In a world where so much of our information come through our social feeds and the brands that provide us with that information are in frequent turmoil, we wanted to know: what does it take to launch a new brand, in NEWS, from scratch, especially one looking to bring back a more transparent, global view? Steven and Marisa chose this topic to welcome their first guest (friend?) to the conversation: Justin Smith, former CEO of Bloomberg Media Group and now co-founder and CEO of Semafor. As always, stay on to hear their thoughts on: “what’s on your minds?”

Tune in as Steven and Marisa give their first take on Threads… and then move into a big Hot Topic of business during the summer yet one that rarely gets discussed externally: managing current business while immersing in planning for the upcoming year. They cap it off by taking on a great (and hard) listener question!
