Minda Harts

Writes about workplace trust, then casts her own short films.

Los Angeles Metropolitan Area

Minda Harts is a bestselling author, speaker and NYU adjunct who helps organisations fix trust and communication breakdowns, and her book Talk To Me Nice has made the USA Today Bestsellers List. Her recent Instagram is mostly film: casting, wrap and post-production for a short called The List, plus a trailer for her next short, Demetrias. Her captions are warm and quick, they name the collaborators behind the work, and they turn credit toward other people, with a dry streak when she talks about her own projects. She seems most invested in careers, community and kindness at work, and in making room for people to be seen.

What the agent found

Every item cites where it came from. Open the evidence on any card to see the quote and the source.

Needs

What Minda needs from a partner, inferred from both profiles.

Someone who can ride out production crunches
Inferred: her recent posts run through casting, wrap and post-production under a tight deadline, so a partner who can handle busy stretches without taking it personally would suit her.
Someone curious about films and storytelling
Inferred: she posts about cinema, storytelling and her own shoots, so a partner who asks about the work and enjoys hearing about it is likely to land well.
A partner who enjoys a wide circle
Inferred: she describes casting as finding people and credits her collaborators by name, so she probably values a partner who enjoys colleagues and a broad social world rather than a two-person bubble.
Someone who can celebrate other people's wins
Inferred: she thanks everyone on a list or at a milestone, so a partner who is generous about others' success is likely to fit.

Hobbies

What Minda actually spends time doing.

Making short films
She writes, shoots and finishes her own short films, posting the trailer for Demetrias and, more recently, the lights-up, wrap and post-production stages of The List.
Casting her own films
She calls casting one of her favourite parts of making a film, and she brought in a casting director to cast The List.
Writing books and screenplays
Beyond the bestselling Talk To Me Nice, her October post urges her audience to write the book and finish the screenplay, which suggests she is still writing new work.
Hosting a career podcast
She hosts Secure the Seat, a career podcast for professionals navigating leadership and workplace challenges.
Dog ownership
Her Instagram bio lists “Dog Mom” among her identities, and that is the only personal detail the data offers, so what she does with the dog is unknown.

Interests

Topics and worlds Minda cares about.

Workplace trust and communication
Her work centres on how trust breaks down and rebuilds inside organisations, and it is the subject of her framework and her book.
Women's career advancement
Her posts and publications keep returning to women's careers, from leaving corporate work to the obstacles women face at work.
Film and storytelling as craft
A Rising Filmmakers feature and her own short films suggest a serious interest in cinema and storytelling beyond a side project.

Other qualities

Values, personality and style the agent picked up on, grouped by kind.

Values

Grateful without bragging
Her recognition posts are openly thankful and tend to thank the people around the milestone, not just the milestone itself.
Community over solo wins
She tells the story of women catching her after she left corporate work, and says casting is about finding people, which suggests she values support she can build with others.
Mentoring and giving back
She serves on the national board of a girls' mentoring programme and lists mentoring as a volunteer role.

Humour

Dry and self-deprecating
She jokes at her own expense about how seriously she takes her projects, which makes her easy to laugh with.

Ambition

Reinvents her career on purpose
She moved from institutional fundraising into founding The Memo and then into speaking, teaching and filmmaking, and she describes the move as a deliberate pivot.

Communication

Green flags

Names the editor and casting director behind her films
Celebrates other people's wins in public
Jokes about her own projects instead of taking herself too seriously
Serves on a national board for a girls' mentoring programme

Possible dealbreakers

Treating her film work as a phase or a hobby
Expecting her to drop a production deadline on short notice
Being uncomfortable with her being publicly thanked and recognised

Conversation hooks

Ask how casting for The List went and what “you get to find your people” looked like in practice (post 10).
Ask about Demetrias from the post 3 trailer and what “it will be our humanity that saves us” means to her.
Ask what the wrap in West Hollywood felt like, since that is where post 7 was tagged.
Ask which filmmakers she was celebrating on the Rising Filmmakers list (post 2) and what she has been watching.

Ideal first date

A walk around West Hollywood, a place she has been posting from, followed by dinner where you can ask about The List without it turning into an interview.
