The Imperfects

Hugh van Cuylenburg, Ryan Shelton, Josh van Cuylenburg

Booking Overview

An interview-led mental health and resilience show featuring public figures, creators, and subject-matter experts who openly discuss personal struggles, imperfection, and practical wellbeing lessons. Agencies could credibly pitch psychologists, mental-health advocates, and established entertainers, authors, creators, chefs, or business leaders with compelling personal experiences and useful expertise; booking difficulty is medium because guests generally need both recognizable credentials and genuine vulnerability.
