Full Episode
This episode of the Oprah Podcast is presented by Lilly. Well, hey there. Glad you're here with me on the Oprah Podcast. My guest today is the former Prime Minister of New Zealand, the Right Honourable Dame Jacinda Ardern. And when she was only 37 years old, she made history as the youngest female head of state in the entire world. That means on the planet Earth.
But what truly set her apart was her mission to lead with kindness.
If I could distill it down into one concept that we are pursuing in New Zealand, it is simple and it is this. Kindness.
Her first memoir is now available and it's called A Different Kind of Power. And I highly recommend it for anybody who's thinking about leadership in your own life or leadership. been through challenging times or just living and being able to live at the utmost best, even in the crises of your life.
It's a different kind of power and being able to tap into that power is what this book is all about. And also the new documentary, Prime Minister, which is so revelatory and really a thrill to watch.
How do we shine a light on the humanity that I know is still there and amongst everything else?
The documentary will be released exclusively in theaters on June 13th, just a week from now as we're speaking. Jacinda Ardern, welcome. Thank you. What a pleasure to be here. It is such an honor to have you here. Oh, the treat is all mine. Thank you. Well, I have to tell you, I had the... I don't even know what you call it, my first experience in New Zealand.
I was filming a movie called Wrinkle in Time and we shot it in New Zealand and I wanted to go just because it was being filmed in New Zealand. And I have never experienced a world like that. It's like you're driving along and you turn a corner and you're like... Oh my gosh. Everything is breathtaking.
It is. It is genuinely a breathtaking place. And with beautiful people too.
