She was the second employee at HGTV, its co-founder, and its former chief operating officer. HGTV became Scripps Networks Interactive when they created new brands and platforms. She helped build these businesses to a market value of over $15 billion. Susan left the corporate media world to become a writer, mentor, and a leadership speaker.

TarcherPerigee (Penguin Random House) published her first book NEW RULES OF THE GAME: 10 Strategies for Women in the Workplace in 2015 and her second book FULLY HUMAN: Three Steps to Grow Your Emotional Fitness in Work, Leadership and Life in 2019.

If you can hear the opening music for “Car Talk”, “Morning Edition” or “All Things Considered,” you gotta know that being the Chief Marketing Officer for NPR like Michael Smith, my guest on the Friday Fireside this week, is the coolest job in the world! And after 20 years at Scripps Networks Interactive (acquired by Discovery Inc), Michael has a LOT to say about where Warner Bros. Discovery is going, along with Paramount Plus, HBOMax and Peacock.
My guest on the show today is Adam Symson, the CEO of E.W. Scripps. Scripps is a 1.45 billion dollar market cap company that owns and operates local and national television stations. The company was founded in 1878 and over the years has operated within a number of different media businesses. The company spun off its cable TV business, Scripps Networks Interactive, in 2008 and then exited the newspaper business in 2015. These transactions served to focus the company more on its local TV business. However, since becoming CEO in 2017, Adam has led an aggressive acquisition campaign that has created a large and differentiated National Media segment whose stations mainly operate over-the-air. The Scripps management team anticipated that cable TV subscribers would continue to cut the cord and through these acquisitions has positioned the company to benefit as more people choose to watch TV via an antenna. Given all of the M&A activity and the dynamic nature of the pay-TV environment, I was excited to talk to Adam about: - How competition from digital ad platforms like Facebook are impacting local TV advertising; - The value of having a background in investigative journalism; - The rationale for the pace of acquisitions that have occurred during his tenure; - What it is like to work for a 100+ year old, family-controlled company; and - How Scripps develops win-win relationships with its various stakeholders This episode of Compounders: The Anatomy of a Multibagger is sponsored by Tegus, an innovative and disruptive company that is changing the way professional investors work.

What traits do we want to grow in our students so that they can flourish in a world where work may and likely will be very different? That’s the central question we ask in this Open to Learn Episode. We’re very happy to have Chris Powell, CEO and founder of Talmetrix, on this podcast. Talmetrix is a feedback and analytics company that helps organizations produce and leverage insights to improve employee and organizational performance. Given Chris’s background and knowledge on the workforce, we thought it’d be fun to talk about how education might be shaping kids for the future of work. I’m changing things up a bit for this interview. Joining me in the interview is my good friend Keith Millard. Keith is superintendent of Batavia Local Schools and a big picture thinker. His perspectives are quite helpful in this fun exchange of ideas and concepts. Chris PowellCEO of TalmetrixChris is an HR veteran with over 20 years of enabling high performing companies such as Deloitte, Marriott International, Voya and Scripps Networks Interactive. He brings this experience to Talmetrix to develop technology-enabled solutions that help improve engagement, performance, retention and business outcomes. Chris understands the dynamic relationship of how the employee experience impacts organizational performance and outcomes. Keith MillardSuperintendent of Batavia Local Schools SchoolsKeith serves as the superintendent of Batavia Local Schools. Keith has many years of experience as a classroom teacher, a building administrator, and a district leader. Professionally, his interests are in education policy and growing students. Other interests include music, technology, and learning. The one theme that emerges repeatedly in this episode is curiosity. Chris emphasizes the need for education to not just focus on the “what” when learning, but the “why”. That’s what is required of tomorrow’s workforce. And, arguably, required to fulfill our lives as humans. Fun Conversation Points and Questions in this Episode The importance of logic and reasoning in your everyday individual looking for a job. We need students to think logically and creatively. How do we find a balance between two sides of the brain? Do we need to find balance? It appears that state based accountability systems do a poor job of capturing / measuring the qualities needed for students to flourish in future job environments. What, then, should policy makers do? What do employers look for? The three Es. Education, experience, and exposure. Do we want to define success in education purely on the ability to become a worker and contributing to growth / GDP? What should the purpose of education be? What is the 5th Industrial Revolution? Does college really matter? (Yes. They help with learning agility.) How do we and our students handle distractions? How do we make all work meaningful? Can we? (Chris thinks we can.)
