July 2026 Update

Five years ago, I wrote an article for First Round Capital about securing 100 podcast interviews for Levels' founders in six months, the majority of them for Dr. Casey Means.

While Casey's rise eventually became very public, I had run a similar playbook in 2019 for another a16z-backed startup led by a doctor and neuroscientist.

To give you a sense of how early the podcast space still was back then: that same year, Andrew Huberman invited me to visit his lab at Stanford. At the time, he was, to me, a "random neuroscientist" with no podcast or social media presence. (I got busy and never made it to the lab 🥲)

In the years since, podcasts have emerged as one of the most powerful forces shaping culture. Huberman is now one of the world's most recognizable scientists. Casey went from no online presence to #1 NYT bestselling author and U.S. Surgeon General nominee. Even my first boss out of college, Andrew Yang, went from completely unknown to a nationally recognized presidential candidate, due in large part to a few key podcast appearances (his words).

This work has been a consistent thread throughout my career. And over the last year, I've made it my full-time focus: partnering with world-class experts – and often the companies behind their work – to develop their narratives and bring their ideas to the biggest platforms in the world.

My clients are founders, scientists, authors, and other thought leaders doing genuinely novel and consequential work, with a focus on health and human potential.

Longer term, I'm interested in building a new kind of talent studio - one that connects frontier thinkers in academia and beyond with the worlds of new media and entrepreneurship. The vision is to build a pipeline for identifying brilliant people doing important work and helping bring their ideas to market faster.
