Mitch Albom Plus One: Why Living Is Giving

About this episode

Mitch Albom discusses living a life of purpose and service with his childhood friend Marc Rosenthal and hosts Martin Luther King III and others.

Mitch Albom had everything he thought he wanted — a Hall of Fame career as a sports journalist, fame, success, and all the ambition to match. Then came  Tuesdays with Morrie , which gave him so much more than the best-selling memoir of all time — it gave him the roadmap to living a life with no regrets.  In this conversation with hosts Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Marc Kielburger, and Craig Kielburger, Mitch is joined by his plus one — Marc "Rosey" Rosenthal, his oldest friend since childhood and the man who has kept him grounded through all of it. Together they explore what it truly means to live a life of purpose, service, and second chances.  Together, they reveal how:  Don't buy the culture — bigger, richer, and more famous isn't better  The best friendships are built on being useless to each other  Forgive everybody, everything — even if you're 100% right  Giving is the only thing that separates fulfillment from happiness  It's never too late for a second chance  Don't miss an episode; subscribe now to catch new episodes every Tuesday.
