As we move forward through our career, perhaps it’s time to consider some bigger aspirations beyond professional advancement—especially as we get older and ponder our legacy. How might we create a significant contribution to making a better world? In today’s episode, I talk with Emiliana Vegas and Harvard professor and author of the recent book, “Let’s Change the World,” who has spent her career focusing on issues to improve the educational opportunities in the so-called Global South—Latin America, the Caribbean and other developing regions. Dr. Vegas offers a practical and encouraging guide for everyone, no matter their age, who wants to make a positive change through their professional life—from ensuring access to quality schools and clean water, to improving healthcare and creating safer communities. Finding global institutions on that path are often difficult to understand, hard to get into, and even harder to navigate. Dr. Vegas, who has 20 years of experience working in international development organizations, will not only describe her own personal and professional journey, but provide a compendium of insider tips, best practices, and targeted advice, offering a blueprint for all of us determined to be a force for good.

For my generation of older TV watchers, there was a time—at least before DVRs totally upended weekly viewing habits—that Friday nights were frequently reserved to watch the iconic police drama, Blue Bloods. While the show recently completed its 14-year run, its executive producer and show runner, Kevin Wade, (thankfully for us) has not retired. He recently debuted with an extraordinarily accomplished crime thriller, Johnny Careless. In today’s 45 Forward episode, Kevin will take us through his storied tenure with Blue Bloods, as well as his eclectic career as a playwright, actor, screenwriter and producer that shaped his vision for the show. He’ll talk about how he shaped the show’s development, worked with a multigeneration of stars, managed demanding shooting schedules, budgets and surprising challenges. Kevin will also describe how he unexpectedly transitioned as a novelist, how he found his footing as a different kind of writer, and how he developed a new world of characters for Johnny Careless. As you’ll discover, no matter what the genre, Kevin Wade really knows how to tell a story.
