Today is a day of celebration for our Tuesday People Community as this episode releases on Tuesday, 2.22.22 (also known as TWOsday!). And today, host Mitch Albom discusses two subjects that converged in his life this week: both dealing with human touch, both with very different end results. Regular listeners to the Tuesday People podcast know that Morrie Schwartz spoke often about the importance of human contact. Is it as welcome in today's world as it was back then? Join us as we lean into this topic on this twenty second day of the second month of the twenty second year of this century!

Worrying about things we can't control isn't a productive way to spend our days. Yet most of us worry about things that are happening in the future, or things that may never happen at all . Tuesday People podcast host, Mitch Albom (a self-admitted worrier), dives deep into the topic and gives some sage advice handed down by his mother - and our beloved Morrie Schwartz - about using worry to enable you to prepare for circumstances, so you're not worried about those circumstances before they arise.

On today's episode of the Tuesday People podcast, host Mitch Albom discusses fame, and what it means for those who live their lives in the public eye. With fame comes scrutiny. Yet everybody wants their 15 minutes without thinking about the consequences of how fame can change lives. And not always for the better. We hear from Morrie as he talks about what it was like to receive his first taste of the spotlight after his initial interview on Ted Koppel's "Nightline." Little did he know then, that his star would still be shining brightly, and inspiring people worldwide, almost 30 years later.

What is a barometer of real friendship? It's a lot like wedding vows: For richer and poorer, for better or worse, in sickness and in health. A friend is someone who wants you to do well, even if they're not doing that well themselves. In today's Tuesday People episode, host Mitch Albom talks about friendship, and - along with wisdom from Morrie Schwartz - how the absence of envy can make for a better friendship all around.

In August of 1995, Mitch Albom approached his literary agent about an idea he had for a book. Mitch's agent asked him to put his thoughts down in the form of a letter to the agent, and he would, in turn, share the letter with publishers who might be interested in the story. While going through notes recently, Mitch ran across that letter. A letter he hadn't seen for nearly 30 years. And until today, that letter has never been read or shared with anyone other than the publishers upon whose desks it landed. The Pitch: Tuesdays with Morrie. The outcome? You all know how that story ends. Tune in to today's Tuesday People episode to hear the very beginning of this beautiful tale.

Society and the media love to stir the pot and make us believe we're living in an "us against them" world. There is "our side" and "our enemies' side," and no middle ground in between. While common enemies can sometimes bring a country together, more often than not, they are thrown in our paths to divide us. On today's Tuesday People podcast, host Mitch Albom discusses how love, understanding of others, and finding common ground can go a long way toward bringing us together, rather than pushing us further apart.

Happy New Year, Tuesday People! On today's episode, host Mitch Albom talks about resolutions. In particular, the need for all of us to be more inclusive when it comes to welcoming "others" into our lives. Instead of excluding those outside of our immediate circle - those who may not mirror our beliefs or lifestyle - embrace them. The more we objectify outsiders as "others," the less we're going to care about them. How about welcoming a stranger into your life today?
