Driven Minds: A Type 7 Podcast presented by Gillian Sagansky

Our guest this week is Sophia Roe, the highly-regarded cook, writer and Emmy-nominated TV host, known for her distinct lens on honesty, diversity and inclusivity. Her passion for food has always been connected to a visceral understanding of what it means to be hungry and lack access to nutrition. Sophia and Gigi dig into her story, touching on trauma, health scares, why she’s a “cook, not a chef”, and what fun means in your thirties.

Today we’re expanding our minds with Rick Doblin, a man who has been on a 40-year journey to bring therapeutic psychedelics into modern medicine.

We are living in what has been termed the 'psychedelic renaissance', an extraordinary moment where medical research is dropping long-held prejudices around psychedelics that stemmed from the war on drugs in the 1960s.

Rick has been at the epicentre of this shift, and shares anecdotes ranging from hilarious college experiences to enlightening reflections on the nature of democracy.

Golden Landis Von Jones - AKA 24kGoldn - is a hip-hop and R&B artist who has racked up over a billion plays on Spotify all before celebrating his 21st birthday. His remarkable success comes down to what he describes as ‘delusional confidence’ and cracking the SoundCloud game back in high school. But, in achieving wild success, Golden has had to confront an entirely new landscape, which includes uncomfortable feelings of imposter syndrome and anxiety, and what's next in the pipeline.

This week we talk to the iconic techno musician Richie Hawtin, who never plans his live performances. He crafted his dark, rhythmic tracks in the early days of Detroit’s techno scene and today collaborates with artists and designers, such as Anish Kapoor and Raf Simmons. His journey to mastering his craft required him to confront his shy, introverted nature, find routines to stave off nerves that could derail his performances, and nurture his energy flow.
