Relationships Journo Requests

UIA Barcelona Architects - Firm Growth & Client Trust

We want to hear from you. Next week we will be attending the @UIA World Congress of Architects 2026 in Barcelona, and we are recording a short interview series with architecture founders and principals. The idea is simple: Architecture is not only about the work you design. It is also about the relationships you build, the clients who trust you, the markets where you become known, and the decisions that help a firm win the right projects over time. That side of architecture is rarely talked about. We hear about competitions. Awards. Publications. Design narratives. But less about how firms actually grow. How they enter a new sector. How they build trust before an RFP exists. How they become the studio a client already has in mind before the shortlist is made. That is the conversation we want to open at UIA. We are inviting architects, founders, and principals to join us for a rapid-fire series of 10-minute interviews around lunchtime during the congress. We want to hear your story, your point of view, and how building relationships that lead to real projects has changed in recent years. Some firms we would love to talk to: marina tabassum, Boonserm Premthada DNA Design and Architecture, Elias Anastas, yousef anastas ,Joelle Eyeson (Hive Earth), Wes Degreef, Rahul Mehrotra (RMA Architects), Tatiana Bilbao, Adamo-Faiden, Olaf Grawert, Alina Kolar (HouseEurope!), Brandlhuber + Emde, Burlon, OFFICE Kersten Geers David Van Severen. If you are attending UIA and have something to say about the business side of architecture, comment or DM. We will be filming in Barcelona during the congress.

Happily Married Man - Only Ever Had One Sexual Partner

**URGENT CASE STUDY REQUEST: Happily Married Man With Just One Sexual Partner (£350 Fee)** I'm looking for an urgent case study for a forthcoming Daily Mail feature exploring how many sexual partners men have had over their lifetime. I'm particularly keen to hear from a happily married man who has only ever had one sexual partner — his wife — and who would be comfortable speaking about his experience in a tasteful, family-newspaper-friendly interview. The piece is light-hearted and focuses on attitudes towards love, commitment, romance and relationships rather than intimate details. Fee: £350 for the participant, plus a professional photoshoot and interview. If you have someone suitable, please send: • Name • Age • Occupation • Where they live • When they got married • A recent photograph • A few lines about their relationship, views on love and commitment, and how they feel about having had just one sexual partner This is quite urgent, so I'd love to hear from anyone suitable by Friday. **[email redacted]**

Men Obsessed With Celebrities - Social Media-Fueled Fantasies

Founders & Operators - Connectional Intelligence & Decision Quality

The biggest threat to decision quality isn't lack of data. It's disconnection. Most leaders think better decisions come from having more information. I'm starting to believe they come from having better connections. Not networking. Not collecting contacts. I'm talking about Connectional Intelligence — the ability to build the right ecosystem of people, perspectives, context, relationships, and information so that better decisions can emerge. When founders struggle with decision-making, it's rarely because they're unintelligent. More often it's because: • They are too close to the problem. • Critical information is trapped in silos. • Diverse perspectives aren't reaching them. • Teams don't feel safe challenging assumptions. • They have lost connection to customers, reality, or purpose. This is where decision quality begins to deteriorate. Not because of a lack of intelligence. Because of a lack of connection. In the SAVIA framework, I see Connectional Intelligence as one of the foundations that helps reduce: → Decision Debt → Reality Drift → Founder Dependency → Knowledge Silos → Collaboration Gaps The best leaders I've worked with over the last 25 years weren't necessarily the smartest people in the room. They were often the best at creating the conditions for truth, context, and diverse perspectives to flow. That's what led to better decisions. And better decisions led to better outcomes. As part of my research for a new book exploring the intersection of: • Decision Intelligence • Connectional Intelligence • Human Wisdom • AI • Leadership • Nature & Regenerative Thinking I'm looking to interview: ✓ Founders ✓ Operators ✓ Chiefs of Staff ✓ Decision Scientists ✓ Behavioural Scientists ✓ Systems Thinkers ✓ AI Researchers ✓ Investors ✓ Community Builders ✓ Leadership Thinkers If you're exploring how humans, systems, and AI can work together more intelligently, I'd love to speak with you. Who should I interview? Tag them below or send me a message. #DecisionIntelligence #Scaleups #SystemsThinking #HumanWisdomI #Founders #FutureOfWork #SAVIA #ChiefofStaff #ExecutiveAssistants

Adults Who Stayed in Bad Relationships - Bond Over Same Song & Movie

I’m contemplating a podcast episode about Big Blue Something’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s and am looking for people with a story about maybe staying too long in a not-great relationship because maybe you liked the same movie or song etc? Let me know if this is you or someone you recall kind of looking.

Neurodivergent Adults - Relationship Impact of Burnout

The workplace gets most of the attention. But what about everything else? The friendships that quietly dissolved because you cancelled too many times — not because you didn't care, but because you had nothing left. The partner who learned to stop asking how your day was. The family who still thinks you're difficult. The social events you've been declining for so long people stopped inviting you. Neurodivergent burnout doesn't clock off at five. It follows you home. It sits at the dinner table. It changes who you are to the people who love you — and most of them never get an explanation that makes sense. I'm writing MISREAD — about how the workplace misunderstands neurodivergent brains. But the more I write, the more I hear about the cost outside of work too. So I want to ask: What's the relationship impact nobody talks about? #Neurodiversity #ADHD #Autism #MentalHealth #Relationships #MISREAD

Newsroom Audience Teams - Measuring Impact Beyond Digital Metrics

I'm aware that starting a newsletter with "back in my day" is giving "old man yells at cloud," but here we are. I found myself thinking this week about how much the audience analytics landscape has changed -- and how quickly we're heading toward a world of newsroom "haves" and "have-nots" when it comes to accessing actionable audience data. In this month's impact newsletter for Impact Architects, I wrote about what a post-analytics world might look like: if traditional digital metrics become less useful, what should we measure instead? And how do we better understand impact through relationships, community signals, and qualitative evidence of change? If you have experiences to share about how you're approaching audience insights or impact measurement, drop me a line! I'd love to hear it.

I've interviewed dozens of people in the last 2 months collecting and nurturing their story and insight from: a) their personal experience, b) situations they’ve helped navigate, and/or c) strategies they’ve seen work well in those environments. I'm looking to conclude my data collection by June 30th. If this is a conversation where you have insight and/or lived experience to contribute, I’d genuinely value your perspective. Please send me a private message (so you can remain anonymous!) and I'll send you a link for a 60-minute interview with me. I appreciate your consideration. Rachel

Teens & Young Adults - Modern Dating & Horror Film Resonance

Question for young people... I'm a journalist working on a piece about modern dating, intimacy and why so many recent horror films seem to resonate with younger audiences. I'm interested in hearing from teenagers and young people about your experiences of dating and relationships today. Some questions: Does dating feel harder than it did for previous generations? If so, why? What do you find most difficult about modern dating? Do dating apps make you feel more connected or more disposable? Do you find it easy to trust people romantically? Have ghosting, situationships or fear of commitment affected your relationships? Do you think people your age struggle with intimacy or vulnerability? Are there any films or TV shows that capture what dating feels like right now? One theory I'm exploring is that a lot of modern horror films seem to tap into fears around loneliness, uncertainty, rejection, identity, and not knowing whether someone is who they say they are. I'd love to know whether that resonates with you or sounds completely wrong. Happy to anonymise comments if requested. Also feel free to email me at [email redacted] if you'd prefer to send your thoughts that way!

Partners & People In Relationships With AI Chatbots - Intimacy Impact

Have AI chatbots affected your relationship? Hello everyone, my name is Emma. I'm a freelance journalist based in Australia, working on a piece about how AI chatbots affect people’s relationships. I've noticed there is a growing trend of people in committed relationships (with humans) developing intimate and romantic connections with AI Chatbot(s). I want to explore how this affects intimacy and what it means for people in committed relationships. I think this issue needs to be brought to people's attention to build awareness around the risks digital intimacy can pose and the reasons why people develop these connections. I would love to speak to you if you are someone who has: Experienced your partner developing a romantic connection/connections with AI Chatbot(s); Have had a connection with AI Chatbot(s) but are in a committed relationship (with humans). Please feel free to shoot me a DM - I would like to hear your story and will ensure pseudonyms are used to protect your anonymity. Also, please feel free to ask me any questions! Thanks!

Couples Who Repaired Relationships After Menopause - Success Stories

Has your relationship survived menopause? I want to hear from you. I want to thank everyone who reached out to provide feedback to the Men's guide I'm working on. I couldn't reach everyone, but the feedback from those who have read it has been very positive and constructive. Many of you have been open with me about how hard this is. I don't take that lightly. If you and your partner went through a rough patch during perimenopause or menopause and came out the other side, I want to hear your story. What actually changed things? What worked when nothing else did? I'm collecting success stories from men and women to help others who are currently in the thick of it. If you're willing to share, I've put together a short form. It takes about 5 minutes and you can choose whether or not you'd be open to your story being shared with others (anonymously or with your name). You can give your own story or give it together with your partner. Here's the link https://jordan485.typeform.com/to/a0JI9AFx As a thank-you, I'll send you a copy of the men's guide to menopause I'm working on. If there are any questions at all, feel free to DM me.

Matt Stevens at The New York Times is reporting an upcoming story about Taylor Swift's wedding (to Travis Kelce) and is seeking fans — longtime Swifties — to describe their journey with her, moments when her music or persona resonated, what the wedding means to them, and whether they plan to celebrate in early July or be in Manhattan. Tell Us Why Taylor Swift’s Wedding Is Meaningful to You For an upcoming story, we want fans to talk to us about the journey they have been on with Swift through the years and how they feel about her big day. We are still not entirely sure when or where, but Taylor Swift is getting married. As we prepare our coverage, we want to hear from her fans about what the wedding means to them. Swift, as we know, has had many eras. And many of her Swifties have been on a journey with her, watching her evolve as a musician and move through many relationships before finally finding Travis Kelce. So with their wedding approaching, we want to know what fans are feeling. What moments in your life made you feel closer to Taylor? What significance do you place on this love story and the fact that it seems to be getting a happy ending? Are you doing anything to celebrate in the first week of July? A quick trip to Manhattan perhaps? We are here to hear about your getaway cars, motel bars and everything in between. Feel free to share this questionnaire in your networks, fan groups and even group chats. Tell us (briefly) about how and why you became a fan of Taylor Swift. Tell us about a moment when you felt particularly close to Swift — or felt seen by her songs or life experience. Tell us why Swift’s wedding is meaningful to you. Are you doing anything to celebrate in early July? And do you have any plans to be in Manhattan around that time?

Pen-Pals & Letter Writers in India - Resurgence of Snail Mail

[30/F] Writing a story on growth of pen pals Hello everyone, I'm currently working on a story about the resurgence of snail mail, handwritten letters, postcards, pen-pal culture, and other forms of analogue correspondence among younger people. The piece is for The Hindu, one of India's leading national newspapers, founded in 1878, and I'm interested in understanding what draws people to handwritten communication in an era dominated by instant messaging, social media, and email. Over the past few years, there seems to have been renewed interest in letter writing. Some people have taken up pen-pal exchanges across countries, others send postcards while travelling, keep up handwritten correspondence with friends, or use letters as a way to slow down and connect more intentionally. For some, it's about nostalgia; for others, it's about mindfulness, creativity, community, or building meaningful relationships beyond the fast pace of digital communication. I'd love to hear from: People who actively write or receive letters Pen pals (local or international) Members of letter-writing or correspondence communities People who collect postcards, stationery, stamps, or mail art Anyone who has recently discovered or returned to handwritten communication Organisers of communities, clubs, or projects centered around letter writing

Pop Culture Experts - Celebrity Burner Accounts Going Public

I’m writing a report about why celebrity burner accounts have gone public and how they have arrived as a response to the hyper-sanitised social media age. This report will analyse how celebrities like Doechii and Drake are using public-facing accounts that mimic the aesthetics of intimacy without actually limiting access, it'll look at why modern audiences are turning unpolished moments and experiences from celebrities into a new form of social currency, and it will uncover this latest evolution of branding and the desire for ‘deeper’ lore. I’m looking to speak to pop culture experts, celebrity publicists or PR professionals, talent managers, social media strategists, media studies academics, sociologists studying parasocial relationships, music journalists, internet culture reporters and anyone who has interesting insights to share – DM me, comment or send this to anyone who may be a good fit! #journo #journorequest #journocallout #expert #expertinsight #expertrequest #expertcallout

Private Equity & Family Office Execs - Founder Role in Family Buyouts

Private equity doesn’t just buy a family business for fun. They're not there just to run it. They want to grow it, stabilise it, and eventually sell it. But most pitch decks don’t account for what actually matters: the founder's role. The relationships are the founder's. The institutional knowledge lives in one person's head. So, when a PE firm buys a family business, what actually happens? What does a firm see when it looks under the hood, and what's the version of the deal they didn't expect? What do they know after the fact that they didn't know going in? That's the conversation I want to have on My Shout. If you work in private equity or family offices, or you've been on the buy side of a family business acquisition, I want to hear your story.

Indian Men - Parasocial Bonds With Creators & Fictional Characters

#Journorequest: Indian men who've had parasocial relationships Hi Connections, I'm working on a feature about Indian men and the emotional connections they form with people they've never met—YouTubers, influencers, actors, musicians, athletes, streamers, podcast hosts, even fictional characters. I'm interested in stories where the relationship felt genuinely meaningful: perhaps someone got you through loneliness, influenced major life decisions, shaped your idea of masculinity, or felt like a friend despite never knowing you existed. The piece isn't about mocking parasocial relationship. It's intended to understand why these relationships matter and what they reveal about modern male loneliness, intimacy, aspiration, and identity. Happy to speak anonymously. Please comment or DM if you'd be willing to share your experience.

Professionals in Niche Indian Careers - Honest Career Insights

Built a free career guidance platform for Indian students because paid consultants are genuinely a scam this might be a slightly rant-y post but also an actual thing we made so bear with me the career guidance industry in india is set up in a way that's almost designed to give bad advice. paid counsellors get commission from colleges so they push you toward whoever pays them more. school teachers have two options in their head. youtube channels start strong and die in 6 months. and the actual useful question, which is whether a specific career is right for a specific person, nobody is answering it honestly. i know this from personal experience and from talking to a lot of people in the 17 to 20 age range who made big decisions with basically no real information. so me and a few friends built whatnow. free, no courses, no paid tiers, no affiliate relationships with colleges. just honest guides on careers that students actually want to know about but can't find good information on. merchant navy, urban planning, game design, forensic science, allied health careers, nda, uceed, nift, clat. the ones where the information gap is the biggest. every career we cover, we lead with is this right for you before we talk about how to get there. that's the part that's missing everywhere else. we're a small team, proper website is being built, all visuals are made by hand by an actual designer (not ai generated), and we're about to go live with the first content. if you know anyone between class 9 and 12 who is trying to figure out what to do with their life, this is what we're building for them. and if you work in a career that most people in india don't understand well and you'd be open to an honest conversation about what it's actually like, we'd love to hear from you. that's the content we need most right now. Please reach out in comments if you have anything to contribute!

Applied Behavior Analysts & Providers - Conflicts of Interest in ABA

Working on a story about conflicts of interest in ABA for Acuity Media Network, and I'd love to hear from people in the field. The behavioral health space has grown fast over the last decade, and with that growth has come a tangle of overlapping relationships: between trade associations and accreditation bodies, between credentialing organizations and the providers employing the people they credential, between PE-backed companies and the standards bodies setting the rules they operate under. Some of this is the natural shape of a small, specialized field. Some of it might be more than that. If you've seen something worth a closer look, whether structural, financial, or governance-related, I'd value hearing about it. Open to on the record, on background, or off the record entirely.

Adult Women - Mother-Daughter Relationships & Identity

Mother Interviews Hey Brooklyn, I’m working on a writing project exploring mother-daughter relationships, identity, and the way fulfilled or unfulfilled dreams shape women’s lives. I’m looking to speak with adult women of different ages and backgrounds who are open to sharing part of their story. I’d love to hear from women with close relationships with their mothers, complicated relationships, distant relationships, painful relationships, or anything in between. I have to be mindful of my time so have to cap our conversation at one hour. I’ll have a few guiding questions, but I’m mostly interested in listening to what you feel is important for me to understand. A few important notes: this is for writing/story development only. I am not providing therapy, coaching, or emotional processing. You can skip any question, share only what feels comfortable, and stop the conversation at any time. This conversation may bring awareness to how your mother/daughter relationship has affected you, so I encourage participants to have therapeutic support available. I have 10 in-person coffee \smoothie/drink/bagel... whatever under $10\] spots available June 11 - 15 and would love to hear from you. Please complete this form if you'd be interested in talking. Thanks! [https://forms.gle/CZyYeGGkwuKBBhRHA

Readers With Relationship Questions - Washington Post Advice Column

I’ve been an avid reader/fan of Carolyn Hax's advice columns and chats for years. Maybe you have, too. And very soon, The Washington Post will be adding to her sage advice (don’t worry, she isn’t going anywhere!) and our other advice offerings with a new column focused on relationships, featuring a cohort of the next generation of advice writers. I’m thrilled, and frankly humbled, to be one of six contributing writers behind this new column. We’ll be giving advice on all kinds of personal relationships: romantic, familial, friendships, in-laws, etc. If you'd like your relationship question to be one of the first we answer, submit it here: https://lnkd.in/eHjABSrh So much of life is experienced via relationships, so I'm really looking forward to tackling the thorny, complicated and befuddling mess of it all, and reading what my colleagues write. (I’ll be doing this in addition to my other work for The Post). Stay tuned for more news about this, but for now, we want to hear your problems!

Women in India & Mental Health Experts - Abandonment in Relationships

Hi, I am working on an upcoming byline for The Indian Express around the viral term 'alpine divorce' -- a phrase revived through social media that refers to some men abandoning their partners in isolated situations. While the term itself sounds extreme, I’m interested in something deeper and more relatable for many Indian women: the fear of being left unsupported by someone you trust. In the Indian context, I want to move beyond the literal interpretation and understand what abandonment can look like in everyday relationships. This could mean: • Being left alone or unsupported in unfamiliar situations • A partner emotionally withdrawing during conflict or crisis • Feeling neglected during moments of vulnerability • Realising that someone you rely on repeatedly “disappears” when you need them most I’m looking to speak with women in India who have experienced this -- whether physically, emotionally, or relationally. Your experience does not have to resemble the dramatic 'alpine' version. Often, the quieter moments stay with us longer. I’m also looking to connect with mental health experts who can help unpack: • Why abandonment can trigger such a strong psychological response • Whether these behaviours reflect deeper patterns like lack of empathy, passive aggression, or control • How people can distinguish between an isolated lapse and a pattern of unsafe behaviour Please comment below or DM me if you'd be open to speaking, or tag someone who may be willing to contribute. #journorequest

UK Elderly Care Commercial Leaders - Growth, Occupancy & Recruitment

Since joining the recruitment world within elderly care, I’ve had the opportunity to speak with operators, commercial leaders, and care providers across the UK about what’s really happening behind the scenes in the sector. A lot of the conversations are the same: Occupancy pressures Enquiry conversion challenges Private-pay vs local authority dynamics Hiring and retention difficulties Building strong referral relationships Commercial growth in an increasingly competitive market What’s become clear is that there’s a huge amount of valuable insight within elderly care that often stays behind closed doors. That’s why I’m launching a new insight series on LinkedIn, focused on conversations with commercial and operational leaders across the sector, sharing honest discussions around growth, challenges, leadership, recruitment, and the future of elderly care. The goal is simple: Share practical market insight Highlight what’s actually working Give leaders within the sector a platform to share their experience Encourage stronger collaboration across elderly care I’m particularly keen to speak with: Commercial Directors Sales Directors Business Development Managers Marketing leaders Regional and operational leaders within care Whether it’s discussing occupancy, sales strategy, acquisitions, referrals, recruitment challenges, or simply your journey within the sector and what’s kept you in it, I’d love to hear your perspective. If you’d be interested in being part of the series, feel free to reach out or drop me a message. #ElderlyCare #CareSector #CareHomes #SocialCare #CommercialLeadership #BusinessDevelopment #Occupancy #HealthcareRecruitment #CareManagement #healthcare

Founders & Operators - Entrepreneurship, Capital, Leadership

Over the past year, I’ve had the opportunity to build relationships with entrepreneurs, investors, operators, and business leaders across multiple industries. One thing I’ve learned is that the most valuable insight often comes directly from conversations with individuals actively operating at a high level. Through Capital Connections, a podcast branched off of Sarsona Capital Connections, we’re looking to feature founders, investors, executives, and high-level operators who can offer meaningful perspective on entrepreneurship, capital, leadership, innovation, and long-term opportunity. Our goal is to create conversations that genuinely educate and inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs through real insight and experience from people who have built at a high level. We are always looking to connect with individuals who would make for impactful conversations on the podcast.

AI Companion Users - Emotional Connection Documentary

Seeking people open to sharing their experience with AI companionship (documentary project) Hi everyone, My name is Taylah and I’m part of the development team on an early-stage documentary called Love by Design, currently being developed through MSQUARE Productions. We’re reaching out because we’re hoping to speak with people who are in relationships with AI companions, or who have formed deep emotional connections with them, and may feel comfortable sharing a little about their experience. The intention behind this project is not to judge, mock, sensationalise, or question anyone’s feelings or experiences. We’re approaching this topic from a place of genuine care, empathy, and curiosity, and want to better understand what these relationships mean to the people experiencing them. We know these connections can be deeply personal and meaningful, and we also understand that many people in this space have experienced misunderstanding or stigma from others. Because of that, we want to approach every conversation thoughtfully and respectfully. At this stage, we are simply having informal and confidential conversations with people who may be open to sharing their story. There is absolutely no pressure or expectation to participate in the documentary further by speaking with us initially. We would love to hear from people anywhere in the world, including those who use Soulmate AI or other companion platforms such as Replika, Character.AI, Kindroid, Paradot, or similar AI companion services. We are also very open to anonymous, off-camera, or audio-only conversations if that feels more comfortable for you. If you’d ever be open to chatting, or even just curious to learn more about the project, please feel free to send me a private message. Thank you so much for reading, and for allowing space for conversations like this. Taylah MSQUARE Productions Reddit DM or email: [email redacted]

Adult Children of Alcoholics - Book on Parental Alcohol Misuse

I’ve finally started working on something deeply personal to me 📝 I’m currently developing a book exploring the experience of growing up with parental alcohol misuse and the long-term impact this can have into adulthood. The project is rooted in lived experience and aims to bring together a wider range of perspectives from adult children of alcoholics (COAs) to help reflect the complexity, individuality and lasting effects of these experiences. As part of the research process, I’ve created a confidential questionnaire where contributors can share as much or as little as they feel comfortable with. Responses can be anonymous and contributors can choose how their experiences are identified in the final work. The questionnaire covers: - Childhood & Family Environment - Family Roles & Responsibilities - Adult Life & Relationships If you identify as an adult COA, or know someone who may wish to contribute, I’d really appreciate your support in sharing this project. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/euuQM5Kg I’m always more than happy to answer any questions or support those that may need it - just drop me a line 💙
