The show is hosted by Alanna Lynch, founder of MELIOR FUTURI, and former executive at The New York Times and Artnet. Each week she sits down for intimate, unfiltered conversations with some of the most influential and inspiring voices in the creative, entertainment, and cultural industries. From Emmy-winning war reporters to high-flying media executives, from artists and the journalists who cover them to New York's most sought-after creative directors, producers, and marketers.
Together, they unpack the early influences, unexpected career turns, and untold stories of each guest: the self-doubt they had to overcome, the blind ambition that drove them, and the setbacks that shaped them. What you get is an honest and revealing look at what it really takes to lead at the highest level of the creative, entertainment, and cultural industries.
Alongside headline guests, (FAIL) UP also explores the science and psychology of failure, with insights from neuropharmacologists and psychotherapists who explain what happens in the brain when we fail and how leaders can develop resilience and bounce back.
Each episode wraps with a lightning round of hot takes on creativity, leadership, and the rollercoaster of life in the creative, entertainment and cultural industries.
New episodes drop every Tuesday (US) / Wednesday (AUS). Available on Youtube and all major podcast platforms.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
