After a suffering a miscarriage, the death of her father and her husband dying of a brain tumor all within six weeks, APB speaker Nora McInerny’s world turned upside down. Author and host of the Terrible, Thanks for Asking podcast, McInerny recently released her new book The Hot Young Widows Club: Lessons on Survival from the Front Lines of Grief (TED Books).  

Distinguished political-financial expert and APB speaker Nomi Prins is set to release the paperback version of her searing exposé on how the 2007-2008 financial crisis turbo-boosted the influence of central bankers and triggered a massive shift in the world order. Prins is an independent journalist, author of seven books, and a captivating speaker on such topics as politics, finance and the economy.

A reluctant grief expert and “notable widow” (her words), APB speaker Nora McInerny miscarried her second baby, lost her father to cancer and lost her husband, Aaron, to a brain tumor all within six weeks in 2014. In a recent TED Talk entitled “We Don’t 'Move On’ from Grief. We Move Forward with It,” she blends candor and humor as she shares valuable lessons she has learned about life and death.

As speculation about the content of the Mueller Report hit the Sunday morning news shows, APB speakers from across the political spectrum weighed in. “We do not know what’s in the report,” wrote veteran journalist Dan Rather, “but already I can feel a sense of deflation and worry among some.” 

The National Women’s Hall of Fame recently announced its inductees for 2019! Every year, the organization recognizes the impressive achievements of inspiring women. Among these names were APB speakers Angela Davis and Nicole Malachowski, two passionate, sought-after female motivation and leadership speakers.

APB speaker and NASA scientific investigator Steven Squyres was featured in a National Geographic article on the Mars Rover and its groundbreaking mission. “I always felt that there were really two honorable ways for a mission like this to end. One is simply that we wear the vehicles out. The other is Mars just finally reaches out and kills them. To have the Opportunity go for 14-and-a-half years and then get taken out by one of the most ferocious Mars dust storms in decades—if that's the way it plays out, we can walk away with our heads held high," said Squyres.

On the heels of Michael Cohen’s stunning testimony before Congress, the news media continues to look to Watergate legend Carl Bernstein for insightful analysis and no-holds-barred commentary. In an attention-getting exchange on Anderson Cooper 360, CNN political analyst Bernstein countered a jaw-dropping statement from former Republican presidential candidate and Trump defender Rick Santorum.

March is Women's History Month, a time to honor and celebrate the triumphs of the trailblazing women who have paved the way for change and progress. APB continues to represent a number of speakers on women's issues, from award-winning actresses and activists to journalists, best-selling authors, entrepreneurs and innovative global leaders. Below, we have highlighted some of our most talked-about and requested female voices. Responsible for inspiring millions, these women continue to empower audiences worldwide:

They’re 60 million strong—a cohort larger than the Boomers or Millennials. Shaped by the Great Recession. The first digital-first generation. And they’ve only begun to flex their muscles as consumers, employees and customers. Generation Z (born between 1996-2011) already represents up to $143 billion in buying power. They’re like no generation before and notably different from Millennials (born 1980-1995). From fashion to social consciousness to the workplace, this lineup of speakers captures a powerful new generation, speaking about—and to—Generation Z.
