Melissa Kircher proves that "the only normal people you know are the ones you don't know very well". Growing up in small town Maryland, close enough to the big cities to have fun but close enough to the country to have space, Melissa has always had a love for good stories and people. Self-describing as the least cool of the cool kids in high school, she finds ways of breaking out of groups and clicks to include who she can.

Cori Di Biase proves that "the only normal people you know are the ones you don't know very well". Cori grew up in rural upstate New York in a K-12 school of 200 total students. He attended Simon's Rock College beginning in the 10th grade then moving on to SUNY Purchase for his Bachelors in Philosophy. Cori began life after college as a saleman of goods with which he had no connection with or passion for, leading to Cori's "favorite failure" moment that shifted his life toward the work he does with public policy and disability service provision where they champion the idea that accessibility requires inclusion with the phrase "Nothing about us without us". He is deeply passionate about Beauty in the world and the major ideas that shape it, which he channels into his own podcast called, A Freedom Of Ideas.
