The commission was announced by YouTube’s Chief Business Officer, Robert Kyncl, at YouTube's annual digital upfront, Brandcast, in New York, recently.



As described by Robert on stage, the show’s star Priyanka will go on a personal journey to meet the world’s most successful and inspirational people—each time asking them for advice they feel can change the world.
From actors and politicians to religious leaders and environmentalists, Priyanka will speak with the people who will go down in history as having challenged the status quo.
