Robert Malley live in conversation at the Dreamland Theatre

<p>Robert Malley is a veteran U.S. Middle East peace negotiator, and, as I’ve come to learn, an inspired and devoted teacher. He has participated in multiple U.S.-brokered Israeli-Palestinian peace talks. He was on the team that negotiated the Iran nuclear inspection deal in 2015, and more recently served as U.S. Special Envoy to Iran. Under President Obama, he also served as the White House point person in the campaign against the Islamic State. Malley is now a Senior Fellow and lecturer at Yale University’s Jackson Institute for Global Affairs. There have been so many major developments in the Middle East since we had this conversation last August before a live audience at Nantucket’s Dreamland Theatre. But the stories and insights that Malley shared, are as timely and compelling as ever.</p>

Min Jin Lee: Time Is Our Teacher

<p>I’m always on the lookout for an inspiring graduation speech. Last weekend, at Yale College, I heard one that I can’t stop thinking about. Min Jin Lee, the Korean-American author of Pachinko, a Yale graduate who, as a student, had far more B’s than A’s, channeled the ancient Greeks, and her own struggles, including a terrifying battle with liver disease, to help us figure out how to “choose the important over the urgent.” Her speech was about an hour. I recommend listening to every minute of it <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/VT4B63yKtSo?si=Y4UGYB0mtL2cCX1L&t=1740" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">on the Yale youtube channel</a>. But for those of you who are pressed for time right now, I’m offering a couple of key excerpts. It’s not a Wavemaker Conversation. It’s an empowering conversation starter.</p>
