And let's be honest-- it's also for the glamour, the money, and the fame of it. Joan Ganz Cooney and Fred Rogers went into TV to do good, to basically make the world a better place-- like pure altruism, which is kind of amazing.But equally amazing is how well they executed their visions.
But then when his hometown, Pittsburgh, had WQED a new public TV station, he went there. Joan Ganz Cooney went from CBS to the precursor of today's Channel 13 in New York, WNDT, because they thought, OK, let's be real.Public TV is we're going to get our social mission stuff done.
Part of it's a learning curve. Joan Ganz Cooney was really good-- and this is a great leadership thing.She was really good at saying, you know what?
Carl Benz at 15 became an engineer. Joan of Arc at the age of 17 picked up her sword and banner, rode to the town of Orléans where she led the charge,stormed the gates, drove the English out of France, and put the death herself, even though her life was short, still Joan of Arc should be counted as an example amongst
Well even having a story told in the first-person was a pretty good-- Yeah, although I wasn't the first there by any means. Joan Vinge was writing brilliant first-person, Robin Hobb wrote brilliant first-person fantasy, too.And honestly, first-person is the most natural storytelling form.
and you don't want to have the kind of collateral damage. Joan Feigenbaum, we have some sort of theoretical crypto kind of people, people who do sort of bigger thinking, and a whole bunch of scrappy activists.
a ghostly pale pallor. Joan Baez said he looked like an underfed angel.He rare--, for the first time his solo shows felt formulaic as if he were singing the lines of someone else.
I always remember the movie "Suspicion." And "Suspicion", some you will know. Joan Fontaine is the wife, she's upstairs, an invalid in bed, awash in satin sheets.And she's sure that her husband is trying to kill her.
Jeff Garlin: Joan , Joan ? Joan : Yeah, that's Jeff Garlin: Okay.Joan : Yep. Jeff Garlin: Were you guys eating is that why you were late?
Joan : Yeah, that's Jeff Garlin: Okay.Joan : Yep. Jeff Garlin: Were you guys eating is that why you were late?male voice in audience: Yeah, a new caterer.
So that's kind of what we've done in the last couple of years. Joanne, you also have, I believe, a store in Chelsea Market. Correct? Yeah. We have four stores now.
That's really wonderful. So I understand a couple of years ago, Born This Way Foundation traveled with Lady Gaga's Joanne world tour. Can you tell us more about that opportunity and how you engage with fans and the communities along the way? Absolutely. I'll just give you a little history.
So let's get into this. Joanne, I think your book-- and I'd strongly urge you to read it. It's filled with a tremendous amount of information, examples, and data about the environment we're in.
Without further ado, I'm going to bring Joanna and Amy up to the stage. Joanna is going to dig into some of the key learnings from her recent book before being joined by Amy for a fireside chat. I just ask that you make sure you're sitting next to someone, as there is an activity that will take place during Joanna's talk, and it's important
So it's an honor to have you back, and thank you for coming off of a trip from Dubai. Joanna has been traveling around the world, talking about this book, and obviously, centered leadership. And you mentioned that your first book, "How Remarkable Women Lead," was focused on what you would call the "more experienced" work set.
There are 99 counties in that state. Joanna, you asked a question about how Google could help, right?
It is the child in the classroom, or in life, who is going to tenaciously stick with something until they've accomplished it. JoAnn Deak, who is a fabulous brain researcher, says "an overloaded brain does not grow well."
And how were they thinking about television and about education and all of these things? Well Joan and Lloyd's timing was really good, because the '60s were a time of activist government and big government. Like first, there was JFK.
The war on poverty, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, the Public Broadcasting Act-- basically, a lot of government money was suddenly being allotted to the very things that Joan Ganz Cooney and Lloyd Morrisett were interested in doing. Yeah. And at that time, how were Cooney and Morrisett thinking about their goals in creating this show, specifically with trade offs around funding
And how did the bravery of some of the plot lines like this really set the tone for "Sesame Street" to be a different kind of children's show? Well Joan Ganz Cooney always called it an experiment. It wasn't launched with the notion of, this is going to be a long-running sitcom like Friends or Seinfeld.
But then two seasons in, a bunch of Hispanic organizations got together and not gently, kind of angrily, confronted Joan Ganz Cooney and said, where the hell are we? You're supposed to-- you're trying to do representative TV and you're trying to show a world that looks more like America.
We might go on tour in the summer if it's possible for bands to tour in a safe way. And Joan Jett, that's why she started playing was because of Suzi Quatro.
But what I could bring to the table was valued, and it was bigger than just being the best player on the team. So JoAn , I think in your world-- and you've been in a lot of large organizations-- USA basketball and Nike and the NCAA. How do you handle that in the professional setting in the world of sports of being able to establish your credibility very early on?
and Joan Burton. It was Photoshopped.
And Joan Rivers breaks a lot of these rules.
by Joan Williams, which is a great complement, I think, to this book because just taking us through some of the realities of class and structure.
And Joan Rivers was one of my first clients that came in and she said, Preston, listen, I would love to create this setting that is so incredible that it looks
about Joan whose son did this and started this company the next thing you know you've got an interview and it
So Joanna Stern, the legend, she did a video with this NEO robot, also this week, where the company showed her all the things that it could do.
So there's now this extra spice to it. And Joanne, what about you? You said it was your father-in-law who had Pearl River, right?
It's filled with a tremendous amount of information, examples, and data about the environment we're in. And Joanne does an excellent job of illuminating those issues of unconscious bias, of how women feel in the workplace, of how they are often perceived in the workplace in ways that we know they should not be perceived.
As Joanna said, Steven Hoggett had this company Frantic Assembly.
So Joanne is an honors graduate of Harvard College with a degree in applied mathematics and economics.
checked Joanne and Big Mama must have at least one washing machine they drove and drove it took two
And Joanna looks at me and she says, "Your sister does not need a romantic weekend away with you. She needs a romantic weekend away with her husband.”
And Stone had become friendly with Jim Henson on a previous project. And so when Joan Ganz Cooney tapped John Stone, it's basically, run "Sesame Street." And I want to say, John Stone deserves a lot of credit, too. He's the guy who made "Sesame Street" the show itself.
We might go on tour in the summer if it's possible for bands to tour in a safe way. I will say Joan Jett & the Blackhearts did not exist as The Go-Go's were starting and as I was starting.
And then Joan , who really had to decide about treating a very rare type of acute leukemia in real time, as new information was coming out
Here's my stats. No, no, no, that's the wrong way to frame it. Talking to JoAn , JoAn worked for USA Basketball, worked for Nike. It's like, wow, she's part of an amazing team.
And then Joan here enameled it to get all the colors.
You mentioned Joan Ridges-- Rivers.
So now Joan , who is on a small island in the Philippines, is able to be the intersection point for her island
You had Joan Sommers in Kansas City.
There's this great Joan Didion quote, "I don't know what I'm thinking until I write it down." And I really identify with that.
channel your inner Joan Collins so uh the psychologist Dr Harriet Lerner in
So um in Joan 's case she was really alone like Phyllis Stiller was like 20 years older than her and so people like
What would Joan say about our new president?
I loved Joan of Arc and Henry Thoreau, two famous misfits, when I was younger, and my mother actually researched alien abduction while I was growing up.
As far as Joan Jett goes, in '96, after I'd left the movement, when I was going through that depression, I started a punk band because it was really the only thing
That's Joan Bybee, but I read her book "The Evolution of Grammar," which was my third big huge revelation for language that completely
