Summary

Kelly moderated a live panel event at the Aspen Ideas Festival with fantastic guests including Miroslav Volf, Monica Guzman, James Ijames, Alexandra Reeve-Givens and Rainn Wilson. Using questions from the book Life Worth Living, Kelly created a game-show format and put each of her guests in the hot-seat - resulting in some very honest, thought-provoking and funny responses. Today’s episode features deep truths from the creator of Broadway’s brilliant smash hit Fat Ham, playwright James Ijames. Special thanks to the Aspen Ideas Festival, Tricia Johnson and Kara Stein. This event was recorded in June 2023, prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike.
