This podcast is for marketers, communicators and storytellers on a mission to make meaningful connections with their audience. Easier said than done. We talk about ways to do that and more...and we keep it fun.
A town hall can announce a transformation, but it can’t make change happen on its own. Matt sits down with Sylvia Maldonado, a fractional communications chief, to unpack why organizations often get transformation and change communications wrong. Sylvia explains why communications leaders need to think like business partners and help employees understand what’s changing, why it matters, and what’s in it for them.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- Why the “one and done” town hall mentality doesn’t work
- How leaders can make transformation communications more human and effective
- Why CEOs, managers, peers, and frontline employees all have a role in communication
- How to connect communications and content to real business outcomes

What Human-Centered AI Really Means
AI is making it easier to create, automate, and move faster, but can it replace the experience needed to develop good judgment?
Matt sits down with fractional CXO Jennifer Severns to explore human-centered AI and why technology should enhance, not replace, critical thinking, craft, and human connection.
Jennifer explains why AI can be a powerful shortcut for experts, but relying on it without lived experience can lead to work that feels hollow or simply “off.” From design and customer experience to creativity and innovation, she shares why understanding the human on the other side should remain at the focus.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- Why you can’t shortcut craft and judgment
- What human-centered AI really means
- How AI can amplify expertise
- Why critical thinking still matters
