Follow the show: The Run-Through with Vogue

After a five year-long hiatus from New York Fashion Week, Christopher John Rogers is back, closing out the first day of shows. He joins Nicole Phelps and Vogue’s Jose Criales-Unzueta (and former SCAD bestie) to chat about why he decided to make his return to the official calendar, where his love of color comes from, and what he thinks about all the fashion house reshuffling. 

Plus, Chioma and Chloe discuss the Met Gala dress code that just dropped and look ahead to the busy week of fashion shows, the GQ Bowl and Superbowl.

If you can’t bring yourself to watch the actual Super Bowl this weekend (pour one out for the Steelers!), you can at least catch some four-legged Pittsburghers in another big game. The mayoral race is looking tight — at least when it comes to fundraising. And there’s some good news from the state legislature for Pennsylvanians with food allergies. Plus, the City Cast Pittsburgh team got a special sneak peak of the new terminal at the Pittsburgh International Airport.

If you’ve ever felt like anxiety is running your life, this episode is for you. We’re joined by Kimberly Quinlan, a licensed therapist, anxiety expert, and host of Your Anxiety Toolkit podcast—recognized by The New York Times as one of the top six podcasts to calm your anxious mind.

She also shares practical, science-backed strategies for managing anxiety in daily life, how self-criticism fuels anxiety, and why self-kindness is actually a secret weapon for motivation and success. Plus, we talk about the role of social media, perfectionism, and uncertainty in anxiety.

My conversation with Shark Tank's Robert Herjavec left me truly inspired. From his humble beginnings as an immigrant living in poverty to becoming one of the most successful tech entrepreneurs, Robert's story is a masterclass in resilience and reinvention. What struck me most was his emphasis on joy – not just experiencing it, but embodying it as a transformative force in business and life. He opened up about his darkest moments, including thoughts of suicide, and how serving others at a homeless shelter helped him rediscover his purpose. Whether you're an entrepreneur looking to scale your business or someone seeking to find meaning in your journey, Robert's insights on moving from hard work to smart work, and his perspective on wealth versus true fulfillment, will challenge your thinking and inspire action.

On February 3, 2023, a Norfolk Southern train carrying hazardous chemicals derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, just an hour from Pittsburgh. Officials initially said air and water were safe, but residents reported lots of mysterious symptoms — and they continue to worry about the long-term health effects of the vent and burn of a million pounds of toxic vinyl chloride. Julie Grant, environment and energy reporter for the Allegheny Front, explains what we do (and don’t) know about the health impacts of the derailment, where lawsuits and rail safety legislation currently stand, and how the community is coping as we mark a somber second anniversary.

You can find Julie’s recent reporting on East Palestine at The Allegheny Front and on WHYY’s The Pulse.

Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty

How do you define success beyond money and career?

Do you think wealth should come with a responsibility to give back?

Today,  Jay Shetty sits down with one of the most influential innovators of our time, Bill Gates, to explore the intersection of personal growth, technological innovation, and philanthropy. Bill reflects on his journey from a curious child fascinated by computers to building Microsoft and becoming a global force for change.

Bill shares candid stories about his upbringing, his parents’ profound influence, and the lessons he learned from their high expectations and encouragement. He also talks about his career-long passion for innovation and his views on climate change, the promise of AI, and the Gates Foundation’s life-saving work, such as developing vaccines and tackling malnutrition. His insights are not just about the cutting edge of technology but also about humanity’s moral responsibility to harness it for good.

A deeply reflective portion of the episode focuses on grief, as Gates discusses the loss of close friends like Paul Allen and Kent Evans, and how their influence continues to guide his mission. Jay and Bill share thoughts on how service and philanthropy can redefine success and leave a lasting legacy, with Bill underscoring the importance of giving back and the moral imperative for the wealthy to use their resources to create equity.

In this interview, you'll learn:

How to Innovate with Purpose and Impact

How to Lead with Empathy and Collaboration

How to Turn Failure into a Learning Opportunity

How to Use AI to Solve Global Challenges

How to Honor the Legacy of Mentors and Loved Ones

How to Find Joy in Lifelong Learning

Whether it’s pushing the boundaries of innovation, building meaningful relationships, or giving back to make the world a better place, we all have the capacity to create positive change.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
