Lessons from a Life of Listening with On Being creator & host Krista Tippett

Small Giants Academy invites you to an evening with Peabody Award-winning broadcaster, New York Times bestselling author Krista Tippett, the founder of On Being, a conversation that has become a touchstone for depth, moral imagination and meaning in a noisy world.

In conversation with Small Giants Academy co-founder and creative director Berry Liberman, Krista will reflect on the wisdom gathered from a life spent in dialogue with some of the world’s most luminous thinkers across spirituality, science, social healing and poetry.

In a time that can feel tender and tumultuous, how do we orient ourselves toward what is life-giving? Together, Krista and Berry will explore the human capacities that help us remain whole.

If you are longing for wisdom that steadies and an evening of nourishment, we would love you to join us.

This event sits alongside the Wisdom & Action 2026 Forum (5-7 May, Melbourne), where Krista will be speaking to the theme of Trust in the Age of AI.

Meet Krista Tippett:

Krista Tippett is a Peabody-award winning broadcaster, National Humanities Medalist, and New York Times bestselling author. She created the groundbreaking public radio show and podcast On Being , which pursues deep thinking, moral imagination, social creativity, and joy towards the renewal of inner life, outer life, and life together. It has won the highest honours in broadcast, Internet and podcasting, and been downloaded over 450 million times.

The On Being Project, which Krista founded in 2013, also engages “quiet conversations” to accompany the generative people and possibilities within this tender, tumultuous time to be alive. She received the National Humanities Medal at the White House in 2014 for "thoughtfully delving into the mysteries of human existence. On air and in print, Ms. Tippett avoids easy answers, embracing complexity and inviting people of every background to join her conversation about faith, ethics, and moral wisdom."

Krista grew up in a small town in Oklahoma, attended Brown University, worked as a young journalist and diplomat in Cold War Berlin, and later received a Master of Divinity from Yale. She is the author of three books, most recently Becoming Wise: An Inquiry into the Mystery and Art of Living.
