Leigh McCloskey: Art as the Language of Creation | Talks 21
Aug 20, 20261h 8mS2
What if art is not just a form of expression, but the language through which we create our world? Artist Leigh McCloskey walked away from Hollywood to explore that question, and has spent more than forty years doing it. You may know him as Mitch Cooper from Dallas. But Leigh has spent years hand-painting the inside of his own home in Malibu in California (US) – the floor, the walls, the ceiling, even the books – turning it into a single immersive artwork he calls The Hieroglyph of the Human Soul. We recorded this entire conversation inside that room. He is also the creator of Tarot ReVisioned, seventeen-year exploration of the archetypes and symbolic structures of the tarot. For Leigh, art is not something we do for a living. It is the language we use to create who we are. In this episode, we discuss: Why art and science were once different tools for exploring the same questions, and what we lost when they drifted apart. Leigh's belief that we are not here to arrive somewhere, but to unfold and grow – and why the moments when we feel most stuck may be exactly when something new opens. How art can move and even heal us – not by explaining anything, but by letting us truly feel something. If you would like to learn more about Leigh's work, you can find it at leighmccloskey.com.

Can the room you're in right now be quietly changing your brain? An architect, a circadian rhythm expert, and a neuroscientist suggests that it can. I sit down with three special guests who look at that question from different angles: ️ Kristine Mun is a Los Angeles-based architect, researcher, and educator whose work bridges architecture, neuroscience, and computational design. She serves on the executive committee of the Academy of Neuroscience for Architecture. ️ Satchin Panda is a circadian rhythm expert whose research has helped advance our understanding of time-restricted eating and how the timing of food, light, and sleep influences health. ️ Thomas Albright is a neuroscientist at the Salk Institute, a world-renowned research institution in La Jolla, California. His research focuses on visual perception, and he has applied his findings to fields ranging from architecture to forensic science. In this episode, we discuss: Why a hospital window can influence how quickly a patient recovers. How changing the wall patterns in a Baltimore classroom affected students' stress and test results. Why darkness at night is often overlooked in modern architecture. What changed for patients and doctors at psychiatric hospital and a cardiac unit in Prague once they synced indoor lighting to the natural day-night cycle. Why, according to Kristine, architecture has spent decades designing for comfort instead of health, and what that has cost us in terms of community and connection.

Ross McKenzie: Healing Beyond a Bipolar Diagnosis | Talks 21
Jul 9, 202652 minS1
What if a bipolar diagnosis is not the end of the story, but the beginning? Filmmaker Ross McKenzie spent more than twenty years finding out. In this episode of Talks 21, I sit down with Ross McKenzie, a Canadian filmmaker and co-creator of the documentary Bipolarized. More than thirty years ago, at the age of twenty-one, Ross experienced what he describes as a spiritual emergency. This led to hospitalisation, a bipolar diagnosis, and eighteen years on lithium – and ultimately to a twenty-year journey to understand what had really happened to him. Today, he works as a life coach, helping others look beyond their symptoms to uncover their root causes. In this episode, we discuss: 🔹 What Ross calls becoming "the CEO of your own healthcare," and why this path requires patience, support, and guidance from people with real expertise. 🔹 The role of medication, why it can be essential in stabilising extreme states, but why, in Ross's view, it is only part of the answer. 🔹 Resilience, shadow work, and why the hardest moments in life may carry more meaning than we initially realise. 🔗 If you would like to learn more about Ross's work and his documentary Bipolarized, you can find them at rossmckenzie.com.

The Future of Food Starts in Your Shopping Cart I Talks 21
Jun 18, 20261h 25mS2
How can we grow our food in a world shaped by climate change, and what can nature teach us about resilience? In this episode of Talks 21, I sit down with three guests who each bring a different perspective: Calla Rose Ostrander – co-founder of Terra Regenerative Capital, who has spent over a decade helping farmers, investors, and governments advance regenerative agriculture; Henry Gordon-Smith – founder of Agritecture, a global consulting firm focused on climate-smart agriculture, who has led over 350 projects across 45+ countries and teaches at Columbia University in New York, one of the most prestigious universities in the US. Andrew Carter – a pioneer in controlled environment agriculture with over 20 years of experience, including co-founding Smallhold, one of the largest specialty mushroom producers in the US. In this episode, we discuss: 🔹 What regenerative agriculture means in practice and why it matters now. 🔹 How, according to Henry, restoring agriculture to cities could strengthen food security. 🔹 What the indigenous people of California understood about cultivating nature that we are only now rediscovering. 🔹 Why mushrooms are natural digesters and what their role is in restoring soil health. 🔹 Why Calla believes every food purchase is, in a sense, a quiet vote for the kind of world we want. 🔹 Why the future of farming lies in bringing nature and technology together. In a world where we constantly hear that human activity is putting pressure on the planet, this conversation offers something different: an optimistic yet grounded look at the future of our food and the planet that produces it.

Darin Olien: Why Modern Comfort Can Quietly Weaken Us | Talks 21
May 28, 20261h 2mS2
<p>How do modern conveniences and lifestyles shape our personal freedom and health? In this episode of Talks 21, I sit down with Darin Olien – producer of the documentary series A Road Map To Happiness, co-creator of the Netflix series Down to Earth with Zac Efron, systems thinker, and author of books focusing on superfoods, environmental health, and the hidden traps of modern life.<br/><br/>We start with a question that runs through the whole conversation: what does it really mean to be happy, and how much of it is in our own hands? According to Darin, happiness is less a...
Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
