Lend us your brain.
Help millions think harder.
The kind of red-teaming that today only happens in boardrooms, senior common rooms and well-connected dinner tables — we want to put it in front of anyone with the courage to ask for it. If you've earned a sharp point of view, we'd like to build a verified version of you to help them get there.
Why this matters
Critical thinking is a public good. Most people who'd benefit from being challenged by a great mind never get the chance. THE ROAST exists to close that gap — and the most powerful version of it is built with the real people who shaped the disciplines we care about.
The deal
What we ask of you
- — A 60–90 minute interview, on video or audio, that we can transcribe.
- — A reading list, talk list, or canon of work you stand behind.
- — Sample writing or recordings (essays, interviews, talks, posts) so we can capture your voice accurately.
- — Sign-off on the system prompt and a sample transcript before we publish.
Who we're looking for
Not just famous. We want anyone with a sharp, defensible point of view — founders, operators, scientists, judges, doctors, comedians, athletes, craftspeople, dissenters, teachers. If your perspective makes other people think harder, we want to talk.
