Six Conversations about America
View them on-demand now or anytime, presented free in partnership with Resolute Square.
Now’s a great time to view – or to revisit – some of the sessions of which we’re most proud: informative, inspiring conversations about America from people we admire.
Hello,
We hope you’re having a great 4th of July weekend!
With the holiday, we’re sending along this quick invitation to explore something of which we’re very proud: Six free, independent 90-minute conversations first presented toward the end of last year, each hosted by Megan Matson in partnership with Resolute Square (which has since grown into something bigger and even better called Lincoln Square.)
These conversations were the among the first in our ongoing series of written pieces, short videos, and bursts of inspiration that we came to call Five Things I’ve Learned about America. It’s a series we’ll again be continuing this summer.
As always, you can follow the links and images below to learn more about each informative and often inspiring conversation. You need only register with your email address to view each session, and to return to the session archive as often as you like.
If you get a chance, we also encourage you to check out Lincoln Square, and to subscribe all they’re up to on Substack. We’re great admirers of all they do individually – and collectively.
And: Look for more written and video reflections from Americans we admire, coming soon.
In the meantime, do make the most of the remaining weekend!
