    I've always admired how secure Stedman is with himself! Oprah found that "needle in a haystack" when she found him. Love them both!

      They both seem to be really smart people. They both seem to fit each other well. To be with such a powerful woman, Stedman seems to have that same energy to be able to combine with such a powerful lady. He's very educated just like Oprah. ❤️

      So true. What a class act too. Interesting he wrote about Identity leadership. At first I thought it would he about ego, but it was about self-actualization and he doesn't seem to he egoic at all. On the contrary, he comes across as self confident and humble. I'm impressed.

      True. I lot of men couldn't have a successful relationship with a woman of Oprah's caliber. They would feel like she's threatening their masculinity. So "let's" means to me she doesn't have to worry about her partner's identity and is able to focus on her on light while loving her partner for who he is. Steadman is a rare find.

    Imagine the conversations Stedman and Oprah have at home. This is what happens when two geniuses meet.

    Can u imagine if they would have procreated? Genius plus genius equals baby genius. Oh well. Love Oprah and stedman.

    Stedman Graham is amazing! His support of Oprah through her development of the OWN Network, when many called it a failure, shows the depth of love he has for her. Can we just clone him??

    I think it’s beautiful to see Ellen’s support to Stedman success! Also, I find it interesting to hear him describing Oprah like that, it made me understand the nature of their bond. I think he is a supportive, balancing and calming figure in her life and a a big part of her success (even though she doesn’t mention him much).
    Beautiful insightful interview! Thank you
