GBBP 148: Felicia Day

This week, we’re thrilled to bring your our conversation with the one and only Felicia Day! Surely, Day needs no introduction.

On this episode, we chat about her new role (Cynder) on Netflix’s Skylanders Academy. Day is also a new mom, so we talk extensively about parenthood, the challenges of being a new parent, and the unique challenges she faces as an incredibly busy working mom in the public eye.

We talk about embracing our differences (which are our superpowers), helping our kids do the same, and how we can teach our kids to be good to one another and deal with bullying. We also ask her what games she’s planning to use to introduce her daughter to gaming, when the time finally comes.

IQ2US: The U.S. Health Care System Is Terminally Broken

This debate will be presented live at Transform, the annual conference of the Mayo Clinic Center for Innovation

The United States spends more on health care than any other nation, but the system remains woefully inefficient. Consumers are fed up with soaring costs and poor outcomes, insurers take issue with market instability, and providers lament rising barriers to quality care. And while government is forced to contend with enormous financial strain, employers fear that rising health care costs will impact wages and sap their competitive advantage. Have the structural shortcomings of America’s fragmented system put us on the road to total system failure? Do we need to design tomorrow’s health care on a clean slate, or can innovations to the existing health care framework jolt the system back to life?

IQ2US: Unresolved: Face-Off with China

Against the backdrop of North Korea's nuclear advances and escalating regional tensions, we ask: How should the U.S. respond to its most urgent national security threats?

In a wide-ranging evening of debate, General David Petraeus will join military historian Max Boot for a keynote conversation and broad look into the most pressing global challenges of the Trump era. Once the stage is set, four of the world's most prominent foreign policy voices will zero in on the most important strategic relationship of the twenty-first century: the United States and China. Staged with our new "Unresolved" debate format, these debaters will argue for or against a number of motions including: Is Donald Trump making China great again? Is China destined for regional dominance?  And can we strike a deal with Beijing to contain North Korea’s nuclear program?
