  • America’s Mayor Joins The Media Roundtable
    Our conversation begins in the 1960s, when Guiliani, then a promising young Democrat, meets two men he admires: John and Bobby Kennedy. Two decades later, Guiliani is U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York prosecuting the heads of the five families, when John Gotti motions to order his assassination. Fast forward to 2001, we all know Giuliani’s role on 9/11 as the picture of leadership during a crisis, earning him recognition as Time Magazine's Person of the Year, being Knighted by the Queen, and dubbed, "America's Mayor" by Oprah. The morning of our interview, he retraces his steps in Lower Manhattan, reliving his experience of that fateful day. Nowadays, Rudy describes how some people run up to hug and thank him for his leadership, while at the same time, others yell expletives that he is unwilling to repeat.
    For those of us who long to recreate an age where our leaders set aside personal differences to stand united in the face of an existential threat, Rudy Giuliani will not be of service. His podcast, Common Sense, features a steady stream of unfiltered claims against leading Democratic figures. Spoiler Alert: Rudy does not like the Bidens. As a podcaster, his goal is to provide information that The New York Times will not. While Giuliani’s placement on the Ad Fontes Media Bias Chart ranks the show on par with Rachel Maddow and Anderson Cooper, advertisers who might consider alignment with his program must count the risks of his position on the right as commentator and participant.
    The search for a modern unifying figure in America feels like an acid trip through a house of mirrors. The Rudy Giuliani we see today is beleaguered, but defiant, resembling more of the New York Prosecutor of the 80's than the unifying figure we met on September 11th, 2001, but this time, without backing from the halls of power.

  • Buy Local! The Case to Save Local News from Will Phipps of Protect Our Press

    Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes? Translation: “Who Watches the Watchmen?” This is the question posed in this week’s episode of The Media Roundtable by our guest, Will Phipps. Phipps is dedicated to charging Brands and Marketers with saving local journalism through his organization, Protect Our Press . We discuss the importance of local and reasons why we must unite to support this critical part of the news media ecosystem as it struggles for survival. While journalists, aka “The Fourth Estate,” are needed to hold the powerful to account, it now falls to Corporations to support and hold this critical institution to account.

  • The State of the Fourth Estate Part III: NYT’s Ben Smith
    Here’s what happens when you interview a once-in-a-generation journalist to discuss the wildly divisive industry he helped to create.
    Ben Smith is the journalist’s journalist and has been described as one of the most powerful men in media. He was on the front lines as Politico turned political journalism upside down, eating The Washington Post’s lunch until Jeff Bezos rescued them. Then as Editor-in-Chief of Buzzfeed News, he converted the Startupy brand from a receptacle for listicles into a legitimate journalistic institution. Today, Smith is the Media Editor for The New York Times and this week’s guest on The Media Roundtable.
    The scope of this episode is wide and consequential. As a changemaker and working reporter, Ben holds court on a number of topics including cancel culture (or “bad faith” when spoken by liberals), holding brands accountable for living their values, the future of content moderation, including Zuckerberg’s “Star Trek global court...sitting around a glowing table in robes”, how corporations are “constantly getting baited” by social media to have an immediate response to cultural issues rather than a more methodical process for addressing concerns, adding that this is not just from customers but also feeling rising pressure from their own employees.

  • Hint Inc’ Founder, Kara Goldin’s Journey to Creating Values-Driven Brand
    Entrepreneur, disrupter, and recent author, Kara Goldin is Founder & CEO of the fabulously successful Hint Inc., where she successfully created a category for unsweetened flavored water, transitioned from reliance on retail to opening D2C, and proved naysayers wrong at every turn.
    Everything about Kara and the company she founded shows that doing well by doing good can be wildly successful. As our guest on this episode of The Media Roundtable, she shares lessons from her journey that led to her publishing best-selling book, Undaunted: Overcoming Doubts and Doubters.
    In this episode, she shares how the genesis of her company and the successes along the way generally came from organic experiences that led to organic products and later profit. One of the key takeaways is that to truly make an impact, you’ve got to pick your shots, instead of being all things to all people.

  • The Unwinnable Culture War: A Conversation with Radio Host Steve Deace
    This week’s guest, Steve Deace, is not exactly the poster boy for the Media Roundtable values. Particularly our values of Tolerance, Respect, and De-escalation.
    As Host of the Steve Deace Show through Blaze Media, he is an energetic, committed conservative that knows what he believes, why he believes it, and seeks to serve his audience with both entertainment and truth to the best of his understanding. His ideology that supersedes party affiliation and whereas recent guest, Hugh Hewitt openly shared praise and admiration for both Anthony Fauci and Mitch McConnell, Deace represents a different branch of conservatism. He aligns with what he sees as the future of the Republican Party, which is much more Josh Hawley than Mitch McConnell. Deace sees himself as a reluctant combatant in our modern culture war, which he believes he only joined as a last resort. “Do I defend my way of life or not? You are leaving us no choice but to fight back.”

  • Using Conflict to Bring Peace; How One Marketer Leans Into Conflicts to Bring People Closer Together
    This week on The Media Roundtable, we are joined by Ciaran O’Connor, Chief Marketing Officer at Braver Angels, an organization founded after the 2016 election in order to bridge our divided country by engaging with communities directly.
    O’Connor knows we have deep disagreements in this country, but believes that's the way it's supposed to be; it’s how we interact with whom we disagree that needs to change. His organization aims to bring both sides together through media content, workshops, skills training, weekly civil debates, and local community alliances.
