How much is too much?

In this episode, I chat with Chuck Collins, author of Burned by Billionaires: How Concentrated Weatlh and Power are Ruining Our Lives to unpack one of the defining tensions of modern life: the growing concentration of wealth and power in fewer and fewer hands.

The growth and protection of the monumental fortunes of the billionaire class has become a booming industry in many western countries today. This enormous wealth concentration has outsized and disastrous environmental and social impacts to the rest of society, and sometimes in ways that many of us would never recognize. In this episode, Chuck explores how wealth inequality quietly shapes nearly every aspect of of our lives, eroding affordability, access, and even freedom.

This conversation goes beyond economics. We examine the myths of meritocracy, the emotional and cultural impacts of inequality, and the urgent question of what kind of future we are creating.

Thoughtful, challenging, and ultimately hopeful, this episode asks whether a more balanced and humane society is still possible and what it might take to get there.

What does it mean to live in a body that tells a different story than the one people see?

In this episode, I sit down with Lindsay Ireland, author of Why Not Me?, to explore the complex and often misunderstood world of invisible illness.

From the outside, everything can appear normal: careers, relationships, routines. But beneath the surface, millions of people are navigating chronic illness, pain, fatigue, and uncertainty that rarely gets acknowledged, and even more rarely believed.

Lindsay shares her personal journey with honesty and clarity, unpacking the emotional toll of not being seen, the quiet negotiations of daily life, and the courage it takes to keep showing up in a world that often expects proof of suffering.

We explore the tension between resilience and exhaustion, identity and limitation, and what it means to advocate for yourself when your experience doesn’t fit the narrative people expect.

This is a conversation that challenges how we define health, strength, and what it really means to be “okay.” It is a powerful reminder that not all struggles are visible.

What does it really take to step onto the first tee? Golf is often seen as a game of discipline and integrity, but it's also a game of privilege.

In this episode of What’s What with Heather Harris, we look at golf not just as a sport but as a medium for growth and self-actualization.

Isaac Sekulima, founder of Isaac Styles Golf in Uganda, is an inspiration. His work is opening doors for young athletes in communities where access to sport is anything but guaranteed. He shares his vision for the youth in his community and beyond, and exposes the challenges he faces while bringing his dream alive for the children of Uganda.

Together, we explore the hidden inequities shaping who gets to participate, compete, and thrive in sport. Because while sport is often celebrated as the great equalizer, the reality tells a different story: one shaped by geography, infrastructure, funding, and opportunity.

This conversation goes beyond the scoreboard. It’s about dignity, possibility, and what happens when we invest in human potential—everywhere.

From the role of sport in youth development to the question of who gets left out, this episode challenges us to rethink what fairness in sport really means and what it could look like if access was part of the game.

Because the future of sport isn’t just about excellence. It’s about who gets the chance to begin.
