    Leading With Strengths: Why Financial Advice Is a Relationship, Not a Transaction
    Oct 22 2026
    In this conversation from Gallup’s “Leading With Strengths” interview series, Gallup CEO Jon Clifton talks with Penny Pennington, managing partner at Edward Jones, a firm serving 9 million families. Pennington makes the case that great financial advice begins with relationships and that a leader’s most important work is inspiring hope, including among the 55,000 employees who serve those families. She explains how listening and a commitment to continuous learning shape the way she leads, at a moment when the future feels uncertain to many.

  • The Power of Youth Service: How Service Shapes Career Readiness, Connection and Resilience

    The Power of Youth Service: How Service Shapes Career Readiness, Connection and Resilience
    Aug 13 2026
    New research from Gallup and The Allstate Foundation finds that service doesn't just help communities — it changes the young people who provide it.

    Stephanie Marken, a senior partner at Gallup, talks with Greg Weatherford II, Director of The Allstate Foundation and Social Impact, about the latest findings.

    Drawing on a survey of more than 3,000 young people aged 12 to 25, the research explores how service builds career readiness, community connection and resilience — and why the effects are strongest when young people lead the work themselves.

    Where Do the World’s Migrants Want to Go?
    Jun 25 2026
    Each year, Gallup asks people around the world if they would like to move to another country — and if so, which one. Of course, not everyone who seeks to migrate is able to do so. But what would it mean for populations and labor forces worldwide if everyone who sought to migrate moved to their desired country?

    Julie Ray, Gallup’s managing editor for world news, joins the podcast to discuss her latest analysis. Later, Justin Gest — professor of policy and government at George Mason University’s Schar School of Policy and Government — discusses the themes of his new book, Democratic Drain: Global Migration and the Struggle for Democracy.
