Between Data and Risk is for founders who are actually building something. After nearly 50 episodes on data, risk, and business ops with corporate leaders, we shifted focus—because the stories that stuck weren’t about scale. They were about the early days, when everything’s uncertain and nothing works yet. Now we talk to founders making real decisions with limited info, tight time, and no safety net. The problems vary, but the terrain is shared: shipping too early, hiring too safe, trusting your gut and hoping you’re right. Your hosts: Artur Guja, ex-CRO and ex-trader who navigated 2008 with gains. Dr. Marian Siwiak, scientist, data whisperer, author of Data Mesh in Action, and creator of artificial sentience. Together, they wrote Starting Data Analytics with ChatGPT. And they still enjoy what matters most: talking to founders figuring it out as they go.

What if the next revolution doesn’t start with a protest—but with a beat?
In this powerful episode of Between Data & Risk, hosts Marian Siwiak and Artur Guja sit down with Ariana Alexander-Sefre, founder of SPOKE, to explore how music, culture, and authenticity can radically reshape mental health care.
Ariana shares her journey from the wellness industry to launching SPOKE, a platform that fuses music with psychology to support mental well-being—particularly for young men often sidelined by traditional therapy. Together, we dive deep into the role of cultural relevance, social prescribing, and authenticity in business, while unpacking the deeper question: Can change come from inside the system?
🔑 What you’ll learn:
- Why music can be more effective than words in mental health support
- How SPOKE uses sound to make therapy more accessible and relatable
- The dangers of commodifying rebellion—and how to resist it
- What balancing profit and purpose really looks like in a social enterprise
- How company culture shapes impact from the inside out
- Why we need to rethink how we define “help” in the age of algorithms
- Whether you're a founder, creator, or someone navigating the edges of change—this conversation will challenge how you see art, business, and care.
