Melinda French Gates spent over two decades helping lead the world's largest private foundation, saving millions of lives across the globe. Now, with a $12.5 billion commitment and her own organization, Pivotal Ventures, she's bringing the fight home, championing women's health, women's power, and the rights that too many are losing too fast. 

In this powerful conversation with hosts Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Marc Kielburger, and Craig Kielburger, Melinda opens up about navigating life's biggest transitions, the lessons her parents gave her that she still lives by, and what it means to rebuild a life of purpose. 

Together, they explore how: 
Set your own agenda or someone else will 
A meaningful life is measured by love and service, not wealth 
Perfectionism quietly steals the joy from your own achievements 
When anxiety strikes, lean forward — not back 
AI is only as good as the diversity of the people building it
