Empowering podcasters and listeners with algorithm-breaking solutions that drive growth and foster a smarter, more connected world.

My name is Alexander Bridgeforth, and I’m a tech founder. When I first imagined Cool People Network, I set out to create the class I never had.

Podcasting is one of the most powerful ways to consume both education and entertainment. Every episode carries the potential to shift perspective, spark action, or change a life. You’re often just one message or one story away from something transformative.

Cool People Network is built around 10 thoughtfully curated categories designed to encourage learning beyond a single lane. We prioritize education over entertainment, while still recognizing the value of balance in how people consume media.

To challenge traditional discovery models, we created a timeline-driven podcast community with no algorithm, allowing listeners to experience content in real time, free from manipulation, bias, or engagement-driven filtering. This approach reimagines how stories, knowledge, and voices are discovered and shared.
