CNBC Changemakers and Power Players

CNBC’s Julia Boorstin speaks with Laura Modi, CEO and co-founder of Bobbie. After struggling to find a better way to feed her baby, Modi left her job at Airbnb to take on one of the biggest duopolies in baby formula — Similac and Enfamil. She shares how she built Bobbie into the fastest-growing infant formula brand since the 1980s, reaching $100 million in revenue within 18 months of launch. Modi opens up about breaking taboos around motherhood, challenging outdated policies through her advocacy arm “Bobbie for Change,” and balancing the chaos of running a business while raising four kids. She also reflects on lessons from Airbnb, her nightly “personal and professional check-ins,” and why she believes courage — not perfection — is what drives lasting change.

CNBC's Julia Boorstin speaks with Arianna Huffington, Founder and CEO of Thrive Global. After collapsing from burnout in 2007 while running the Huffington Post, Huffington made it her mission to end the toxic work habits that nearly killed her. She discusses her "microsteps" philosophy for building healthier habits, why she sees AI as a "GPS for the soul," and her partnerships with companies like OpenAI to create personalized health coaches. She also pushes back on Silicon Valley's longevity obsession, arguing we should focus on improving our days rather than trying to live forever. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
