Debugging Human Communication

Strategic Communication That Moves People

Listen Later

In this episode of Debugging Human Communication, Dr. Shani Horowitz-Rozen talks with Joshua Altman, Managing Director at Beltway Media in Washington, D.C. Joshua works with leaders, companies, and campaigns that can’t afford to just “post more” – they need communication that changes minds, builds trust, and drives decisions.

Together, they unpack:

  • Why “communicate strategically, not voluminously” should be every leader’s mantra
  • The journey from story → narrative → brand (and why skipping steps backfires)
  • Joshua’s simple lens for designing messages: what people read, see, hear, and experience
  • The myth of the “natural communicator” – and what serious practice actually looks like
  • How corporate communications became a core business function, not a PR add-on
