CEO and Chief Creative Officer
I am a Studio Head. Director. Editor. Writer. Producer. Creator.
I have an unquenchable thirst for fresh, original stories and the people behind them. The crunching sound of a boot on the hard dirt. A single tear from an unexpected revelation. The twang of laughter from a busy diner. I transport millions of people to places they've never been, forging friendships with those who were once strangers. Our world is moving faster than ever. If we do not tell these stories, they are bound to be lost forever.
This is my story. This is our story.

BABY
About
How do you know you're lost if you don’t even know you're missing?
The remarkable story of Melissa Highsmith being found 51 years after being kidnapped as a baby made global headlines, but the shocking details of what actually happened to her and the family that never stopped looking for her has never been fully told – until now.
LAIKA presents MADE BY HUMANS
About
What does it take to make something magical? Artists from award-winning animation studio LAIKA are paired with fellow expert creatives to create a genuine dialogue about filmmaking, practical effects, the grind, and the inspiration behind making magic. Together, we explore what drives them, how they push through the hard days, and what their work reveals when held up next to each other.
Join us as we discuss craftsmanship, inspiration, and mythic wonder that bring our most iconic worlds to life, from Coraline and LAIKA’s upcoming film Wildwood to Jurassic Park, Project Hail Mary, your favorite TikTok videos and so many more.
Cruel Summer: The Violent Death of Tiffany Valiante
About
When the body of 18-year-old Tiffany Valiante was found on railroad tracks deep in the New Jersey Pine Barrens in the summer of 2015, it was all too easy for police to label her death a suicide. More than a decade later, journalist Marie McGovern takes you inside a remarkable four-year investigation into the terrible tragedy that became a frightening mystery.
From Writer to Fighter
About
Josh Corey is a comedy writer with a serious obsession: boxing. At age 37, with his wedding fast approaching, Josh gives himself six months to transform from writer… to fighter. What begins as a fun challenge leads to vulnerable conversations about identity, anger, love, and loss.
Watching You
About
Nique Leili, a mother of three, went missing in July 2011. After a week-long search led by her sister that drew national attention, she was found dead in nearby woods of her suburban Georgia home. The investigation revealed a disturbing truth – her husband, Matt, had been surveilling the family for years, hiding cameras throughout their home. The recordings exposed a twisted web of jealousy, lies, and control.
Futurology
About
The future never arrives all at once. It ripples through society long before we know what to call it.
At the Berggruen Institute, we know we need more than prediction—we need invention. Each week, Institute President Dawn Nakagawa introduces scientists and philosophers recalibrating our cosmologies, technologists coming to terms with alien intelligence, and policymakers designing systems for a world in flux.
Join thinkers and doers from the Berggruen‑verse as we imagine a future we can accomplish together, instead of one we’re working to prevent.
How It All Went South
About
Sean Kipe and Jason Hoch have been making podcasts together for a while now and decided to make ‘How It All Went South’ because they realized they had collected so many stories between them over the years.
What do Sean and Jason talk about on How It All Went South? How about renting a hitman (from a man named Guido), 1930s gangsters, runaway brides, lottery winners with totally bad luck, an eye drop killer, duck sauce killer, memory card killer, and unsolved cases. They talk about psychics, body builders, shootouts, trailer park massacres and SOOOO much more.
