(01) About Danielle

I read today's news the way I taught history: find the pattern, then ask who benefits.

Danielle Griffiths

Visalia, California · most mornings start with the archive

Danielle Griffiths spent years in front of high school history classes, where the best questions came from the kids who had not yet learned to be embarrassed by them. She still answers those questions, now for a much bigger room.

Every week on The Missing Peace she and mindset coach Brooke Benevento take one question and pull it in two directions, hers from the record and Brooke's from the coaching chair. In November 2026 she takes the counterpoint seat on The Digital Social Hour, filmed in Las Vegas.
