Plus, what this means for talent, the future of the C-suite, and whether entire companies could soon be built on fractional models - hosted by Michelle Martin.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Podcasting got a seat at the grown-up’s table at South by SouthWest for the first time, smack in middle of Women's History Month. So Insider Interviews captured content from three women also making strides in media, during Podcast Movement Evolutions. I spoke with these media powerhouses at The Podcast Academy / Sounds Profitable co-sponsored booth to talk about building: businesses, communities, the future of media itself…and building up women everywhere. Learn from: the co-founder of a startup modernizing how print and out-of-home are bought and sold, a global communications CEO who has built her career on making messaging move people, and one of the new forces behind podcasting's growing presence itself. Mach on Modernizing “Premium” Media for a New Era Beth Mach, Co-Founder & COO of Spacely Media, introduces the first transactional marketplace for premium media — giving print, out-of-home, and venue advertising the digital infrastructure it’s never had. “Buying in those channels today still looks like it did 20 years ago — lots of PDFs, lots of phone calls. Spacely closes that gap.” Their platform replaces friction with functionality, and dashboards instead of PDFs. Like Neil Vogel, in my recent episode with the People, Inc. CEO, Mach is bullish on magazines and makes the case for why brands are coming back to these channels. She also explains why credibility wins the room when you’re raising money. It shouldn’t be different as a female founder. But… “Every founder meets skepticism. When you are female, it adds another layer — especially when the room has historically looked a little different.” — Beth Mach Lund on Messaging to and for Humans Wendy Lund, Global CEO of Allison Worldwide and returning Insider Interviews guest (exactly one year later!), reflects on her path from women's health advocacy to leading a global agency — and what she's building now. Her path ran from a master’s in women’s history to nonprofit marketing, to running a global agency. With her move to Global CEO of Allison Worldwide and Vice Chair of health at parent company Stagwell, Wendy described her enthusiasm for Allison's strengths, across campaigns, media/influencer, and experiential. She reinforces the importance of listening, purpose-driven work, and addressing ongoing inequities in women's health and mental health. “My favorite value has always been belonging. Do your customers feel like they’re part of something? To me, that is so sticky.” Her advice for building brand love in a fragmented media world is deceptively simple: be real, and build belonging. She's also clear-eyed about the disconnect between how much we talk about innovation — and how much attention women's health actually gets: “AI is on the tip of everybody's tongue — but at the end of the day, it's also steeped in emotion. And we're 51% of the population. That means we should get 51% of the attention.” — Wendy Lund DeMellier Sounds Like an Inspiration Molly DeMellier, Head of Communications at Sounds Profitable, gives an insider's scoop on the organization helping shape podcasting's growing presence at SXSW and beyond. She points to the combined strengths of the co-founders: Bryan Barletta's (“terrifying”) encyclopedic industry brain and Tom Webster's research engine, along with her own expanding role shaping panel strategy, supporting retainer clients, and helping partners amplify their stories. Molly describes Sounds Profitable place in podcasting as building community and connection through events, networking, research, and partner support, emphasizing that “Podcasting is really taking off and it’s the people that power it.” But, noting the industry's representation gap, takes her role seriously when working on events like Podcast Movement, pondering “who do I put on stage that’s going to inspire that next person” to know they can see themselves podcasting. And she closes with something that sticks: her belief that women shouldn’t have to choose between a career and a family — and why she’s determined to make sure the next generation sees women in power. “A big fear I have is that women will leave professions not by choice, but by force. And my biggest fear is what about the children who see their mom who didn’t have a choice?” — Molly DeMellier This is Episode 50 in Season 2. I think it sounds like a milestone worth celebrating. Key Moments & Time Codes 00:00 — How Podcast Movement Evolutions made its first-ever appearance at SXSW 00:53 — Beth Mach explains why Spacely calls it premium media — and why that reframe matters for the industry 04:50 — Beth explains how buying a print ad in 2025 still works the way it did 20 years ago — and how Spacely is finally changing that 09:40 — Why print titles that shut down years ago are quietly relaunching — and what that signals for brands 14:55 — On fundraising as a female founder: the extra layer of skepticism, and how clarity of purpose cuts through it 16:30 — Wendy Lund returns one year later as Global CEO of Allison Worldwide — what changed, and why she missed agency life 22:21 — What Wendy learned going in-house at Organon: the difference between talking at women and actually listening to them 23:16 — Women’s health today: the innovations gaining ground and the conditions still being undertreated 27:35 — How Sounds Profitable brought the podcast industry to SXSW — and why community-building is at the core of everything they do 30:57 — What Sounds Profitable partners get: industry counsel, audience research expertise, and Molly’s evangelism that helps all boats rise! 34:59 — Closing thought as a woman in business: rising childcare costs are pushing women out of the workforce not by choice, but by force.

"There is no White Knight coming to save you." My former boss Lindsay Pattison said this to me recently, and it landed hard. Lindsay was global CEO of Maxus, part of Mark Read's core WPP team, running a global agency network at what she calls "200 miles an hour." At that speed, you don't have time to question whether you're going in the right direction. You just go. Until the day she realized: this pace was making decisions for her. So she did something radical. She chose to pause. Not because she had to. Because she wanted agency over what came next. The conversation we had about this decision is one of the most honest I've recorded. It's about: * What it really means to have agency when you're at the top (it's not what you think) * The responsibility that comes with leadership that nobody talks about * How to make massive life decisions without certainty * What happens when you stop running and start choosing This is exactly why I'm launching the new series Mojo Under Fire - conversations about the crucible moments that forge great leaders Remember to subscribe to be notified about new episodes.

It's World Space Week and in this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we're looking at sustainability on the final frontier in an interview with Spire Global CEO Theresa Condor. Spire Global uses satellites the size of wine bottles to collect data in space that helps solve problems on Earth, ranging from climate to weather forecasting to global security. Theresa says use cases for the company's technology are expanding rapidly as satellite technology advances “at an exponential pace.” "We're seeing something like 10x improvements in technology every five years,” she says. This rapid growth means the need for good governance and sustainability strategies is rising. Spire Global is a member of the Sustainable Markets Initiative (SMI) and Theresa explains how the group is focused on sustainability in space through its Astra Carta initiative, which aims to shape a future of responsible and sustainable space exploration, development and cooperation. “People are trying to figure out what is the right level of regulation that continues to protect the space environment,” she says, while also allowing innovation to flourish. This episode is the latest in our Terra Carta Series of the All Things Sustainable podcast in collaboration with the SMI. The SMI is a network of over 250 global CEOs across finance and industry, including S&P Global. SMI facilitates private sector diplomacy with the ambition of making sustainability the driving force of global markets and value creation. Throughout 2025, we're interviewing SMI member CEOs from around the world and across industries about how they're approaching sustainability challenges and opportunities.

Daniel Lewis has witnessed legal technology's evolution from multiple vantage points that few others can claim. As a Stanford law student in 2012, he and classmate Nik Reed co-founded the legal research startup Ravel Law with the audacious goal of taking on LexisNexis and Westlaw using machine learning and data analytics – at a time when such challengers were few and far between. Not only was Ravel Law pioneering in its own right, but it also spearheaded and funded the Caselaw Access Project, an ambitious partnership with Harvard Law School's Library Innovation Lab to digitize and provide free and open access to every official court decision ever published in the United States. After Ravel's acquisition by LexisNexis in 2017, Lewis spent the next five years leading product teams within the legal research giant, including as vice president and general manager of its Practical Guidance and analytics products. This dual perspective – startup founder turned corporate executive – helped shape his understanding of what works and what doesn't when building technology for lawyers. Today, as CEO and global chief executive of LegalOn Technologies, Lewis leads a 600-person company that is tackling contract review with a fundamentally different approach. Rather than relying solely on tech-enabled services or raw AI that can hallucinate legal advice, LegalOn combines large language models with attorney-developed playbooks to help in-house legal teams achieve up to 85% time savings on contract review. The company just raised $50 million, for a total raise of $200 million across multiple funding rounds – which Lewis says makes it the most well-funded AI company focused on in-house contract review – and announced a strategic partnership with OpenAI to develop AI agents for legal workflows. In this wide-ranging conversation, Lewis shares hard-won insights about the realities of legal tech entrepreneurship, from the "deranged" confidence required to challenge industry giants as a law student to the leadership lessons learned managing teams through multiple business transformations. He discusses why the current moment represents the most significant opportunity for legal tech innovation in decades, how AI agents will reshape routine legal work, and what he's learned about building technology that lawyers don't just try once but actually integrate into their daily practices.

This year's ILTACON, which starts later this week, marks the second anniversary of Harbor, a global expert services company formed through the merger of three long-established legal consulting firms: HBR Consulting, LAC Group, and Wilson Allen, and that formally launched at ILTACON in 2023. The company, which counts among its clients some 80% of the 200 largest global law firms and 50% of the Fortune 500, has been making waves ever since, further expanding its services, making additional acquisitions, and scoring some notable hires to its executive team, all culminating in the news in June that it had received a majority investment from BayPine LP, a private investment firm devoted to driving digital transformation in market-leading businesses. Part of what makes Harbor particularly interesting is that it sits at the intersection of corporate law departments, law firms, and technology providers – helping all three get more value from their partnerships. A key focus of the company's consulting services has been artificial intelligence and on helping organizations prepare their data and infrastructures to support the use of AI. Our guest today is the CEO of Harbor, Matt Sunderman, who before the merger was CEO of HBR Consulting and, earlier, president of its advisory services. In their conversation, Matt and host Bob Ambrogi explore Harbor's mission to provide legal departments with end-to-end solutions that span strategy, legal technology, operations, and intelligence. They also discuss the current state of digital transformation in legal – from the opportunities and obstacles around generative AI adoption to the surprising reality that many firms are still only 10 to 40 percent cloud-enabled, and Sunderman offers his perspective on what law firms and corporate legal departments should be doing today to prepare for the next decade.
