Kara Miller
Kara Miller is the host of It Turns Out, a podcast and YouTube show featuring leading researchers and authors, including Richard Reeves, Melissa Kearney, and Gary Marcus. The show was named an Apple “New and Noteworthy” podcast.
Her career has been built on asking good questions and making big ideas accessible. She previously hosted the nationally syndicated public radio program Innovation Hub, which won the Clarion Award for Best Radio Talk or Interview Program. Since 2021, she has written the “Big Idea” column for The Boston Globe and contributes frequently to The Boston Globe Magazine.
Conversations that make big ideas memorable
Kara is also the owner of Laurel Way Productions, which works with companies and universities on media and memorable live events. Clients have included MIT, Columbia, Khosla Ventures, and Harvard.
Her work connects directly to what people leaders care about most. She spends her time with the researchers and authors shaping how we think about work, the economy, and technology, and she knows how to turn their findings into conversations people remember. That lens makes her a natural fit for leaders working on culture, performance, and retention at the same time.
Kara has served on the advisory committee of The Lemelson Foundation since 2016 and has taught at Babson College and the University of Massachusetts.
