Natalie Portman has captivated audiences since she was 12 years old — Oscar winner, Harvard graduate, global activist, co-founder of Angel City FC, and a woman who has never once followed anyone else's script. 

In this conversation with hosts Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Marc Kielburger, and Craig Kielburger, Natalie is joined by her plus one — Lawrence Yanovich, one of her oldest friends and the man who first took her to Uganda, Ecuador, and Guatemala to witness microfinance changing women's lives from the ground up. Together they explore what it means to use your platform, your resources, and your relationships to build a better world. 

Together, they reveal how: 
What you say no to defines you more than what you say yes to 
Uncertainty isn't the enemy of hope 
Great leaders get the right people in the room 
Rigid gender roles don't just limit women

Natalie Portman Plus One: Write Your Own Script

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
