Meet Brian Czapco, co-founder of Forward Ketamine. He comes to us with over thirty years of experience in emergency psychiatric and critical care medicine.

We discuss the status of mental healthcare in America, emerging research in psychedelic therapy, and the potential to treat anxiety and depression through a combination of therapy and clinical intervention. Is ketamine safe? What does it do? How can it help? All your answers are in the episode!

From sleeping in a hallway in an LA artist commune to writing songs for major artists and competing on NBC's Songland, Madison native JT Roach has built a career by going for it and betting on himself.

In this episode, JT takes us behind the scenes of the songwriting world—from the moment he realized he had to leave Chicago and chase music in LA, to working with artists before they became household names. He also opens up about his Songland experience pitching an original song to OneRepublic, the creative process behind writing for major pop and K-pop artists, and what it's really like working alongside some of the biggest names in music.

This conversation also goes well beyond music. JT shares how his family shaped his creativity, how he met his wife, what fame looks like from inside the industry, and why fear can actually be a sign that you're pursuing something worth doing.

A funny, candid and inspiring conversation about creativity, taking risks, pursuing your dream, and remembering what keeps you grounded along the way.

What happens when AI, biohacking, peptides, and human performance collide? In this episode, we sit down with entrepreneur and longevity enthusiast Tony Medrano to explore the rapidly evolving world of personalized health.

Tony shares his journey from tech entrepreneurship and multiple company exits to working with the NFL and developing Longevity Plan, an AI-powered platform designed to help people better understand their health data and personalize peptide protocols.

The conversation dives into Tony's own experience with peptides, the concept of a "digital twin," genetic testing, the potential—and limitations—of peptide therapy, and why better scientific research and safety data are desperately needed.

Tony also shares his incredible goal of completing his fourth Ironman at age 55, giving the episode a fascinating look at what it means to use technology, training, and biohacking to push the boundaries of human performance.

From AI-driven health optimization to the future of peptides, this episode explores where medicine, technology, and longevity may be headed next.

In our final episode of season 2 we flipped the script. We googled... each other.

Turns out even your closest friends can surprise you. From Liz's real estate to Chelsea's arc from farm kid to design director - we chat life, loss, love and dreams! If you've ever wanted to learn more about who's behind the mic every week, this is the episode for you! Thanks for riding with us as this season took us to Madison, Brazil, Guatemala, Chicago and SF - and we're just getting started

We originally met Fay Johnson at one of her famous parties. Then we learned about her resume: Co-Director of the Human Rights Caucus. Policy advisor at Oxfam. Behavioral science work in rural Kenya and children's hospitals. Product lead at Meta, X, LinkedIn, etc. Oh, and she once ran a TSA-approved airport at Burning Man.

We sit down with Amy Jackson. She talks about turning 40 and completely flipping the script. After a decade at SAP, Amy Jackson went out on her own and founded TaleSplash, a PR agency that helps emerging founders get in front of the right journalists at exactly the right moment. She's landed clients in Forbes, Wired, and TechCrunch and she'll tell you the secret isn't just the pitch, it's building real relationships.

After an unexpected pivot abruptly ended his storied career as a fighter pilot, he headed to a conflict zone to found a company that grew to 200M+ in revenue within a few years. He's now an author and consultant for some of the world's biggest brands - ahem - Google. He talks about what he learned from his grandmother and hero: "just get on with it," how most people overcomplicate life and why us ADHD-ers are meant to run the world.

Talk about range! Some people pick a lane - Jenna has already picked several. She started out in military intelligence. She then put everything (and we mean everything!) on the line to become a professional barrel racer. She talks about what it really means to go-for-broke, lose it all, and rebuild stronger from the ground up. Now she's a real estate investor and author committed to helping uplift others. Giddy up!

Abigail Wuest is a lawyer, former government official and CEO of Goods Unite US, an app that tracks corporate political donations. She talks about what we can do to influence the decisions made in our country, how to vote with our purchases and what running for political office is like behind the scenes (hint: terrible!).

Today's guest is Peter Gray - executive recruiter based in Madison, Wisconsin, and someone who has spent his career sitting at the intersection of ambition, reinvention, and what companies think they want versus what they actually need. We're getting into all of it today: how hiring really works, what makes leaders worth following, the pivots that actually land, and what he's seen go sideways. If you've ever wondered what a recruiter thinks of you, this is the episode.
