making it possible.

Joining me today is the one and only Dolly Parton, musician, businesswoman, actor, author, humanitarian, one of the greatest songwriters and most beloved humans in this galaxy.

I'm pretty sure you've earned them all and it's an honor to have you here.

So I'm very excited to talk about your new book and your album, but I just want to start with a quote of yours that I loved, Dolly, which is you once said, After you reach a certain age, they think you're over.

Well, I will never be over.

I'd love to hear more about that.

What keeps you motivated at this stage in your career to keep writing and working?

That's beautiful.

Well, you've also reinvented yourself very recently.

Run Rose Run is your first ever novel, and of course it comes with an album.

Would love to know what motivated you to write fiction and and why now?

We will have no spoilers today, but I would love to hear about the creative process and how the experience of telling a story with Patterson was similar to and different from working on a song.

I'm curious about whether the process of writing the album actually influenced the book at all.

Well, I wanna I wanna ask you a little bit about how your career has evolved over the last few decades.

And obviously one of the themes that you've talked about for a long time is sexism.

And Dolly, one of the things I admire about you among many is that you don't run away from criticism.

You reclaim it, you take ownership over it.

You performed Dumb Blonde back in nineteen sixty six, backwards Barbie in two thousand eight, and now in your new album you have Woman Up and Take It Like a Man.
