As a motivational speaker, executive leader, and author, Steve Pemberton 鈥�89, H鈥�15, MA鈥�19, P鈥�23 draws on deeply personal life experiences to encourage people to overcome obstacles, strive for success, and create opportunities for others. Now he鈥檚 doing this work through a new medium: podcasting.

鈥淚 wanted to create a more immediate and intimate way of sharing my story,鈥� said Pemberton, whose The Pemberton Podcast expands on the themes of resilience, hopefulness, and gratitude he first explored through A Chance in the World, his 2012 best-selling memoir about growing up with a cruel foster family. 鈥淚t feels like I鈥檓 sitting across the table from the listener, having a conversation.鈥� For example, in one episode of the podcast, which launched over the summer, he recounts how finding connection and community at Boston College helped heal some wounds from his turbulent childhood.

Going forward, Pemberton plans to host guests with similarly evocative stories to 鈥渕ake the conversation richer.鈥� And after publishing The Lighthouse Effect: How Ordinary People Can Have an Extraordinary Impact in the World in 2021, he鈥檚 also working on his next book, The Anchor Principle, about 鈥渢he things that steady us in uncertain times,鈥� he said. 鈥淢y hope is always the same: that the stories I tell inspire others to reflect on their own lives and discover鈥攁nd rediscover鈥攖he anchors that keep them grounded.鈥� 鈼�
