Honorary Doctorates and Commencement Address at Temple

At 46:34 · chapter starts 44:00

In a somewhat surreal section of the conversation, Domingo reveals he has received two honorary doctorates within a month — a Doctor of Arts from Swarthmore and one from his alma mater Temple, where he also delivered the commencement address. He admits the timing feels a little greedy. His Temple speech was built around a single organizing principle: love. Not inspiring ambition or career advice, but love and service — the idea that if young people do whatever they do with love, they will be enough. He reflects that young people right now particularly need to hear this, given the anxiety of the current moment, and he wants to ignite their imaginations about jobs that don't even have names yet.
