The Human Experiment: Psychology, Behavior & the Science of Being Human Why do we trust some people instantly but distrust others without knowing why? Why do we follow crowds, fear things that rarely happen, remember certain moments for years, and make decisions we later regret? Welcome to The Human Experiment, a documentary-style podcast exploring the psychology, behavior, neuroscience, and hidden forces that shape the way humans think and act. Hosted by Ethan Reed, each episode investigates a fascinating question about human behavior from cognitive biases and social influence to memory, emotions, decision-making, attraction, fear, habits, persuasion, conformity, and the strange ways our brains interpret the world around us. We explore famous psychological experiments, groundbreaking discoveries, surprising behavioral studies, real-world stories, and everyday situations that reveal something deeper about being human. ✔️ Why do people obey authority? ✔️ Why does rejection hurt so much? ✔️ Why do we procrastinate even when we know the consequences? ✔️ Why are first impressions so powerful? ✔️ Why do intelligent people sometimes believe obviously false ideas? ✔️ And why does our brain often make decisions before we're even aware of them? The Human Experiment turns complex psychology and behavioral science into compelling stories that are easy to understand and difficult to forget. No complicated academic lectures. No endless jargon. Just fascinating questions, evidence-based explanations, unexpected discoveries, and practical insights into the human mind. Whether you're interested in psychology, neuroscience, human behavior, science, relationships, decision-making, or simply understanding yourself and other people better, The Human Experiment invites you to look at everyday human behavior from a completely different perspective. Because every day, without realizing it, we're all part of the experiment. Think differently. Understand yourself. Discover the human experiment.

Why Do We Follow the Crowd? The Psychology of Conformity, Social Influence & Group Pressure
Sep 6, 202643 minS0

Why Does Rejection Hurt So Much? The Psychology of Belonging, Ostracism & Social Pain
Sep 6, 202645 minS0
<p>Why can a simple “no” change your mood in seconds? Why does being ignored, excluded, rejected by someone you love, or passed over for an opportunity sometimes feel far more painful than the event itself? And why can one rejection lead to days of replaying conversations, questioning your worth, and wondering what went wrong?</p>
<p>In this episode of The Human Experiment, Ethan Reed explores the human psychology behind rejection and what it reveals about human behavior, belonging, social connection, and the human mind.</p>

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.

You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
