Please RSVP to get the Zoom link emailed to you.

UHeights is hosting a Zoom meeting in order to continue our Thursdays at 10 meetings via video chat! Conversations will be meeting on the second Thursday of the month. Join us! 

Guest speaker for April:

We are excited to welcome author and journalist, Neal Thompson to Conversations this month!

Neal is the author of The First Kennedys: The Humble Roots of an American Dynasty (2022); Kickflip Boys: A Memoir of Freedom, Rebellion, and the Chaos of Fatherhood (2018); and four other works of biography and narrative nonfiction. A former newspaper reporter, Neal has written for the New York Times, the Washington Post, Esquire, Outside, Men’s Health, Vanity Fair, the Wall Street Journal, Backpacker, Sports Illustrated and more. He has taught creative non-fiction at the University of North Carolina’s Great Smokies Writing Program, and Hugo House, and served on the board of Seattle Arts & Lectures. 

Neal is a runner, reader, skier, stand-up paddleboarder, swimmer, yogi, and a naturalized Irish citizen. Originally from New Jersey, he now lives in Seattle with his family. As a journalist and author, Neal has mostly written about flawed and adventurous men – athletes and explorers, astronauts and bootleggers, warriors and risk-takers, skateboarders and their fathers. His goal has been to tell inspiring stories about making it in America, stories about time and place that capture the aspirations and warts-and-all imperfections of those trying to live big lives, especially those who overcome hurdles, hardships, setbacks. Neal thinks that "hero" is an overused word, and prefers the term "striver."
