Show Notes

Julie Walsh talks with Julia Harrell in her most freewheeling podcast conversation yet. They discuss some of the biggest challenges of our time – and then they dream about what a better world would look like. 

From democracy to education to the news media, Julie and Julia spend some time following Vaclev Havel’s advice: “[W]e must not be afraid of dreaming the seemingly impossible if we want the seemingly impossible to become a reality.”

Julia Harrell is an author, a freelance writer, and a stay-at-home mom to four young kids. Her book, How to Be a Hero: Train With the Saints, is a kid’s exploration of the power of the virtuous life. Julia is a former teacher who loves talking about schools, education, and especially literature and the Great Books. She lives outside Washington, DC with her family.
