Is AI a miracle, heralding an age of invention, or the harbinger of a dystopian civilizational collapse? The rise of short-form video on social platforms - empowering creators, or undermining society? The only certainty these days is uncertainty. But for curious minds, that's precisely what makes it exciting. In this episode of The Trending Communicator, host Dan Nestle catches up with Emanuel Rose, CEO of Strategic eMarketing and author of Authentic Marketing in the Age of AI, Authenticity: Marketing to Generation Z,  The Social Media Edge, numerous e-books, and children's books.  As a storyteller, marketer, and dubbed by Dan as a Renaissance man, Emanuel brings a unique perspective to the discussion on AI, generational differences in technology adoption, and the future of communication. The conversation touches on the challenges and opportunities presented by AI in marketing and communications, with Emanuel sharing insights on how businesses can start integrating AI into their operations. They discuss the importance of maintaining human creativity in storytelling while leveraging AI tools, and the potential for AI to free up time for more meaningful pursuits. Emanuel and Dan also examine the generational divide in AI adoption, particularly focusing on Gen X and Gen Z, and how different age groups approach new technologies. They consider the impact of screen time on younger generations and the potential long-term effects on communication skills and social interaction. Throughout the episode, Emanuel emphasizes the need for businesses to embrace change and automate processes to remain competitive. He shares practical advice on tools for automation and discusses the concept of "retail-level" AI agents that could revolutionize how we work. This episode offers valuable insights for communicators, marketers, and business leaders looking to navigate the rapidly changing technological landscape. Whether you're an AI enthusiast or skeptic, you'll find food for thought in this engaging discussion about the future of work, creativity, and human interaction in an AI-driven world.   Listen in and hear about...

To send us a message go to our website and click the Contact button.   You can find Holly Gramazio at her website https://www.hollygramazio.net/ or on IG at holly_gramazio   When we first heard the premise of Holly Gramazio's novel The Husbands, we were intrigued. A woman's husband goes up to the attic to retrieve something and down comes…a different husband. Wouldn't we all sometimes like to exchange the husband we have for a better, newer, or just different model? Holly turned this idea into a novel that is both funny and thoughtfully considered.

From Clinton's Wrath to AI's Rise: Navigating through the Perma-crisis - with Elie Jacobs

Are we going in the right direction as communicators? In an era of dramatic policy shifts, cultural upheaval, and a fractured media landscape, how do we trudge onward through the muck without losing our way? Weighty questions indeed. In this episode of The Trending Communicator, host Dan Nestle sits down with Elie Jacobs, founding partner of Purposeful Advisors, to tackle the thorny issues facing today's communications professionals. With over two decades of experience in public policy and advocacy, Elie brings a wealth of insights to the table. From his early days in President Clinton's post-presidential office to his current role advising startups and mid-size companies, Elie has witnessed firsthand the evolution of the communications profession. This wide-ranging conversation covers critical topics like the impact of AI on truth and objectivity, the challenges of maintaining purpose in a "perma-crisis" environment, and the delicate balance between business imperatives and societal responsibilities. Elie and Dan discuss the pitfalls of chasing trends versus staying true to core business objectives, and debate the proper role of communicators in shaping corporate policies on contentious issues. Throughout the episode, Elie emphasizes the importance of critical thinking, curiosity, and maintaining perspective in an increasingly polarized world. He argues for a return to fundamentals - focusing on clear business purposes rather than getting caught up in the latest social media firestorms. The discussion also touches on generational divides in the workplace and how early career experiences shape communicators' approaches to risk and decision-making. Whether you're a seasoned PR pro or just starting out in the field, this episode offers valuable food for thought on the current state and future direction of strategic communications. Elie's candid insights and Dan's probing questions combine to create a thought-provoking exploration of our profession's most pressing challenges. Don't miss this opportunity to gain fresh perspective on navigating the complex waters of modern corporate communications. Listen in and hear about...  Navigating the perma-crisis era as a communications professional How early career experiences shape strategic advisory skills Balancing business imperatives with societal responsibilities Critical thinking's vital role in the age of AI-driven information Adapting communication strategies to rapid political shifts Purposeful advising: focusing on a company's core mission Nuanced approaches to diversity and inclusion in corporate settings Notable Quotes On Career Beginnings: "The way I got into this was, you know, just sheer dumb luck. I didn't know what I wanted to do when I finished school. And then 911 happened and I picked up with cliche duffel bag of clothes and a duffel bag of GMAT books and LSAT books and GRE books and went off to Israel to try to figure out what to do." - Elie Jacobs [2:30 - 3:57] On the Path to Communications: "I don't know that. You know, people talk about having a calling, right? Some people have calling calling to the pulpit, regardless of what religion it is. Other people have callings to be doctors, other people have callings to be teachers. I'm not sure I've met anybody who has a calling to be a lawyer. I don't think I've ever met somebody who has a calling to be a public relations or communications specialist." - Elie Jacobs [6:48 - 7:15] On Representing Important Figures: "The only thing that was really said to us was you represent him, which also means you're representing his wife, who was then the senator. So that kind of weighs on you a little bit." - Elie Jacobs [12:36 - 12:45] On Dealing with High-Pressure Situations: "Once Bill Clinton completely loses his temper at you, your perspective on things changes a great deal. He lost it at me because I happened to be. I. I was just in the way." - Elie Jacobs [13:40 - 13:50] On the Importance of Critical Thinking: "Critical thinking is something that we actually have to call out now as something that, okay, we, we really need. Critical thinkers used to be almost a given that, you know, you, one of the reasons why either you are hired for an important job or, or that, you know, when you come out of college or wherever you've been, that, you know, critical thinking is part of the resume." - Dan Nestle [18:56 - 19:19] On the Challenges of Objective Truth in Modern Times: "The concept of objective truth has been shattered over the last 10 years. And it's not just, you know, misinformation and creative hyperbole and truth and, you know, truthful lies or whatever the term was that they came up with in the first Trump administration." - Elie Jacobs [27:04 - 27:18] On the Evolution of Media and Truth: "For the better part of three centuries or more. There were editors who present who basically worked on something that was book length every single day and that was the news." - Elie Jacobs [43:02 - 43:12] On the Role of Purpose in Business: "When we talk about purposeful, we're talking about, we're going to help you figure out what your purpose is. Going back to Simon Sinek's golden circle of why, how and what." - Elie Jacobs [51:43 - 51:52] On the Importance of Business Fundamentals: "There has to be a business imperative. You can only be good for society if you're good at business." - Elie Jacobs [1:05:05 - 1:05:11] Resources and Links Dan Nestle Inquisitive Communications | Website The Trending Communicator | Website Communications Trends from Trending Communicators | Dan Nestle's Substack Dan Nestle | LinkedIn Dan Nestle | Twitter/X Elie Jacobs Purposeful Advisors | Website Elie Jacobs | LinkedIn Timestamped key moments from this episode (as generated by Fireflies.ai)

Krish Ramineni is the co-founder and CEO of Fireflies.ai, an AI-powered meeting assistant used by over 200,000 organizations. A University of Pennsylvania alumnus, he previously served as one of Microsoft's youngest product managers. Krish has been recognized on Forbes' 30 Under 30 list. In this conversation, I wanted to explore more than just how Fireflies became one of the most powerful AI tools. I wanted to understand what it means when machines start writing our stories, mimicking our voices, and sitting in on our most human conversations. Can AI ever truly capture the grit, chaos, and beauty of lived experience—or are we on the verge of losing something essential? We talk about the tension between progress and preservation, and whether the future of storytelling is human, machine—or something in between.Krish and I also dive into the emotional and societal weight of this moment: AI companionship, job displacement, and the possibility of a world where our most personal connections and creative output are filtered through algorithms. If AI can do everything—write, talk, create, even empathise—what's left for us? This isn't just a tech story; it's a human story. And as we stand at the edge of a new era, the real question is: will we still recognise ourselves in the future we're building... and will we want to?Get in touch:Instagram - Instagram.com/davidmcintosh.jrShop Origin Story - www.originstoryclub.com

Faced with today's fractured mess of audiences and media, it's tempting to unleash a deluge of content and overwhelm social channels with content, hoping to reach the people who want to hear from you. Clearly, not a winning strategy - and those who think it is produce nothing more than dull, generic, reputation-breaking AI slop.  But what if the key to success lies in a concept as simple as it is powerful: distinctive discoverability? In this episode of The Trending Communicator, host Dan Nestle sits down with Rob Jekielek, Managing Director of Harris Insights and Analytics, to unpack the critical importance of audience-first strategies in modern communications. With over two decades of experience in brand and reputation research, Rob brings a wealth of knowledge on leveraging data-driven insights to craft compelling narratives that resonate across fragmented audiences. The conversation kicks off with a sojourn into Rob's extensive background, from his early days in media analysis to his current role at the forefront of brand and audience research. Rob shares fascinating insights from recent studies, including a 14-country survey on how people find information about companies and brands. The results? Search engines reign supreme, with a staggering 79% of respondents using them often or always. But it's not just about being found – it's about being trusted. Rob reveals that 77% of people trust the information they get from search engines, a figure that dwarfs trust in other platforms. This leads to a thought-provoking discussion on the concept of "distinctive discoverability" and its crucial role in modern communications strategies. The episode takes an unexpected turn as Rob introduces the idea of AI as a key audience, challenging communicators to consider language models in their stakeholder maps. This fresh perspective opens up new content creation and distribution avenues, with Rob offering practical advice on balancing organic content with paid amplification. Throughout the conversation, Rob and Dan touch on a wide range of topics, from the overreliance on social media to the enduring power of well-crafted, long-form content. They discuss the importance of context and action in building confidence and how digital insights can provide the "strategy scaffolding" often missing in communications planning. This episode is a must-listen for communications professionals looking to cut through the noise and make a real impact. Rob's data-driven approach, combined with Dan's industry expertise, offers a roadmap for navigating the complexities of modern audience engagement. Whether you're a seasoned PR veteran or just starting your communications journey, you'll come away with actionable insights to elevate your strategy and achieve true distinctive discoverability. Listen in and hear about...  Search engines' dominance in finding brand information Importance of distinctive discoverability in digital content Overreliance on social media in corporate communications AI as a new audience for brand messaging Context plus action equaling confidence in business Middle metrics filling the strategy gap for communications Practical takeaways for pitching communications initiatives Notable Quotes On the Power of Search Engines: "So search engines and it's by far margin. Right. So it's like, you know, globally speaking, in aggregate, all 14 countries, 79% of people use search engines often or always, versus never or only sometimes to find information by companies and brands." - Rob Jekielek [13:14 → 13:30] Trust in Information Sources: "What's equally important is that 77% of people who use those tools to find information also trust the information they get back." - Rob Jekielek [13:30 → 13:37] On the Importance of Distinctive Discoverability: "This idea of distinctive discoverability I think is the essential idea. So how do you make sure that whatever we're putting out there is distinctive competitive positioning and how do we ensure that it's built in a way that's organically discoverable?" - Rob Jekielek [17:48 → 18:03] On the Formula for Building Confidence: "The formula is action plus context equals confidence. So we ask people like, how important are these issues, how confident are you? And then how are you seeing companies engaging?" - Rob Jekielek [58:57 → 59:09] The Importance of Context in Communication: "If people are only seeing action, confidence is actually pretty low. It's niche. It's only 25% of people would say they're confident. Right. If you. Same thing. If you see just communication. Right. Just about 25 versus when you add context, not volume, not communication to action, you pop the confidence up to over 50%." - Rob Jekielek [59:16 → 59:36] On the Practical Application of Research: "Honestly, I will say of all the work we're doing right now, one of the things I'm proudest of is a lot of our initial engagements have literally become the business case for how comms leaders pitch what they need to do next." - Rob Jekielek [1:01:10 → 1:01:23] On the Importance of Owned Content: "Build on owned land and all that, all that good stuff. But there's nothing wrong with a good rental property. I will tell you that. It's, it's also important to, to rent wisely." - Dan Nestle [56:44 → 56:54] Resources and Links Dan Nestle Inquisitive Communications | Website The Trending Communicator | Website Communications Trends from Trending Communicators | Dan Nestle's Substack Dan Nestle | LinkedIn Dan Nestle | Twitter/X Rob Jekielek Harris Insights and Analytics - The Harris Poll | Website Rob Jekielek | LinkedIn Timestamped key moments from this episode (as generated by Fireflies.ai)

If change is inevitable, why are we typically so bad at managing it? As businesses navigate digital shifts, mergers, and AI advancements, one crucial group often gets sidelined: employees. Communicators can play a much larger role in managing these key stakeholders during organizational upheaval - and strategically guide organizations through any transition. In this episode of The Trending Communicator, host Dan Nestle welcomes change communications veteran and communications audit expert Lynn Zimmerman, CEO and chief strategist of Swing Communication, to dissect change communications in today's dynamic business world. With a career spanning over 25 years, Lynn has been instrumental in over 40 acquisitions and integrations, ensuring that employees remain at the heart of transformation. In her conversation with Dan, she delivers insights into conducting effective communication audits, the significance of employee-focused strategies during transformative periods, and the impact of AI on internal communications. Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of the differences between internal and change communications, learn strategies for conducting thorough communication audits, and discover how AI can enhance change communications efforts. The discussion also highlights the evolving role of communicators in steering organizational change and offers techniques for engaging employees as vital stakeholders during transitions. Whether you're a communications professional, business leader, or simply curious about organizational change dynamics, this episode is packed with actionable insights. Lynn's expertise, combined with Dan's probing questions, creates a compelling conversation on navigating corporate transformation while keeping employees informed, engaged, and aligned. Listen in and hear about...  Understanding the distinct roles of change communicators and change managers. The importance of communicators being part of the core project team. How AI tools enhance the communication audit process. Conducting communication audits to uncover organizational practices. Strategies for smaller organizations to implement "pulse audits." Aligning company values with leadership actions for change readiness. Why change should have a defined start, middle, and end.   Notable Quotes On the Role of Communicators in Change: "I've always said that one of our superpowers as communicators is that curiosity, the inquisitiveness and the kind of relentless interrogation that we bring to certain projects, hopefully in a good way, where we ask the questions that nobody thinks of or that other people think might be, oh, I don't want to ask a stupid question." - Dan Nestle [12:21 - 12:52] On the Evolution of Change Communication: "I think the recognition that change is important is a big step. And so it's evolving. I worked on a project and this was this corporate acquisition, the first time I was involved in change. And I was working with these project managers who weren't familiar. You know, this was a new process." - Lynn Zimmerman [29:57 → 30:15] On the Importance of Employee Communication: "It's also what a communicator needs to do, which is to speak to your audience in the manner in which they. They prefer to be spoken to. And if you're speaking their language from the get go, you will absolutely have much more success with your message." - Dan Nestle [32:13 - 32:53] The Power of Communication Audits: "I know I have one client that we did an audit a couple years ago and she still carries around the report in her, her work bag because it has so much information that helps her think about how to better communicate with, with her employees." - Lynn Zimmerman [38:29 → 38:46] On the Importance of Values in Change Management: "If you only pull your values out when you're going through a major change, then it's going to confuse people. Or if you throw away your values when you announce a major change, they're going to see that as well and they're not going to believe you." - Lynn Zimmerman [1:01:44 → 1:01:57] The Future of Change Communication: "I think change needs to change. And because change is not going away, and I don't really like the whole change is constant, you know, that's. That's not how change works. Change needs to have a start, middle and end, or else you're just creating chaos within your organization and uncertainty." - Lynn Zimmerman [59:28 → 59:47] On the Role of Internal Communications in Change: "Internal comms has a really big role in change, is making sure that those, that those company values are lived and that they're understood and that people know the vision of the company, what we're trying to accomplish." - Lynn Zimmerman [1:02:05 → 1:02:17] The Challenge for Internal Communications Teams: "In the defense of internal, calm comms folks, it's, they're busy. These people are way too busy. And you know, it's a absolutely. Traditionally underfunded, we're understaffed. And so even adding some of those things are hard. But if you can make the time to do those things, it will help you create a stronger case for doing something new." - Lynn Zimmerman [1:08:46 → 1:09:10]   Resources and Links Dan Nestle Inquisitive Communications | Website The Trending Communicator | Website Communications Trends from Trending Communicators | Dan Nestle's Substack Dan Nestle | LinkedIn Dan Nestle | Twitter/X Lynn Zimmerman Swing Communication | Website Communication Audit Toolkit - Demystifying Communication Audits Lynn Zimmerman | LinkedIn   Timestamped key moments from this episode (as generated by Fireflies.ai)

Send us a textAI expert John Mendes returns to Wealthy AF to reveal the practical AI strategies helping entrepreneurs gain massive competitive advantages. Moving beyond theory, John shares the exact tools creating real business results right now."I need Swiss Army Knives. I don't need a tool for everything," John explains, cutting through the noise of endless AI solutions to focus on high-ROI applications. His recommendations include Fireflies.ai for automatic meeting transcription with action items, Riverside for streamlined content creation, and—surprisingly—ChatGPT as still the most powerful comprehensive solution for most business owners.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when John demonstrates how ChatGPT's newest features extend far beyond text generation. From troubleshooting laptop connection issues on flights to video-calling ChatGPT to analyze the safety of food, these capabilities transform AI from a writing assistant to a multidimensional problem-solver. For real estate investors and entrepreneurs, John reveals how to use ChatGPT to pull property data, analyze market conditions, and develop targeted business strategies.Most powerfully, John shares how entrepreneurs can upload their favorite business books or mentor teachings into ChatGPT, creating personalized 24/7 advisors applying proven principles to their specific circumstances. This approach helps craft offers "so good people feel stupid saying no" and find "blue ocean" opportunities where competition is minimal.The episode concludes with a sobering reminder from Nokia's fall: "We didn't do anything wrong, and yet somehow we still lost." John's warning is clear—those who fail to adopt AI won't be replaced by AI itself, but by competitors who leverage these tools to work smarter and faster.Ready to implement these strategies?
