Marisa and Steven are back after a hiatus, with this kick-off episode that takes the themes of seasons 1-2 and brings them right into the current moment. In just the past few weeks, we’ve seen so many examples of brands who found themselves caught in moments of unexpected cultural explosion. From Cracker Barrel to AE to Jimmy Kimmel to Tylenol and more, each of these have demonstrated how much the requirements of leadership have changed. The hosts surface 3 words that they believe carry new resonance today for that challenge: vision, vulnerability, velocity. (Not your standard adjectives, are they)? Yet incredibly fitting for our tech-disrupted and politically complex world, a world where trust is so fragile. A world where brands, and leaders, have to root themselves more than in ever in: what do you really stand for?

Listen in as they catch up… and break it all down, with personal stories from the front lines paired with their unique macro industry insights.
