Sarowitz describes leading For Us Bay Partners, a single-family office with payroll/HR, real estate, investments, film, and philanthropy through the Julian Grace Foundation, including projects like Stocker Street Creative in Baldwin Hills and support for unaccompanied immigrant minors and a Jewish-Muslim/Palestinian educational center in Akko. They discuss parenting values, curiosity across cultures, learning from failure, Sarowitz’s childhood abuse and reclaiming her story, travel and scuba diving goals, aging, gratitude, mental health “maintenance,” and Stanger’s goals at 80 and her book Trauma Is Your Superpower.
