The lineup
Interviews that earn the seat, a weekly live table, and a listen-first peer circle. Pick your room — or wander between them.
Guest interviews
Guests don’t get a soft landing — they earn the chair. Jim & Todd host long-form conversations with people who’ve been through something real: career pivots, hard seasons, creative risks, the stuff that doesn’t fit a LinkedIn summary.
Expect curiosity over gotchas, hallway honesty over brand polish. If you’ve got a story worth sitting with, we’d rather hear it than sell it.
Book a guest interviewWeekly live table
The weekly hang. Two GenX hosts at the table — open conversation, side quests, and the kind of banter that used to get you sent to the office. Show up live when you can; catch the replay when life does what life does.
Homeroom is the clubhouse energy: less “content strategy,” more “pull up a chair.”
Watch on YouTubePeer support · listen first
From the bench you cheered and supported. On The Bench, listeners are the crew — inclusive and open to anyone who wants a listen-first room. You check in anonymously. If you want company after that, the private Facebook group is the next door — check-in first; we don’t invent shortcuts.
This is peer support, not therapy. We don’t claim medical or counseling credentials. If you’re in immediate danger or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 (US) or use local emergency services. The Bench is not a crisis line.
