Fred Cook kicks off a timely conversation on the future of public relations—through the lens of generational differences and shared experiences. The episode unpacks key insights from the USC Center for PR's 2025 Global Communication Report: Mind The Gap, which examines how four major forces—AI, hybrid work, media evolution, and polarization—are reshaping the industry and impacting the four generations working within it.Moderated by Barby K. Siegel, Global CEO of Zeno Group, the panel explores questions like:How do different generations view AI's role in the future of PR?What does true collaboration across age groups look like?How can organizations foster flexibility without sacrificing culture?How should communicators approach purpose-driven work amid growing polarization and risk aversion?Key Discussion Highlights:AI as a Tool, Not a Replacement: AI is seen as a career-enhancing tool that frees up time for creativity and strategic thinking — but panelists caution against using it as a crutch, emphasizing the need to maintain strong writing and critical thinking skills.Hybrid Work Expectations: Younger generations value autonomy and flexibility, with many willing to take pay cuts for remote options. But panelists stress that trust, clear expectations, and intentional relationship-building remain critical in hybrid settings.Media Consumption Gaps: Gen Z leans into social and influencer-driven media, while older generations still prioritize traditional outlets like The New York Times and CNN. The takeaway? Successful communicators must be media-fluid and audience-focused.The Purpose Divide: Younger employees (especially Gen Z) expect companies to take stands on social issues, even as overall industry willingness to engage has dropped sharply—from 89% in 2023 to 52% in 2025.Soft Skills Still Reign: From phone calls to peer reviews, interpersonal communication, empathy, and networking remain essential soft skills for all generations.Call for Collaboration: Panelists advocate for breaking down hierarchies by bringing younger professionals into leadership conversations early and often. Generational gaps should be "galvanized," not just "minded."Reports: 2025 Global Communication Report: https://annenberg.usc.edu/research/center-public-relations/global-communication-reportFeaturing:    •    Fred Cook (USC Annenberg Center for PR)    •    Kelly McGinnis (Levi Strauss & Co.)    •    Sona Iliffe-Moon (Yahoo)    •    Bill Imada (IW Group)    •    Kyndall L.

Police In Texas When The Shooting Stops, His Story. When the shooting stops, the silence can be deafening, especially for someone who has spent a lifetime running toward danger. That’s the reality Kevin Foster, a decorated law enforcement veteran in Texas, knows all too well. After 45 years on the job, Foster’s story is not just about service and sacrifice, but about survival in the aftermath of violence. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on our website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. In a compelling new podcast making waves on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website plus platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, Foster opens up about the traumatic events that shaped his life and career. “There’s a cost to every call, every shot fired, all the friends you lose,” Foster shares. “When it gets quiet, that’s when the real battle starts can start in your mind.” Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms Foster’s experience reads like a history of Fort Worth policing. He spent 29 years with the Fort Worth Police Department, followed by over a decade with the TCU Police Department, and time with the local Sheriff’s office. Throughout his service in Texas, he saw more than his fair share of violence. Two incidents stand out, both etched into his memory, both life-altering. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium, Newsbreak and Blogspot. The first was a deadly encounter in which Foster and his partner were involved in a shootout. “It was a fight for our lives,” he recalls. “One suspect tried to take my weapon. My partner and I had no choice, we shot to survive.” Tragically, another suspect opened fire, injuring Foster’s partner in the chaos. The gunfight was brutal and long, with emotional consequences that followed Foster for years. Police In Texas When The Shooting Stops, His Story. In another harrowing moment, Foster, then a sergeant, responded to an active shooter call in Fort Worth. “The radio was alive with screams. Officers were yelling for backup, and the killer was on a rampage,” Foster remembers. The suspect, involved in a violent domestic dispute, was believed to have committed multiple heinous crimes before the shooting. The stress of that day, like many others, compounded the trauma Foster was already carrying. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms Diagnosed with CPTSD (Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), Foster has become a strong voice for mental health awareness in law enforcement. “We don’t talk enough about what happens to police when the shooting stops,” he said in a recent interview posted on LinkedIn and shared across Facebook, Instagram, and X. “The shooting might end, but the echoes stay with you.” Despite the trauma, Foster has remained a pillar in his community. He served as Chairman Emeritus of the Fort Worth Police and Firefighters Memorial, where he also acted as Research Director for over 23 years. In 2009, Fort Worth unveiled a million-dollar memorial commemorating its fallen heroes, an effort that meant a great deal to Foster. The interview is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast website, also available on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major podcast outlets. As an author, Foster co-wrote Written in Blood: The History of Fort Worth’s Fallen Lawmen (Volumes 1 and 2) with historian Richard F. Selcer. These deeply researched books chronicle the stories of police officers, sheriffs, and other lawmen who died in the line of duty from 1861 to 1928. The books are both a tribute and a history lesson, shedding light on the brutal realities faced by those who chose the badge. Police In Texas When The Shooting Stops, His Story. Foster also co-authored Fort Worth Cops – The Inside Stories, a gripping collection of over 100 real-life stories from the 1950s to the present. These accounts dive into gang violence, serial killers, and vice operations, but also explore the faith and resolve that keep officers going. “Our job isn’t just about enforcing the law, it’s about protecting people, even when it breaks us,” Foster said. His most recent work, End of Watch – Fort Worth’s Fallen Officers 1873–2024, continues that mission, documenting the ultimate sacrifices made by officers across generations. Check out the show on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms Today, Foster speaks openly about his journey toward recovery. Therapy, faith, writing, and community engagement are all part of his path forward. “It’s a daily fight,” he says. “But I’ve come a long way, and I want other officers to know they’re not alone.” In an era when public trust and the role of law enforcement are under constant scrutiny, Foster offers a nuanced, honest perspective, one grounded in experience, pain, and hope. His voice is one of many in a growing movement that asks: What happens to the police in Texas, or anywhere, when the shooting stops? Police In Texas When The Shooting Stops, His Story. For more insights, the free episode of the "Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast", is available on their website for free in addition to Apple Podcasts and Spotify, as well as through other podcast platforms. Kevin Foster’s story is a powerful reminder that behind every badge is a human being, one who carries the weight of every gunfight, every loss, every life saved, and every life taken. You can find more of Kevin Foster’s work and insights in a free Podcast available on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show Website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. You can also find more information about the episode featuring Kevin on Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, and more.

Join me as I draw inspiration from my recent conversation with Garry Ridge, the Chairman Emeritus and former CEO of the iconic WD-40 Company. While the terms are often used interchangeably, I talk about the crucial distinction between values and beliefs and use real-world scenarios where lack of clarity leads to confusion and inconsistency.

Last but not least, we examine why organizations benefit from having a values hierarchy. What You'll Learn:• How to transform organizational values into actionable strategies.• The impact of core values on effective decision-making.• Ways to enhance integrity within the organization.• Strategies to improve team cohesion through shared values.• The power of a values hierarchy.Podcast Timestamps:(00:00) The Power of Organizational Values(12:37) Prioritizing Organizational Values for Clarity(19:30) Maximizing Values Alignment: The Role of IntentionKey Topics Discussed:Organizational Values, Translating Values Into Action Garry Ridge, WD-40 Company, Prioritizing Values, Maximizing Clarity, Ensuring Alignment, Values-Based Decision-Making, Increasing Trust, Creating A Culture of Integrity, Building Cohesion, Doing the Right Thing, Fostering Empowerment, Positive Team Dynamics, CEO SuccessMore of Do Good to Lead Well:Website: https://craigdowden.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/craigdowden/
