Student panelists Elijah, Amelie, and Alon join Larry for a special episode of In Good Company exploring the world of 2050. Together, they imagine the future of transportation, AI, robotics, jobs, privacy, cryptocurrency, and life in tomorrow’s cities. Along the way, they debate what might improve, what could become more dangerous, and what they hope their generation will build next.

Student hosts Elijah and Nikaia speak with pianist and teacher Daniele Zanghi about his musical journey, the discipline behind growth, and what it takes to develop as a performer. In a conversation held mostly in Italian, Daniele reflects on study, practice, performance, teaching, and the deeper meaning of music after years at the piano. He shares why small goals matter, how musicians learn through experience, and why music becomes much more than technique—it becomes a language. An English translation transcript is included with this episode.

Student host Ellie sits down with Erinn McNeill, a longtime TV and entertainment producer who has worked with CBS News, Dan Rather, and Oprah Winfrey, to explore what it really takes to bring stories to life. From producing interviews with celebrities to tackling serious topics like addiction and mental health, Erinn shares how curiosity, empathy, and adaptability have shaped her 25-year career.

They discuss how the media industry has evolved from physical tapes to today’s fast-moving digital world, and how technology has transformed the way stories are created and shared. Erinn reflects on the importance of finding meaningful voices, building strong relationships, and staying organized in a fast-paced environment.

She also shares practical advice for young people interested in media and storytelling, including the value of internships, saying yes to opportunities, and building connections early.

A thoughtful conversation about storytelling, human connection, and building a career by staying curious, working hard, and treating people well along the way.
