Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kate Mueller: Nature Can Hold All of Our Differences — On Coffins, the Camino, and Awe
Q: How did the coffin parties come about, and what did they reveal about people's relationship to death?
Coffin parties happened organically as the coffin drew curiosity and conversations; people would share intimate life experiences, use it as a space to discuss endings, relationships, and mortality, and it became a catalyst for meaningful dialogue beyond surface-level small talk.
Megan Hellerer: When Achievement Stops Working — Reorienting Around Curiosity
Q: And so I'm curious to ask you how you feel like that bubbled up in you as you were running this experiment of what not to do.
It started as a self-centered question about what I wanted, but it grew into recognizing a broader pattern: many people were miserable in search of a more aligned path, and there had to be a third way beyond leaning in or stepping out. This led to the discovery of Directional Living and a commitment to guiding others with curiosity rather than fixed destinations.
Esosa Osa: Who Tells Your Story Decides Your Future — On Disinformation, Narrative Power, and Work That's Good
Q: How did your work on voting rights lead you to the current focus on AI and disinformation?
Her experience with information systems' impact on elections showed how propaganda and repetition influence beliefs, guiding her to build Onyx Impact and Aisha to counter misinformation with a Black-centered AI lens.
Esosa Osa: Who Tells Your Story Decides Your Future — On Disinformation, Narrative Power, and Work That's Good
Q: What was the North Star for you leaving college early in your career?
Esosa describes perpetual curiosity, a drive to understand how markets and policies shape outcomes, and a pivot from finance to politics with a focus on voter turnout and rights.
David Neimanis: The Hour You Don’t Have to Earn
Q: How did your transition from music to vermouth come about, and what did you learn along the way?
The move was organic, driven by curiosity and a willingness to follow what felt meaningful. I learned to value autonomy, test ideas quickly, and design a business around a lifestyle rather than chasing rapid exits.
