In this episode of the Founders Club Podcast, host Dez DeCosta sits down with attorney and author Kent Heckenlively to explore big questions at the intersection of science, policy, and public discourse. Kent’s work has stirred conversation and controversy — and in this conversation he pulls back the curtain on his journey, the research that drives his convictions, and the tension between consensus and dissent in today’s world.

They dive into key ideas from his writing, unpack the risks and rewards of challenging dominant narratives, and discuss how we navigate complexity when there’s no single “right” answer. You’ll come away with sharper critical thinking tools, a deeper understanding of controversy in science, and fresh perspectives on how we talk about uncertainty.
