Encouraging Compassion
& Confidence with Morgan Neville
In Episode 03, Mallory and Academy Award-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville discuss compassion, confidence, and, of course, Mr. Rogers. Morgan’s 2018 documentary Won’t You Be My Neighbor? looks back at the groundbreaking television show and how its creator’s ideas about childhood shaped generations of kids. Morgan describes how Mr. Rogers’ messages about love, feelings, community, and self-worth directly influence how he raises his two children—from helping them navigate changing social landscapes at school to the ways his family transitions from summer break to a new school year.
