Richard Lui

Richard Lui’s 30-year career sits at the intersection of politics, journalism, technology, filmmaking, publishing, and finance. Currently he is news anchor for MSNBC and NBC News and formerly at CNN Worldwide. In 2007 he became the first Asian American male to anchor a daily national news broadcast in America.

Richard is a bestselling author of Enough About Me: The Unexpected Power of Selflessness (HarperCollins Zondervan), which covers the big ideas of our time -- from caregiving to racial equity -- and challenges dominant thinking about self-focus in a way that's healthy for productivity at work and home.

Richard is also the Director and Producer of two feature documentary films. His Academy Award® and GRAMMY® qualified directorial debut, Sky Blossom: Diaries of the Next Greatest Generation (2021), on children caring for military veteran parents and grandparents with disabilities, was the year’s most widely distributed documentary, with broadcasts on PBS and MSNBC, and won the prestigious Christopher Award. His second film, Hidden Wounds (2022), profiles three families at the intersection of mental health and caregiving.
