A podcast by Manish Sainani
Reconnect
& Rethink
Reconnecting — with our neighbors, our community, our own minds.
A podcast where every guest becomes a star.
Thirty-minute conversations about whole-brain fitness: left, right, center — every neuron firing. A calm, connected, consciously aware life, enjoyed in the present.
Made for you
What brings you here?
Pick the one that feels like you — the page shapes itself around it.
A taste of what's coming — the live page generates itself around each visitor.
The idea
Connection is how brains are built.
Nine-month-old babies learned Mandarin from a living person — and nothing from a screen. Connection isn't a nice extra. It's how brains are built. This podcast is the audio expression of that: helping people reconnect — with each other, and with themselves.
Who are the ten humans in your life you'd most love to hear from?
Every guest answers it. Every answer widens the circle.
How it works
One conversation.
A wider circle.
- A thirty-minute conversation, at your convenience — in Kirkland, Washington, or remote.
- We talk about your work, and what reconnection means to you.
- You name your ten humans. The circle widens.
Who it's for
People with a story about reconnection.
Neighbors, scientists, educators, builders — anyone with a story about reconnection.
- Brain science
- Learning
- Community
Who we hope to sit down with
People who make connection their work.
- Brain scientists who study how we learn, from our first words on
- Teachers and educators who build minds every day
- Neighbors and community builders who turn streets into communities
- Musicians and artists who make the things we feel together
- Mathematicians and scientists who see how everything connects
- Builders and makers who create what lasts
- Doctors, caregivers and people who give back to those around them
Our outreach is just beginning. We name a guest only once they have said yes.
Come sit down with us.
If you have a story about reconnecting — with your work, your neighbors, or yourself — we'd love to talk.
