CONVERSATIONS WITH CALVIN — WE THE SPECIES

Hosted by Calvin Schwartz

Meet ADITI SANDHIR. “This is magically one of my mostspecial and precious interviews. Last September, I was assigned to mentor Aditias part of the 4WARD Mentoring program at Rutgers University. She is asophomore studying Supply Chain and Marketing at Rutgers Business School. Afterour first Zoom session, instant chemistry. I marveled at her depth, brilliance,versatility, and eloquence. I joked that I felt like I was talking to aforty-year-old, not a sophomore. A huge compliment, I explained. The programrequired one mentoring session a month. We decided on one Zoom session a week.That’s chemistry. And testament to Aditi, we bridged and leveled our sixty-yearage difference that first hour. We met in person when Aditi chaired a Diningwith the Distinguished event with the Future Business Leaders of America. Thisyear flew by. Aditi amazed. A most perfect mentoring experience. And thisinterview today was our last official communication. Hugely sentimental. Andthis interview is like the last 800 global interviews and videos I’ve done onConversations with Calvin. Best to watch and absorb. In the meantime. Some ofAditi’s thoughts. Set boundaries. The importance of networking. Consistency inhabits. Sleep. Eat. Stay in the present (like the power of Now). Wanting tospend the day with Kalpana Chawla (the first woman of Indian origin in space).To give back. I didn’t want this interview to end. I continue to marvel atAditi. But it’s Saturday. A few weeks to finals.” Calvin

Meet QUINN VASBINDER. “I’m a big fan of the universe and its powers of connection, which meansI was thrilled to have met Quinn. A Zoom chat and commonalities anddiscoveries. Basketball. Acting. Courage. Auditions. Risk-taking. Rejection.Kindness. And a half-century age disparity. I never felt it. Actually, in twoZooms, I mentioned to Quinn that I thought he was fifty (not twenty-something).A huge compliment, I carefully explained. How worldly, grounded, disciplined.Hugely anticipated interview. To the legions of Gen Z, millennials, and beyond,an amazing spokesperson. You all know I often say the movie Casablanca changedmy life, so Quinn’s acting journey intrigues and bonds. He is entertaining,ebullient, genuine, caring, and brilliant. I love his thought, “courage overcomfort.” His journey now is taking him from the stage to film and TV. And whenI asked his favorite film. “Jurassic Park.” Can you imagine his reaction when Imentioned going on a fossil dig next week with a dinosaur DNA researcher?  Watch the interview. In the meantime, hereare some words and thoughts. Going on stage for the first time was terrifying.Being in sales helps with rejection. Stoicism. It’s wisdom from a hundred yearsago. Not much is in our control. Do you think courage is something you are bornwith or build? “Build it!” Everybody is worth listening to. A favorite word,hope. Afraid to take that leap. Just do it. I get these spiritual visions.Quinn is accepting a Best Acting Award in Los Angeles. I knew him when. A greatinterview.”  Calvin

YouTube:

BIO: Quinn Vasbinder is an emerging actor navigating the high‑stakestransition into principal film and television roles within the California andLos Angeles market. Currently pursuing higher‑level representation and largeropportunities, Quinn offers a rare “in‑process” perspective on ambition,uncertainty, and personal growth while the journey is actively unfolding.

At the core of Quinn’s message is the belief that the mostmeaningful growth exists on the other side of fear. Drawing from livedexperience and philosophical study, he speaks candidly about risk‑taking,rejection, discipline, and choosing long‑term character over short‑termcomfort.

Quinn is deeply influenced by Stoic philosophy, regularlyengaging with the writings compiled in The Daily Stoic—not just forinspiration, but as a practical framework for staying grounded amiduncontrollable variables. He explores how ancient principles like patience,responsibility, and courage remain essential tools for navigating moderncreative careers, identity shifts, and an increasingly chaotic, tech‑drivenworld.

Long‑term, Quinn aspires to become a “worldly man,” using travel, discomfort,and exposure to diverse perspectives to become a better communicator, creator,and human being. His values—patience,kindness, and bravery—guideboth his work and worldview.

CONVERSATIONS WITH CALVIN — WE THE SPECIES

Hosted by Calvin Schwartz

Meet ROBERT (BOB) COLLIN; “I’ve been roaming around theenvironment and climate change since I attended the first Earth Day on April22, 1970. That changed the course of my life. Six months ago, I met Bob. It wasthe universe. Here are the precious words I wrote after our first interview.They still resonate. Connectivity. Commonality. Purpose. Journey. Resilience.Even basketball. Many key elements exist. Climate. Environment. Adaptation.Flourishing. Yes, basketball too. Bob has several degrees. BS, Law, Master's.He teaches, has been appointed to advisory commissions, and has publishedencyclopedias and law reviews. Endless accomplishments via dedication. Thematrix of our interview with Robert, author of ‘The Climate AdaptationGeneration, A Blueprint for the Future’, was awarded the best climate changebook in the US for 2025. The essence of that interview. Bob illuminates andinspires.

 NOW Bob just releasedhis new book, ‘Who Gets to Adapt? Environmental Elites, Blue CollarCommunities, and the Growing Climate Divide.” It’s on my Kindle and reading it.It’s hard for me to be brief. Bob’s book is wondrously brilliant and sonecessary in our world today. I called his book ‘biblical,’ A bible ofadaptation. I’ll repeat myself. Hugely necessary. I know a little bit aboutadaptation and climate divide. It’s funny how we quietly drifted from keepingEarth's temperature rising by more than 1.8 degrees to sustainability andadaptation. I marvel at Bob’s book. How thorough and complete. He’s a delightto listen to. His energy, caring, and passion is effusive. He’s a gift. I usethat term sparingly.” Calvin

Film name: Golden Afternoon

Running time: 14 minutes, 17 seconds

Synopsis: Trying to stay afloat in the gig economy, Janiefinds herself planning a celebration of life for a woman she didn’t know. Asshe meets the friends and relatives of the deceased, she discovers that thereis no one way to grieve - and that meaningful memories can be made anywhere,even at your day job

Mathilde's Director's Statement: "As a filmmaker, I wasdrawn to this script because it creates an immersive and emotionally resonantexperience through the main character of Janie, who is initially an outsider tothis very unique experience, one that explores the complex intersections ofgrief, family, community, and the human experience. The story follows Janie whois hired to coordinate an outdoor event, which she soon realizes is anenigmatic celebration of life ceremony for a beloved family member of aclose-knit community. As Janie navigates this foreign environment, shewitnesses the family's intense grief and the beautiful ways they come togetherto honor the life of their loved one. In the family’s grief, they choose tocelebrate their loved one through a very uncommon choice that comes as a shockto Janie. Through this film, I aim to showcase the unpredictability of life andthe ways in which grief and loss can affect us all, regardless of ourbackgrounds or experiences, even as strangers."

Hosted by Calvin Schwartz

Meet OXANA ALI; “Remindful of an old TV commercial, maybeseventies, with a famous singer, and anticipation. Indeed, I’d beenanticipating this interview with Oxana for weeks. Why, you ask? Because of therelevance of Oxana’s work and expertise. Without being too dramatic. Her workand expertise are in life and health, and in the connection betweenneuroscience, dental health, and holistic health. She is eloquent, passionate,caring, and brilliant. Her accents remind me about the movie "Casablanca.” Yes, reducing her work simplistically,oral care is now strongly linked to cardiac and mental health. Powerful stuffhere. And Oxana is writing a book for parents. She works mostly with kids. Sheexplains how the mouth is related to emotions, breathing, and systemic health.Good habits begin in childhood. She talks mind, body, and soul. Pay attentionto yourself. It affects kids. Teach kids how to brush and remove ‘bad stuff’from their heads. Daily practices to manage emotional baggage or chronicstress. She has the power to transform lives. The brilliance of her wordsdrifted me to my grandchildren. I could not “not” focus on the children. Ourgift. Then I realized Oxana is a gift. A perfect interview.” Calvin
