You Should Start a Podcast with Your Sib...

Higher Ground
About this episode

In a small shared bedroom in a rented house on Euclid Avenue in Chicago, Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson built a special sibling bond. In their first episode, the former First Lady and her best friend and big brother share stories about being there for each other throughout their lives, from first-crushes and fraught college years to landing at the White House and losing their mom. For six decades they’ve been each others’ most trusted counsel—and now, they want to be that counsel for you. 

Are you struggling with a family dilemma? Stuck in a rut you don’t know how to move through? Michelle and Craig are ready, armed with the values they learned from Marian and Fraser Robinson in that little house on the South Side. Write to Michelle and Craig to get their advice in response to questions about career, love, parenting and beyond. From the every day to the existential, Miche and Craig want to hear from you at imopod.com.
