I'm curious what Geoff's relationship to this project is. Does he know about it? Is he contributing? Is he in favor of this? Opposed?

I asked him if he'd come on to be interviewed as part of it, and he said he'd be interested. I believe he is not opposed to me doing the episode.

Hi all! I'm creating a deep dive podcast episode about (the original) Leverage Research (for my podcast, Clearer Thinking). If you worked at (or currently work at) Leverage, or you have had experiences connected to Leverage, and you would like to either potentially:

(1) do an interview for the podcast

(2) talk to me totally off the record about your experiences (i.e., with your privacy totally protected)

Please reach out privately by using my contact form here. Or you can email our podcast (but multiple team members who work on the podcast will see it) here:

I have known many people involved in Leverage over the years (from its founding to the present day), and so I have heard a great deal of information about it from others. But I've never been a member of it, and there are still many things I don't know about it. 

The podcast episode aims to provide a deep exploration (that's as unbiased as we can achieve) into (i) what Leverage was, (ii) what sorts of activities, occurrences, findings, and developments happened there, and (iii) why it ended up falling apart.

Note that Leverage still exists in a modified form, but the focus of the podcast will be on "Leverage 1.0."

Note also that while there are some interviews that I will be able to conduct right away, I will have to wait a while before conducting others (if yours falls into that camp, I will let you know).

Of course, I won't necessarily end up interviewing everyone who reaches out, but I'd be interested to hear from you regardless.
