Podcasts about Sundial

Julie Zhuo is the former VP of Product Design at Facebook, where she rose from intern to executive as the company scaled into a global powerhouse. Renowned for her human-centered approach to leadership, Julie is the co-founder of Sundial, a startup that leverages data and AI to help companies make better decisions. She's also the bestselling author of "The Making of a Manager," an essential guide for new managers navigating the changing landscape of leadership. Julie is passionate about building thoughtful cultures, empowering people, and tackling big, meaningful problems with teams she loves. Takeaways: Managers (and Leaders) Aren't Born, They're Made: Julie stresses that effective management is a skill that can be learned and developed—what matters most is a desire for growth, self-awareness, and the willingness to focus on team outcomes rather than just individual output. The Power of Culture and Removing Toxins: Julie highlights the importance of a healthy team culture and the danger of tolerating toxic behaviors—even from high performers—because doing so stifles the potential of the whole group. AI Is Redefining Leadership: As AI and automation increasingly handle outputs, the value of managers will be in guiding teams through change, reinforcing core human values, and focusing on outcomes that matter most. Sound Bites: “The most important thing is to put people first, because nobody can do anything amazing on their own.” “Feedback is a gift—being direct, open, and supportive is what drives growth in a team.” “The one thing you should never tolerate on your team is the asshole; their presence will always limit your culture and your people.” Connect & Discover Julie: Website: https://www.juliezhuo.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joulee/?hl=en X: https://x.com/joulee?lang=en Substack: https://substack.com/@joulee?utm_source=global-search Book: The Making of a Manager: What to Do When Everyone Looks at You

Send us a textWhat happens when you return to your hometown to make a movie about toxic masculinity set in a remote cabin? Filmmaker Max Kleiber reveals the fascinating journey behind his debut feature "Rattlin Bog" - a satirical horror-comedy born from a COVID-era short film experiment that evolved into something much bigger.Growing up in Northern California with no artists in his family, Kleiber initially pursued medicine before finally admitting his secret passion for filmmaking. After studying Communication (not Film) at Biola University and working various production jobs in Los Angeles, he made the strategic decision to shoot his feature in his hometown. The stunning Northern California landscapes provided million-dollar backdrops essentially for free, while community connections offered everything from locations to accommodations that would have been impossible to secure in LA.Kleiber's funding approach proves particularly illuminating for aspiring filmmakers. Using WeFunder, an equity crowdfunding platform, he enabled community members to become actual investors in his film for as little as $100 - transforming local doctors, lawyers, and everyday supporters into stakeholders with skin in the game. This democratized approach bypassed traditional gatekeepers while creating a passionate support network.The film itself examines male competition and power dynamics through the story of three friends at a secluded cabin, with Lauren caught between two men vying for dominance. Kleiber describes his approach as "whistling in the dark" - making audiences laugh during deeply uncomfortable situations. His experiences at regional film festivals like Sundial and Film Fort challenge conventional wisdom about the importance of major festivals, suggesting smaller venues often provide more meaningful connections.Between creative projects, Kleiber sustains himself by tagging films for ShotDeck - a visual reference database - allowing him flexible income while absorbing cinematic techniques that enhance his directorial vision. His perspective on Hollywood's evolution suggests we're witnessing not just an ending but a transformation, with filmmaking talent now flourishing across multiple platforms from YouTube to branded content.Ready to reimagine your filmmaking approach?

The house built around diversity, equity and inclusion is coming apart brick by brick. Since last summer, brands, retailers, holding companies and, most recently the federal government, have been dismantling (or retooling) DEI initiatives, many of which were built up after the murder of George Floyd and subsequent Black Lives Matter Movement of 2020. The “diversity” portion of diversity, equity and inclusion has become divisive, impacting multicultural marketing agencies, Black-owned brands and diverse publications. And they're starting to feel the ripple effects, according to Kirk McDonald, CEO of Sundial Media Group, holding company for brands like Essence magazine, Afropunk festival and Refinery29. Although, he said, it's too early to tell the full impact DEI's retooling (or rebrand) will have on the industry in terms of media spend, marketing budgets or consumer habits. McDonald recently sat down with the Digiday Podcast to talk about how Sundial's diverse publications, geared toward women and other historically marginalized communities, are navigating the pushback.
