Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard5 Nov 2025

Malala Yousafzai (education activist)

Malala Yousafzai (Finding My Way, I Am Malala, He Named Me Malala) is an education activist, Nobel Prize laureate, and author. Malala joins the Armchair Expert to discuss having a relatively normal life until a militant organization took over her valley in Pakistan, becoming an activist simply to respond to her new oppressive reality, and how lucky she was to have a male ally in her father. Malala and Dax talk about feeling like a fish out of water in a new school after her attack, winning the Nobel Peace Prize at 17 years old, and not being a good student at Oxford because she was more interested in a social life. Malala explains the go-cart meet cute with her now-husband, why girls’ education is the solution to so many world problems including climate change, and coming to the understanding that true bravery is when you go through lows and still stand up for what you believe in.
