Revelizations
Revelizations is a podcast where I sit down with interesting people about interesting topics and have interesting conversations. Sound interesting? The topics will be eclectic, big and small such as finding joy, different philosophies about the origins of the universe, for profit prisons, math why it’s cool and how it helps unlock the mysteries of the universe, different models of educating a population, how to have difficult conversations whether you are offering consolation or having a conversation to establish good faith, artificial intelligence, the effects of social media on culture, nutrition, cognitive biases in decision making, and so much more. The only limiting factor is our own curiosity. Oh, and occasionally I will have episodes where I offer my own insight, Revelizations, about truths that I have found to be profound and worth sharing. Thanks for joining me and I look forward to our journey to understanding the world around us just a little bit better.

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
