In this episode, Alexa breaks down the real story behind that transformation. The fear, the firing, the years of scraping by, budgeting groceries on $50 a week, and the moment she realised her “safe” career was slowly killing her soul.
Before the brand deals, before the viral videos, before Hulu’s Secret Chef, Alexa was a journalist making less than a McDonald’s manager, questioning everything she’d worked for. What followed was not a clean pivot, but years of freelancing, rejection, anxiety, and doing it scared until one bet finally worked.

Chuck Nice is a stand-up comedian, longtime StarTalk co-host and one of the sharpest minds at the intersection of humour, science and culture. In this episode, he opens up about his week-long ayahuasca experience in Costa Rica, how it ended his depression, shifted his bipolar symptoms and forced him to confront the parts of himself he “absolutely abhorred”. We dive into ego death, the “beings between dimensions” he met, the cosmic perspective it gave him, and how the experience reshaped his views on faith, power, mental health and what it means to be human. This is one of the most honest and thought-provoking conversations we’ve ever recorded.

AI is transforming marketing faster than ever, but according to Rand Fishkin — founder of Moz and SparkToro — the real advantage now lies in being more human. In this conversation with Adam Metwally, Rand explains why imperfection, emotion, and originality are what make brands memorable in the age of automation. They unpack the “zero-click” era, why traffic is dead and brand is the new goal, and how authenticity and PR are quietly replacing SEO as the most powerful growth tools in modern marketing.
