A diagnosis, a treatment, a story, a felt experience: four accounts of the same mind, and they don't fully agree. Help us find out why. The Canopy is a series of unhurried, one-on-one conversations about how differently mental health gets described depending on who's doing the describing: the scientist, the doctor, the culture, the person living it. Guests are scientists, physicians, and historians who've spent real time close to the problem, and each conversation follows the open questions wherever they lead, in pursuit of truths none of those four accounts reach alone. Hosted by Jacob Hooker, a scientist who spent seventeen years studying the chemistry of the brain at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital before co-founding Sensorium Therapeutics, where he now develops psychiatric medicines drawn from nature's own chemistry. Understanding on its own was never quite enough for him; The Canopy is where that same search keeps going, out loud, with people who take it as seriously as he does. New episodes regularly.

Trauma Is Everywhere: Under the Canopy with Kerry Ressler
Aug 10, 202658 minS0
<p>My guest on this edition of The Canopy is Dr. Kerry Ressler, chief scientific officer and James and Patricia Poitras Chair in Psychiatry at McLean Hospital, and professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. Kerry is a member of the National Academy of Medicine and one of the leading figures in understanding how fear, trauma, and PTSD are encoded in the brain—and what that science means for treatment.</p><p>What happens when you ask thousands of people about trauma instead of trying to fit them into a diagnostic box? Kerry found that nobody fit the DSM—everybody had...
When is it disease and when is it life? Under the Canopy with Anne Harrington
Jul 14, 202657 minS0
<p>My guest on this edition of The Canopy is Dr. Anne Harrington, Franklin L. Ford Professor of the History of Science at Harvard and author of Mind Fixers: Psychiatry’s Troubled Search for the Biology of Mental Illness. Anne has spent decades examining how we’ve understood the relationship between mind, brain, and mental illness.</p><p>Her work traces psychiatry’s recurring pivots. The field abandons one framework for another, convinced this time it has found the real source of mental suffering. What makes Anne’s perspective invaluable is her refusal to let any single story win. Mental illness...
The Molecular Architecture of the Mind: Under the Canopy with Bryan Roth
Jun 8, 20261h 3mS0
<p>My guest on this edition of The Canopy is Dr. Bryan Roth, Michael Hooker Distinguished Professor at UNC School of Medicine and member of the National Academy of Medicine. Bryan invented DREADDs—a breakthrough technology that lets scientists activate specific brain circuits on demand. Former NIMH Director Thomas Insel called it one of the most important breakthroughs for understanding the brain, and it’s now used by over a thousand labs worldwide.</p><p>Bryan’s path to neuroscience began with his mother’s schizophrenia and his sister’s experience with LSD—experiences that set a teenager on a lifelong que...
From chemicals to compassion: Jerry Rosenbaum under The Canopy
May 18, 202651 minS0
<p>On this first edition of The Canopy, my guest is Dr. Jerry Rosenbaum, former Chief of Psychiatry at Mass General Hospital and co-founder of Sensorium Therapeutics. Jerry has spent more than 40 years at the forefront of psychiatric care and research, witnessing firsthand the evolution of how we understand and treat mental illness.</p><p>Jerry’s journey began in the 1970s as what he calls a “rogue trainee”—one of the first to embrace psychopharmacology when giving patients “chemicals” was considered radical. From those controversial beginnings, he helped build what became a network of 50-60 specialized clinical and research programs at...
<p>Chili Peppers Make You Feel Heat — but don’t be fooled — it’s a Trick!</p><p>Ever watch the show Hot Ones on Youtube? I don’t think I could handle the heat of those wings even knowing that it’s all a trick of biology! The fiery compound in those hot sauces is capsaicin and it activates a “heat receptor” in your nervous system (TRPV1), even though no actual heat is present. That receptor evolved to detect dangerous temperatures — but plants hijacked the system. I learned from (you guessed it) wikipedia that birds’ version of TRPV1 does not respond to capsa...
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.
