Mia Funk leads a global educational initiative as the creator and host of The Creative Process Podcast and the One Planet Podcast. An artist and writer with a background in Renaissance studies, she explores the intersection of arts, humanities, and environmental activism through long-form dialogues. Her work serves as an oral history archive, featuring conversations with diverse figures such as Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Viet Thanh Nguyen, composer Max Richter, and the Dalai Lama. Recently, she published the book Leon Battista Alberti in Exile: Tracing the Path to the First Modern Book on Painting, a collaborative project with Peter Weller that bridges historical scholarship and contemporary creative inquiry. Funk frequently partners with international institutions like the Paris-Sorbonne University and major cultural events including Art Basel and the Venice Biennale. By integrating student associate producers into her production workflow, she provides professional mentorship while documenting the working methods of the world's leading thinkers for a global audience.
