Nonprofits often describe themselves with a strange sense of pride: “We're the best kept secret.” But in an era where funding is shrinking, donor expectations are shifting, and public trust must be earned every single day, staying a secret is no longer a virtue. It's a liability. So why do so many NGOs still hide behind humility, overwhelm, or the hope that their good work will somehow speak for itself?It's same problem everywhere. Leaders who underestimate the power of strategic communication. Teams overwhelmed by tactical delivery. Fundraisers separated from PR staff. And organizations with extraordinary missions that remain invisible. In this episode, how nonprofits can step out of the shadows, communicate their value with confidence, and build the visibility they need to survive and serve.Listen For5:11 Why doesn't good work speak for itself anymore?10:12 How can NGOs attract top talent without top salaries?18:52 What are the first PR steps for nonprofits to grow visibility?21:04 Answer to Last Week's Question from Cindy LangGuest: Marc WhittWebsite | Email | LinkedIn | XRate this podcast with just one click Follow Farzana on SubstackFollow Doug on SubstackCurzon Substack Stories and Strategies WebsiteCurzon Public Relations WebsiteAre you a brand with a podcast that needs support?

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Senin, 15 Desember 2025Bacaan: "Hai istri, tunduklah kepada suamimu seperti kepada Tuhan. Hai suami, kasihilah istrimu sebagaimana Kristus telah mengasihi jemaat dan telah menyerahkan diri-Nya baginya." (Efesus 5:22, 25)Renungan: Ada sebuah kisah nyata yang terjadi di India. Seorang pria terjangkit penyakit polio saat kecil, sehingga ia tidak bisa berjalan. Sepanjang masa hidupnya, ia hanya duduk di atas kursi roda. Namun ia tidak pernah merasa berbeda dari orang-orang yang lain. la selalu mempertahankan sikap hidup yang positif karena arahan dari ibunya. Dia bahkan mendapat pekerjaan di sebuah bank dengan posisi yang bagus. Suatu ketika saudara laki-lakinya mendaftarkannya di kolom mencari jodoh untuk penyandang disabilitas: Seorang pria berusia 37 tahun dengan pekerjaan di sebuah bank mencari pasangan hidup. Kasta tidak menjadi masalah. Merespons iklannya, datanglah seorang wanita bersama keluarganya. Pada pertemuan pertama mereka, wanita itu menyatakan bahwa dia ingin menikah dengan pria itu. Tangan wanita itu cacat dan dia selalu menutupinya dengan selendang atau 'dupatta'. Dia tidak pernah membiarkan tangannya terlihat di foto mana pun. Mereka pindah ke rumah mereka sendiri setelah mereka memiliki seorang anak. Pria itu berkata, "Jika kami harus berlari di belakang putri kami atau saya perlu meraih sesuatu di rak, dia adalah penyelamat saya dan jika dia membutuhkan bantuan dengan surat-suratnya, tugas bank atau memotong sayuran, saya yang akan ambil alih. Perlahan-lahan, kami bersama-sama membangun hidup kami yang sederhana dan indah." Suatu ketika mereka melakukan perjalanan ke luar negeri yang pertama kali, yaitu ke Swiss. "Istriku sangat ketakutan saat pesawat lepas landas dan mendarat sehingga dia mencengkeram lenganku erat-erat sepanjang waktu. Saya menikmati saat-saat ini setiap menitnya! Jadi kunci dasar dari sebuah pernikahan yang berbahagia adalah: kepercayaan, cinta, dan rasa hormat. Dan kami sudah menjalaninya selama 29 tahun dengan menjadi bagian yang saling melengkapi satu terhadap yang lain. Jadi kalian harus mempercayai kata-kata saya ini!" Kunci rumah tangga yang berbahagia menurut pasangan ini adalah: kepercayaan, cinta dan rasa hormat! Percaya kepada pasangan kita, bahwa dia mengasihi kita dengan tulus dan tidak hanya berlaku manis di depan kita saja. Sang istri percaya bahwa suaminya adalah tempat perlindungan yang aman. Sang suami siap berkorban demi istri dan anak-anaknya. Kasihilah pasangan kita bagaikan kita mengasihi diri kita sendiri dan hormatilah pasangan kita dengan tidak merendahkan kekurangannya. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, berkatilah keluargaku. Hadirlah di tengah-tengah keluargaku sehingga kami saling mengasihi satu dengan yang lain. Amin. (Dod).

Nem toda fé cura.Nem toda espiritualidade liberta.E nem toda crença aproxima você da sua força interior.Neste episódio do ECOTRIMCAST, Marcello Cotrim revela um conceito pouco falado — porém extremamente comum — chamado fé dissociativa: quando a pessoa usa a fé, a esperança ou até a espiritualidade como mecanismo psicológico de fuga, evitando assumir a própria responsabilidade pela vida.Ao longo desta aula profunda e direta, você vai entender:• Por que a fé nem sempre é positiva• Como a esperança pode se tornar um mecanismo de procrastinação• A diferença entre fé verdadeira e fé usada como defesa emocional• Por que “esperar em Deus” muitas vezes é medo de agir• Como a religião reforçou a ideia de um Deus externo para evitar maturidade espiritual• O significado real de presença, responsabilidade e autoria da própria vida• Por que milagre não é favor divino, mas mérito não compreendido• Como a fé verdadeira gera calma, força interna e ação consciente• O perigo do otimismo tóxico e da espiritualidade usada para não crescerMarcello mostra que fé verdadeira não anestesia — ela fortalece.Não paralisa — ela impulsiona.E não transfere responsabilidade — ela devolve você ao centro do próprio poder.Se você sente que está sempre esperando algo mudar, esperando sinais, esperando respostas do externo… este episódio é um divisor de águas.Pare de esperar.Comece a estar presente.Quer começar?

Who's Really Writing the Stories That Shape Our World?This week, we dive into the high-stakes power play unfolding in Hollywood as Netflix and Paramount battle to take over Warner Bros. What looks like a blockbuster business deal is, in fact, a global struggle over who gets to shape the stories that define how we think, feel, and remember.Farzana explores the soft power implications of the deal, asking what happens when control of cultural narratives shifts to private or even foreign-backed hands. Doug examines the potential impact on creators, especially if Netflix, known for tight content licensing, wins control of vast historical archives. David brings in insider chatter from Hollywood, where some fear the deal could spell the end of cinema as we know it.Also in this episode, we unpack why the UK is launching a legal PR offensive to keep English law as the gold standard for global deals and how Singapore is emerging as a serious contender.Plus, is the US hurting its tourism brand with new visa requirements demanding access to social media history? And what can Australia's ban on under-16s using social media teach us about digital policy and parental reality? Listen For3:53 How would this merger reshape global storytelling and soft power?6:58 Why is the UK promoting English law as a global standard?10:12 What makes Singapore law a serious competitor to English law?15:39 Will new US visa rules scare away global travelers and harm tourism?The Week Unspun is a weekly livestream every Friday at 10am ET/3pm BT.

Uma das figuras mais influentes da elite paulista da Primeira República, lembrado oficialmente como político importante, mas silenciosamente apagado pela história, chocou o país ao assassinar a própria filha e tirar a própria vida em seguida. O nome dele era Peixoto Gomide Júnior — um homem respeitado, ligado ao poder e à alta sociedade, cujo passado sombrio só voltou ao debate recentemente, quando a cidade de São Paulo decidiu revisar a homenagem feita a ele em uma de suas ruas. Neste episódio, eu vou te contar quem ele foi de verdade: sua origem, sua trajetória política, as tensões que cercavam sua família e o que o levou a esse desfecho brutal. E, claro, te situar no Brasil daquele período e indicar lugares que você pode visitar hoje para entender melhor esse capítulo da nossa história.Locais mencionados no episódio:Museu do CaféPara contato, parcerias e sugestão de episódios, envie um e-mail para: ⁠passaporteprocrime@gmail.com⁠Se você gosta do Passaporte pro Crime, considere apoiar o projeto via:Orelo: ⁠⁠orelo.cc/passaporteprocrime⁠Apoia.se: https://apoia.se/passaporteprocrimePatreon: patreon.com/PassaporteproCrimePara ficar por dentro de novidades e fofocas da vida da apresentadora, é só seguir:Instagram: @andressaisferTikTok: @andressa.isfer

In every corner of the world the public mood is shifting, sometimes quietly and sometimes all at once. Climate anxiety, pandemic fears, economic pressure, geopolitical tension and a surge in concern about data security have all reshaped what people expect from companies. For organizations trying to build trust across borders the rules keep changing. What mattered in 2019 did not matter in 2021. What mattered last year may not matter next year. And unless communicators understand these shifts they will miss the signals that determine whether a message lands or falls flat.That is why this conversation with Steve Shepperson-Smith is so valuable. Drawing from Vodafone's 75,000+ annual reputation data points and RepTrak's million-strong global dataset, Stephen shares compelling insights on the critical 60/40 split between capability and character, and why the latter matters more than ever in polarized, politicized times.Listen For4:37 What does global data say about what drives reputation today?6:52 Have public views on social and environmental issues shifted?8:41 Are ESG and DEI labels now hurting more than helping?10:57 Why is data security now a top consumer concern?16:38 How can brands stay local in a divided global landscape?20:40 Answer to Last Episode's Question from Andy WestGuest: Steve Shepperson-Smith, VodaphoneLinkedInRate this podcast with just one click Follow Farzana on SubstackFollow Doug on SubstackCurzon Substack Stories and Strategies WebsiteCurzon Public Relations WebsiteAre you a brand with a podcast that needs support?

2 REIS 5 B

Most agencies can tell you how their clients are doing but ask how they are doing and the room gets quiet. The truth is that even the best run firms skip their own checkups. Margins thin out, teams burn out, and culture drifts while the spotlight stays fixed on the next pitch. But what if agencies treated their operations the way a doctor treats a patient, tracking vital signs, diagnosing problems early, and prescribing real solutions before things spiral.From hidden symptoms to running a full-scale agency fitness test, in this episode we look at what separates a healthy firm from one that just looks good on paper.  Listen For3:56 What vital signs show if your agency is healthy or just surviving?5:25 Are agency leaders really surprised by their own problems?8:57 Is AI a threat or a tool for agencies to grow?12:25 What four pillars make an agency profitable and strong?18:15 What aha moment helped an agency turn things around?20:03 Answer to Last Episode's Question from Lionel ZetterGuest: Andy West, West of CenterWebsite | Email | LinkedIn | X | Substack Rate this podcast with just one click Follow Farzana on SubstackFollow Doug on SubstackCurzon Substack Stories and Strategies WebsiteCurzon Public Relations WebsiteAre you a brand with a podcast that needs support?

Hai Wonder Kids, kembali dalam renungan anak GKY Mangga besar. Judul renungan hari ini adalahAPA YANG KAMU HARAPKAN?Mari kita membaca Firman Tuhan dariMAZMUR 18: 30Adapun Allah, jalan-Nya sempurna; janji TUHAN adalah murni; Dia menjadi perisai bagi semua orang yang berlindung pada-NyaWonder Kids, pernahkah kamu mendengar cerita ini?Ada seorang pria yang merasa rumahnya terlalu sepi, jadi dia pergi ke toko hewan peliharaan untuk membeli burung parkit yang bisa bernyanyi. Pemilik toko memberinya burung yang sesuai, dan pria itu membelinya.Keesokan harinya, pria itu pulang ke rumah dan mendengar burungnya bernyanyi. Namun, saat memberi makan burung itu, dia baru sadar bahwa burungnya hanya punya satu kaki. Pria itu kecewa dan menelepon toko untuk protes.Pemilik toko bertanya, “Apa yang kamu inginkan? Burung yang bisa bernyanyi atau burung yang bisa menari?”Pertanyaan ini penting untuk kita pikirkan.Allah selalu menjawab doa kita, tetapi kadang jawaban-Nya tidak seperti yang kita harapkan. Ketika itu terjadi, kita perlu bertanya pada diri sendiri: “Apa sebenarnya yang kita inginkan?” Ingatlah bahwa Allah hanya ingin yang terbaik bagi kita. Jadi, jika jawaban Allah berbeda dari harapan kita, mungkin kita perlu mengubah harapan kita.MARI KITA BERTUMBUH DI DALAM ANUGERAH TUHANWonder Kids, kekecewaan bisa sepahit buah lemon. Minta sekelompok orang dewasa menolongmu membuat limun. Coba rasakan lemon yang baru selesai diperas. Bagaimana rasanya? Asam? Kemudian coba rasakan lemon yang telah ditambah dengan gula dan es batu. Bagaimana? Sekarang rasanya lebih enak bukan? Sama seperti ketika kita menambahkan kasih Allah pada kekecewaan kita, hal itu bisa berubah menjadi berkat!Mari kita berdoaBapa yang baik, terima kasih atas jalan-Mu yang sempurna. Ajar aku untuk selalu percaya kepada-Mu dan mengikuti Firman-Mu. Lindungilah aku dan kasih-Mu selalu menyertai langkahku. Dalam nama Tuhan Yesus aku berdoa, Amin.Wonder Kids, ALLAH SELALU MEMBERIKAN JALAN YANG SEMPURNA DAN MELINDUNGI KITA DALAM SETIAP LANGKAH. Tuhan Yesus memberkati

This week, we look into the murky ethics of media leaks and their growing role in shaping political, corporate, and cultural narratives. From leaked peace plans that spark international diplomacy to budget details released minutes before parliamentary debate, we dissect whether leaks are ethical whistleblowing or manipulative PR tactics. Farzana argues that leaks often reveal broken internal cultures, while Doug, from a journalistic perspective, explores how leaks are used to test narratives and steer public perception. Also in this episode, David wonders if written reports are becoming relics in a world obsessed with video and visual storytelling.  And we ask: Can AI help restore strategic thinking in PR? And should public relations finally be regulated like other professions?  Watch/Listen For1:45 How will AI reshape PR, tactically or strategically?5:36 Should PR be regulated like law or finance?9:28 Are media leaks ethical, or just PR strategy?14:33 Can visual storytelling replace traditional comms?22:04 Are algorithms killing media access for everyone?The Week Unspun is a weekly livestream every Friday at 10am ET/3pm BT.

Trust isn't built in boardrooms or over Zoom. It's built in the quiet moments. A conversation that lingers, a promise kept, a drink shared between people who still believe words matter. In this episode, we explore how the foundations of influence have shifted from handshakes to hyperlinks, and what that means for anyone trying to shape opinion or policy in a world that's forgotten how to connect.You'll hear stories from inside the world of public affairs, where relationships once forged in the late hours of party conferences now play out on screens and social feeds. We unpack why the human side of persuasion still decides who gets heard, who gets trusted, and who gets left behind. Because in the end, every message, every movement, and every bit of influence still comes down to people.Listen For6:42 Can you build real relationships online?9:13 Is polarization killing cross-party lobbying?12:52 Are autocrats on the rise?15:00 How is public affairs different from stakeholder work?16:05 Answer to Last Episode's Question from Guest Nick UsborneGuest: Lionel ZetterWebsite | X | LinkedIn Lionel's new book The Lobbyist Rate this podcast with just one click Follow Farzana on SubstackFollow Doug on SubstackCurzon Substack Stories and Strategies WebsiteCurzon Public Relations WebsiteAre you a brand with a podcast that needs support?

Or is it being pushed?  This episode of The Week Unspun unpacks a chaotic week in media and politics with sharp insight from PR veterans Farzana Baduel, David Gallagher, Doug Downs, and special guest Adrian Monck.

In public relations, success often depends on one quiet skill: knowing how to adapt. The best communicators read the room, sense the temperature, and adjust their tone without losing their message. In this episode, we explore what it really means to be a PR chameleon – someone who can blend into the cultural landscape enough to connect, yet still stand out enough to be remembered. Jessica Hope, founder of Wimbart, has built one of Africa's most respected tech PR agencies by mastering that balance. From WhatsApp-based storytelling to navigating privilege, identity, and power across 54 distinct markets, Jessica reveals how empathy, adaptability, and emotional intelligence have become the true currencies of influence in global communications. Listen For4:36 How Do You Break the “One Africa” Myth in PR?7:40 What Is Emotional Intelligence in African Business?9:22 How Do Comms Channels Differ in Africa?12:06 Should Brands Adjust Their Values in Africa?16:26 What's Africa's Media Landscape Really Like?18:30 Answer to Last Episode's Question from Jo JamiesonGuest: Jessica Hope, WimbartWebsite | Contact Page | Email | LinkedIn | X | InstagramChimamanda Ngozi Adichie Ted Talk Farzana mentionedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9Ihs241zeg  Rate this podcast with just one click Follow Farzana on SubstackFollow Doug on SubstackCurzon SubstackStories and Strategies WebsiteCurzon Public Relations WebsiteAre you a brand with a podcast that needs support?

Guest host Kim Sample, President of the PR Council, joins Doug Downs and David Gallagher to explore what this means for the future of work in PR.From there, the trio digs into listener-submitted questions on everything from Apple's conspicuous silence in the podcasting space, to why PR professionals struggle with personal branding, how fairness is driving consumer outrage, gender representation in politics, and the surprising TikTok-fueled backlash to a Halloween ad campaign from Hatch Sleep.Audio Episode Chapters 1:51 What is a “synthetic FTE” and how is AI reshaping PR teams 4:29 Are brands finally taking owned content like blogs and podcasts seriously 8:11 Does Apple still care about podcasts or is their silence a statement 13:05 Why do PR pros struggle with confidence and self promotion 21:03 Does visibility for women in politics actually equal shared power Video Episode Chapters1:54 What is a “Synthetic FTE” and How Will AI Change PR Teams? 5:16 Are Brands Finally Getting Serious About Owned Media and Podcasts? 10:51 Does Apple Still Care About Podcast?

Dr. Pria Anand joins Google to discuss her book, "The Mind Electric: A Neurologist on the Strangeness and Wonder of Our Brains." The book demonstrates the compelling paradox at the heart of neurology; that even the most peculiar symptoms can show us something universal about ourselves as humans. Dr. Anand is a neurologist at the Boston Medical Center and an Assistant Professor at the Boston University School of Medicine. She is a graduate of Yale University and Stanford Medical School, and she trained in neurology, neuro-infectious diseases, and neuroimmunology at Johns Hopkins Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital.

What do a billionaire climate pivot, AI-fueled layoffs, and a scandalous Italian election have in common? They all got the PR treatment in this episode.  Farzana Baduel, David Gallagher, and Doug Downs peel back the media layers behind some of the week's most buzzworthy stories, from Bill Gates' controversial “climate realism” memo and its impact on corporate sustainability narratives, to Amazon's AI-framed mass layoffs and what that messaging means for employer branding.  They also take a wildly entertaining detour into Italian politics where ex-lovers are facing off at the polls, with leaked documents and social media drama in full swing.  Add in royal baseball cap faux-pas and you've got a sharp, witty, and deeply PR-savvy breakdown of the week's biggest headlines. Listen For:58 Is Bill Gates backtracking? Or just reframing climate change?7:54 How is Amazon using AI to spin layoffs as progress?13:43 How does branding tie into an Italian political scandal?16:05 What if your opponent knows all your political secrets?19:26 Did Prince Harry's hat choice betray Canada?The Week Unspun is a weekly livestream every Friday at 10am ET/3pm BT.

CAFÉ EM PROSA #232 - Do cacau ao café: Produtoras rurais de Colatina lançam a própria marca de café

We live in a moment where artificial intelligence can write our emails, plan our meetings, even give us life advice. But here's the problem: these systems are often too agreeable for our own good. They're less like truth tellers and more like digital echo chambers. They nod along, validate our choices, and tell us exactly what we want to hear. To use an outdated term… GenAI is too often like a Yes Man.In this episode we're looking at the rise of sycophancy in generative AI, the tendency of machines to flatter us instead of challenging us. What does this mean for employees, for leaders, and especially for communicators who rely on AI as a tool? And how do we make sure our AI mirrors are giving us clarity, not just compliments? Listen For3:49 Is ChatGPT too nice for our own good?6:55 Can AI flattery mislead leaders?8:52 Do AIs just tell you what you want to hear?14:36 Is generative AI breaking social unity?20:45 Answer to Last Episode's Question from Mark Lowe Guest: Tina McCorkindale, PhDWebsite | LinkedIn | Google Scholar ProfileLink to Tina's LinkedIn article on The Danger of Sycophancy in GenAICheck out the IPR Video Series In a Car with IPR Rate this podcast with just one click Stories and Strategies WebsiteCurzon Public Relations WebsiteAre you a brand with a podcast that needs support?

Can a cyclist-turned (accused) communist New York mayoral candidate teach the PR world a thing or two about emotional storytelling?  This week we unpack the “Mamdani effect” how Zohran Mamdani is rewriting the rules of political communications with cultural fluency, TikTok charm, and unforgettable soundbites.  Other topics, what are the comms implications of the Omnicom-IPG mega-merger, and what is the likely impact on agency identities, client retention, and the war for talent? From Alberta, Canada… a Teacher's Stike and the Government is paying parents. Is that to help them manage or is it a PR bribe? Are there ethical implications here? Listen For:34 What makes Mamdani a standout communicator?3:10 Can Mamdani's social strategy work outside NYC?10:00 What's the real impact of the Omnicom-IPG merger?14:55 Is Alberta's $30/day tactic good PR or spin?18:49 Are PR communities key in turbulent times? The Week Unspun is a weekly livestream every Friday at 10am ET/3pm BT.

How do you win attention when the competition is everything else in the feed? How do you turn fleeting visibility into lasting credibility?

The call for better measurement in public relations is not new. For decades, leaders in the field have warned that counting impressions, likes, and advertising value equivalents is not enough. Yet here we are, still leaning on the same empty numbers while the C-suite is asking for proof of outcomes that matter.  The urgency has been with us for years, but too often the industry has not listened to its own advice.  We aren't listening to ourselves! Now, as budgets are cut and communications teams risk being sidelined, the pressure to finally get measurement right has never been greater. Richard Bagnall is recognized as one of the world's foremost experts in PR measurement, past chair of AMEC, and co-creator of the Integrated Evaluation Framework. He has worked with global organizations from NATO to the World Bank and continues to remind practitioners that vanity metrics will not protect their budgets or their jobs.  Listen For4:48 Why does PR measurement matter now?7:27 What are outputs, outtakes, and outcomes?11:41 How do you measure with no budget?14:05 What is “crawl, walk, run”?18:40 Jonathan Mast's answer to last episode's question?Guest: Richard BagnallX | LinkedIn   Rate this podcast with just one click Stories and Strategies WebsiteCurzon Public Relations WebsiteApply to be a guest on the podcastConnect with usLinkedIn | X | Instagram | You Tube | Facebook | Threads | Bluesky | PinterestRequest a transcript of this episodeSupport the show

Now, with AI-driven tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity shaping how people find information, the game is shifting to AEO (Answer Engine Optimization).Instead of tricking algorithms, brands need to prove expertise, authority, and trustworthiness at every turn. To stay discoverable, we need to craft smarter prompts, produce content that actually engages, and choose the right AI tools for visibility. AI is rewriting the rules of credibility and your PR efforts might get left behind. Listen For5:32 What's the difference between SEO, AEO, and GEO?8:32 Is Google losing its dominance in the search space to tools like ChatGPT?11:24 Can AI-generated thought leadership be trusted?13:28How should PR professionals train AI tools to deliver better content results?18:19 Answer to Last Episode's Question from Susana MendozaGuest: Jonathan MastWebsite | Email | X | Facebook Rate this podcast with just one click Stories and Strategies WebsiteCurzon Public Relations WebsiteAre you a brand with a podcast that needs support?

Getting Hispanic communications wrong is not just a slip. It can cost brands credibility, trust, and millions in wasted campaigns. Too often, companies think a simple translation is enough, only to find their carefully crafted message falls flat or even offends the very audience they are trying to reach.

What happens when your newsfeed becomes a battlefield?In the US and UK, political leaders trade accusations, social media thrives on outrage, and communities are left simmering in distrust. What used to be disagreements over policy now look more like open hostility, with violence creeping closer to the center of public life. Attacks on lawmakers, threats to schools, and the killing of high-profile figures are no longer shocking outliers but part of a troubling pattern.This episode asks a difficult but urgent question: how much of this violence is rooted in the way we communicate? Words frame identities, assign blame, and sometimes push people toward radical action. Sticks and stones may break bones… but in today's world, it's the words that are drawing blood. Listen For3:17 Identity-Based Polarization6:22 How Algorithms Divide Us10:20 The Rush to Blame14:49 Messaging That Can Prevent Violence19:33 Teaching Kids to Resist Radicalization and DisinformationGuest: Amy PateEmail | Website | X Rate this podcast with just one click Stories and Strategies WebsiteCurzon Public Relations WebsiteApply to be a guest on the podcastConnect with usLinkedIn | X | Instagram | You Tube | Facebook | Threads | Bluesky | PinterestRequest a transcript of this episodeSupport the show

Our brains can feel remote and abstract. Hidden behind Latin names and textbook diagrams, they rarely feel as personal to us as our hearts and stomachs. In this episode, neurologist and author Pria Anand helps us get a little more intimate with that grey, wrinkly seat of our consciousness.Together we explore both the structural architecture and the musical synchronies of the brain. We travel across the left and the right brain, "listen" to the meaning of different brain waves, and discuss some of the most perplexing examples from the annals of neuroscience. What emerges is not just an intimate journey through the organ that makes us who we are, but also an exploration on the meaning of pain, identity, and storytelling.As always, we finish with my guest's reflection on humanity.

Google Search still holds about 90% of global search volume as of mid‑2025, but change is underway as more users begin turning to AI. AI search is rewriting the rules of discovery, and PR needs to adapt. With ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity each scraping different corners of the web, the old focus on big-name publications is no longer enough. The most influential sources may now be niche review sites, specialized forums, or content hubs you have never pitched. Knowing what each Large Language Model (LLM) values and how to optimize for it, is becoming a core PR skill.In this episode, we explore how Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is reshaping PR. From the rise of “dual websites” for humans and bots to the ethical tensions between LLMs and media outlets, we discuss how PR teams can rethink targeting, adapt content, and position clients for visibility in an AI‑first world. Listen For5:49 Dual Websites: One for Humans, One for Machines8:39 LLMs as New Media Channels11:38 What AI Tools Scrape (and Why It Matters)14:45 Can Bots Get Past Paywalls?

More women are now leaving the PR industry because of perimenopause and menopause than because of childbirth. That's a staggering, often invisible, that's shift happening right at the top. It's not burnout or work-life balance pushing them out, but a phase of life that's rarely acknowledged and even more rarely supported.This episode is an unflinching conversation about the real pressures senior women face. Why is menopause still a taboo topic at work? How misunderstood are its impacts on confidence, performance, and retention? And what must organizations and agencies do to support their best talent before they quietly walk away? Listen For4:22 The Invisible Workplace Crisis7:01 The “Rush Hour” of Women's Lives10:01 Emotions, Gender, and Professionalism13:37 Finding Balance in Psychological Safety18:53 Answer to Last Episode's Question from Fred CookGuest: Heather Blundell, CEO GraylingWebsite | X | LinkedIn | EmailStories and Strategies WebsiteCurzon Public Relations WebsiteApply to be a guest on the podcastConnect with usLinkedIn | X | Instagram | You Tube | Facebook | Threads | Bluesky | PinterestRequest a transcript of this episodeSupport the show
