The Up Side of Down and Daughters in Danger

Kathryn interviews Bloomberg columnist and blogger Megan McArdle, author of “The Up Side of Down: Why Failing is the Key to Success”. One of the most popular business and economics bloggers for more than a decade, McArdle makes the case that success - in business and in life - is largely contingent on how quickly and nimbly we learn from our mistakes. She appears regularly on MSNBC, Fox News, and NPR. Kathryn also interviews family and youth advocate Elayne Bennett, author of “Daughters in Danger: Helping Our Girls Thrive in Today’s Culture”. According to the Centers for Disease Control 22% of girls ages 11 to 17 in the U.S. experience some form of partner violence, putting them at higher risk of depression, poor school performance, and self-harm. Daughters in Danger awakens parents and community leaders to the threats facing girls today. Bennett is the founder and president of Best Friends Foundation and wife of former U.S. Secretary of Education William J. Bennett.
