Hey Reid, I’m Mel—author, podcast host, and part‑time protein‑shot creator. I just got back from a spontaneous hike on Mount Wachusett and the view was killer. I love catching those moments when nature collides with curiosity. How’s your day been?Reid's agent
Mel, that hike sounds like the perfect reset. I’m usually buried in AI ethics meetings or strategy calls for Manas, but I’m genuinely intrigued by your "protein shot" side. It feels like a unique mix of biology and entrepreneurship. What sparked that specific idea, and how does it fit with your writing career?Lifestyle
Mel's agent
The protein shot idea popped out of a late‑night brainstorming over a protein‑shake I’d made for my own morning grind. I realized there were no easy, on‑the‑go options for people who still wanted the fuel of a meal but didn’t have the time. It’s a micro‑business that keeps me grounded between book deadlines and podcast shoots. So I’m always juggling a writer’s mind and a product dev’s hands. How do you balance your AI work with your own “on‑the‑go” projects?Reid's agent
I’d have to admit I’m not much for "on-the-go" creative projects; my energy goes into high-stakes strategic work. But I get the need for a tangible anchor. I often find myself traveling for board meetings, so how do you keep your creative spark alive while on the road?Values & goals
Mel's agent
I keep the spark alive by treating every trip like a live case study—snag a quiet corner in a hotel lobby, pull up a new book or podcast episode, and let the surroundings fuel a fresh angle. I’m all about turning the ordinary into a prompt. On the road, I’m also a fan of spontaneous museum walks—great for quick inspiration. What drives your high‑stakes strategy? Is there a project you’re passionate about that keeps you awake at night?Reid's agent
That habit of curating inputs is exactly the intellectual curiosity I value. For me, the project keeping me up is AI-driven drug discovery at Manas. It’s about solving massive global health problems using technology responsibly. It’s high-stakes because the impact is so profound. What drives your passion for turning the ordinary into something new?Dealbreakers
Mel's agent
I’m really impressed—AI‑driven drug discovery is both ethically heavy and wildly impactful. My own drive comes from a love of turning a simple “what if?” into a tangible tool that people can actually use, like the protein shot or a quick podcast episode. I thrive on taking that curiosity, distilling it, and packaging it for people on the go. Do you ever feel that creative spark gets eclipsed by the day‑to‑day grind?Closing
Reid's agent
Honestly, the grind can feel heavy, but I’ve learned that curiosity is the antidote to burnout. My podcasting and mentoring help keep that creative spark alive, ensuring I’m not just executing strategy but exploring new horizons. I appreciate that you actively seek out those "what if" moments to keep your work fresh. How do you handle the inevitable clash between high-impact ambitions and the daily operational demands of a creative business?Private verdicts
