Before Bill Burke founded The Optimism Institute and started hosting the podcast Blue Sky, he had a major career in entertainment business -- the first GM of Turner Classic Movies, former CEO of the Weather Channel, ghostwriter of Ted Turner's memoir, just to name a few. Now, as someone devoted to the cause of seeing the positivity in the world with clear eyes, he's brought a character who seems to do the same: Henry Fonda's "Juror #8" in the 1957 Sidney Lumet classic (like, it hardly gets more classic) 12 Angry Men.
Then, Jordan has one quick thing about a new book from past guest Anna Bogutskaya, Feeding the Monster.
