Chris Duffy

You know, we've talked a lot about your book and about these conversations, but we haven't talked a ton about the fact that you are a journalist and that you use this in your work.

So I wonder how you think about your role as a journalist in affects the ideas about supporting, trying to have better conversations and how you implement that.

The show's called How to Be a Better Human.

What is one thing that you are personally working on to be a better human right now?

Well, Monica Guzman, thank you so much for being here.

It has been a pleasure to talk to you and your book.

I never thought of it that way.

I absolutely love it.

Thank you so much, Monica.

That is our show for today.
