A new season of Tuesday Tea is here and the conversation is evolving. 

In previous episodes, we sat down with business owners and leaders at every stage of growth, exploring the realities of building, scaling, and navigating life along the way. From honest conversations about entrepreneurship to the human moments behind it all, this podcast has always been rooted in real experience. 

But as we step into 2026, the landscape has shifted. 

This season, Tuesday Tea moves into deeper territory - focusing on AI governance, ethical decision-making, and what it truly means to lead in a rapidly changing world. 

Because leadership today isn’t just about growth.
 It’s about responsibility.
 It’s about awareness.
 And it’s about understanding the impact of the systems we’re building. 

In this trailer, Dominica shares the evolution of the show and what’s ahead this season - featuring conversations with leaders who are not just adapting to change, but helping shape it. 

If you’re thinking differently about the future of business, leadership, and technology - this season is for you.

In this episode of Tuesday Tea, Dominica sits down for a thoughtful conversation with Shackleton group Founder, Ed Gillcrist, about leadership, governance, and what really happens inside organizations once strategy meets reality. 

Many organizations spend enormous energy building plans, structures, and org charts. But as companies grow and decisions become more complex, the way things actually operate often looks very different from what is written on paper.

This conversation explores where leadership, governance, and execution intersect- and what leaders need to understand when decision-making becomes distributed across teams, systems, and increasingly, intelligent technologies.

Together, they discuss:

• Why organizational charts rarely reflect how decisions are truly made
 • The difference between leadership, management, and governance
 • How execution breaks down even in highly capable organizations
 • What leaders often miss when responsibility becomes unclear
 • Why thoughtful governance is becoming more important in the age of AI

As technology accelerates and organizations adopt more automated tools and data-driven systems, the question of who ultimately owns decisions becomes more important than ever.

This episode is a conversation about responsibility, stewardship, and the evolving role of leadership in complex organizations.

In this episode of Tuesday Tea with Sweet D, Dominica explores why one word is suddenly showing up everywhere in conversations about the future of business and technology: governance.

As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes industries, leaders and experts alike are admitting something surprising when asked where AI is headed, we don’t really know. So what does responsible innovation look like in a world moving faster than certainty?

Dominica shares her perspective on the rise of AI governance, why this moment represents a major shift in leadership, and how organizations can embrace innovation while maintaining accountability and ethical guardrails. This episode marks the beginning of a new season focused on navigating what she calls The Governance Era.
