The Sarah Fraser Show

Introducing Talking Transformational Leadership with RRA’s CEO Constantine Alexandrakis from Redefiners.

Follow the show: Redefiners

In today’s fast-paced, competitive business landscape, hiring and developing future-ready, transformational C-suite leaders is critical to organizational success. Making the wrong hiring decision can often lead to higher costs, damage to workplace culture, or worse. So what are the key things to keep in mind as you think about the leaders who can help take your organization to the next level?  

In our first episode of Season 5, Simon sits down with Russell Reynolds Associates’ own CEO, Constantine Alexandrakis, to talk about what to look for in transformational C-suite leaders and how to use leadership assessment tools – like RRA’s Leadership Portrait – to find them. He’ll reveal how to take the next step in building transformational teams and what makes them successful. He’ll also share tips from his own CEO journey and the steps he took to prepare for that transition to nail his first year in the role.  

We'll also hear from Erin Zolna, a leadership advisor in our New York office, who will outline our latest research on the skills that leaders need in a fast-changing world. 

Four things you’ll learn from this episode: 

1. How to start well when stepping into a new CEO role 
2. How to assess transformational leaders and why it’s important before they take on leadership roles 
3. What makes transformational teams different and how they operate 
4. What C-suite leaders are thinking about AI and the top challenges they’re facing

ICYMI, this was a classic episode that dropped in November of 2024. We look at Maddie Brown’s podcast, she just left her podcast btw after 6 episodes, but she revealed a lot about her relationship with her Dad, Kody. There's a Change.org petition to remove Kody from the show, but fans want to keep Robyn. I also cover 90 Day Fiancé drama, including Colt Johnson's leg injury possibly linked to Ozempic, Mahmoud returning to Egypt after a domestic violence arrest, and Tim Malcolm's crypto success. Plus, I share updates on Shauna Rae's new relationship and Karine Steele's pregnancy with a 50-year-old man while still married to Paul. Thank you for tuning in and supporting our sponsors!

In this episode I discuss some explosive topics, starting with the breaking news of Justin Baldoni's $400 million lawsuit against Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and others, even involving Taylor Swift for allegedly pressuring script changes for "It Ends With Us." We also discuss the latest drama from the Sister Wives camp, including Kody Brown's controversial comments about losing his virginity, which shocked his wives Christine and Janelle, and the rumors about the show's ratings tanking. Listener interaction was lively, with fans weighing in on everything from Kody's preferences to the lawsuit's potential impact on Hollywood and the Me Too movement. This might be our last live stream on TikTok, so thank you for joining and stay tuned for more updates!

Introducing Why DEI Scares Trump and Project 2025 and Why It Should from Assembly Required with Stacey Abrams.

Follow the show: Assembly Required with Stacey Abrams

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is being weaponized by Donald Trump and Project 2025 and right-wing activists. That's because DEI has been around since the start of the country, opening doors of opportunity for millions of Americans, correcting past wrongs, and, crucially, benefiting everyone. In this episode, Stacey Abrams speaks with Kenji Yoshino, director of NYU’s Meltzer Center for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging and a constitutional law professor, about why we should clearly define, defend, and expand DEI. They explain who is covered, counter the misinformation about how DEI works, and advocate for DEI as a necessary tool for the future for the country.

Introducing Finding Holiday Happiness from How God Works: The Science Behind Spirituality.

Follow the show: How God Works: The Science Behind Spirituality

The holidays are supposed to be a time of joy. But all too often, the darker, colder days of winter, and even the stress of preparing for the holidays themselves, can lead people to feel something else: rushed, stressed, lonely, or even hopeless. How can you make sure this year is bright? Science shows that there's a wisdom to parts of traditional winter celebrations – a wisdom that's been honed over centuries to help us all find light, joy, and connection during the darkest and coldest time of the year. 

Join Dave as he chats with Laurie Santos about how to unpack the psychological secrets of celebrations from Christmas, to Hanukkah, to Yule, and more. They’ll also discuss how we can put that wisdom into practice, whatever our beliefs, to make this season a happier and healthier one for all.

Laurie Santos hosts the podcast The Happiness Lab and is a Professor of Psychology at Yale, where she teaches the most popular class in the university’s history. Learn more about her work at her website.

I had the pleasure of welcoming Zack Peter, the host of the No Filter podcast, for the first time. Zack, known for his unfiltered take on pop culture, shared his journey in podcasting, from its early, challenging days to its current success. We discussed his background in stand-up comedy, his advocacy for autism inspired by his brother, and his work with Jenny McCarthy's autism organization. The highlight of our conversation was Zack's detailed analysis of the recent controversy involving Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, where he provided insights into the media's portrayal and speculated on the deeper dynamics at play.
