Who doesn't love In-N-Out Burger? In this podcast, the chain's CEO Lynsi Snyder-Ellingson opens up to Drew about the family business, family values, faith, and the counter-intuitive secret to the brand's success.

NYT best-selling author Dan Pink joins TMWTS to talk with Drew about unanswerable questions, avoiding hard conversations, and how Pink's prolific career flows from his concept of the “slow hunch.” Drew pitches in with a backstage story of how this episode came to life (twice), and learns from Dan what it takes to have what are essentially conversations with his readers.

The inaugural episode of this podcast series is devoted to a conversation with Sheryl Sandberg. In addition to serving as the COO of Facebook, Sheryl is a renowned thought leader on life and the workplace. Our conversation explored the nuances of feedback, and gave us an opportunity to delve into her sensitive and thoughtful perspective after the tragic death of her husband Dave.

I often remind my clients that we're not always dealing with life and death; but I can't say that as you listen to Dr. Atul Gawande—surgeon, writer, and researcher. Our interview weaves through interesting connections, resulting in how the right kind of conversations can save, extend, and improve the quality of life.

Where does our belief that we can make a difference in the world come from? What kind of connection with others is necessary to create that difference in a unique way? A conversation with Lena Waithe, the first African-American woman to win an Emmy® for comedy writing, helps us explore these questions through the prism of her experiences.
