No talking points, no PR polish: just an honest conversation about what you're building, what you're fighting, and what you see coming. Topics span AI, geopolitics, human rights, emerging tech, and beyond.
Good Fit
Who We're Looking For
The same guests as the rest of the show: executives, innovators, advocates, and operators who are actually in the work. Topics shift episode to episode (AI, geopolitics, human rights, emerging tech, security, policy, and more). We want candid, unscripted perspective, not vendor pitches from the mic.
Senior leaders, founders, military (O-5+ or equivalent), advocates, policy voices, or other deep practitioners with real authority on what you want to discuss, not a talking-point bio
Willing to speak honestly about what you're building, fighting, or seeing next, not just conference talking points
Has navigated something real: budgets, boards, field work, operations, transitions, crises, the messy parts
No vendor pitches or product promotion from the mic
Available for a ~60-minute recording, usually remote (e.g. Zencastr). If you're in the Tampa Bay area, we can coordinate an in-studio session instead.
Not sure you fit the list but have something real to share? Reach out via the contact page.
