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.
