"Every Day's a Train Wreck"

Someone says the words that stop the room: I just lived a breakup. And suddenly the conversation pivots—not to heartbreak, but to the moment everything shifted. A young coder realizes his real superpower was never the code itself. It was the ability to speak two languages at once: the language of the technical and the language of money. Sometimes when your life breaks, the only direction is outward. Léo Poitevin is a technical founder who walked away from France into Malta's glittering, unregul

What do you do when someone you love is counting minutes instead of years? That question doesn't stay small. It rewires everything—how you work, what you prioritize, who you trust with your time. This conversation starts there, in the weight of real stakes, and doesn't look away. Dr. Kelley Gurley spent three decades watching technology companies chase the next shiny solution—AI, automation, the latest framework—without ever asking the question that matters first: what are we actually trying to

She fell asleep on her keyboard. Her husband carried her to bed. Not once. Repeatedly. Ten, twelve-hour days bled into nights, and the work never stopped—until the day she looked at what she'd built and realized it was slowly destroying her. Tara Patten Weisner is an advertising veteran who pivoted from camera crews to AI, and she discovered something most entrepreneurs never actually say out loud: scaling your business can mean scaling your suffering.

That's the question that changes everything—and the one Marley Majcher started asking herself when her carefully constructed life suddenly demanded she actually follow her own advice. In this episode of Every Day's a Train Wreck, you'll discover what happens when an empty nester who just finished writing a book about resilience and reinvention gets

Marley Majcher sits down with Dr. Angela Kingdon, a late-diagnosed autistic person running the Autistic Culture Podcast Network, to explore what autism actually is — and why Marley might be autistic too. Angela reframes autism not as a disorder, but as a culture: like being American in England, it's a different operating system that gets pathologized when it's not understood as a difference. As the conversation deepens, Marley moves from curious interviewer to person recognizing herself on-air —

Someone stood in a room full of strangers and walked away feeling like they'd found a family—not the kind you're born into, but the kind you discover over two days of real conversation. That feeling, that inexplicable pull toward people you just met, became the seed of something unexpected: a business built entirely around creating moments that can't be replicated, in places that shouldn't work for serious work, but absolutely do.
