What Gen Z Knows That You Don't | Courtney Lukitsch
<p>Going viral can make you visible for a week. It rarely makes you matter for a decade. In this episode of the Oxford Talks Podcast, a communications strategist, Courtney Lukitsch who has built businesses across thirty countries makes the case that the loudest voice in the room is almost never the one that lasts.</p><p>We talk about why public relations has quietly stopped being about press and become something much closer to strategy and business development. Why a generation raised entirely online is the one bringing print and in-person back into fashion. And why, as AI compresses time and floods every channel, human discernment and a trusted network in a single room might be the most valuable assets you have left. There is a warning here too, about a widening gap between those fluent in AI and those locked out of it, and about what happens when executives get pushed in front of a camera long before they are ready.</p><p>It is a conversation about influence, taste, and building something with staying power while everyone else chases the next quick hit. If you have ever wondered whether being everywhere online is actually working for you, this one is worth your time. Have a listen, and let us know where you land.</p><p></p><p>🔍 Inside the Episode:</p><p>0:00 – Introduction</p><p>2:55 – Why designers want a business mind, not just press</p><p>6:26 – The 100X AI shift coming this year</p><p>9:20 – Why Gen Z is quietly going back to print1</p><p>4:46 – The AI divide that could split society</p><p>18:16 – The real reason your days feel shorter</p><p>20:42 – When press becomes the least of it</p><p>27:35 – The boutique that makes legacy firms nervous</p><p>29:25 – Twenty five years, not one client solicited</p><p>41:00 – What the Timothée Chalamet moment really taught us</p><p>44:36 – Why a massive following won't win an election</p><p>59:44 – The simple reason people say yes</p>

Steven Bartlett's Secret Weapon: The Man Who Hijacks 15 Million Brains In 90 Seconds
<p><strong>Anthony Smith has helped turn the Diary of a CEO into the second biggest podcast in the world, and he had never listened to a podcast before joining. </strong>As Director of Trailers, his job is to compress a two to three-hour conversation into 90 seconds that makes someone rearrange their day. In this episode, he breaks down exactly how that is done. </p><p>Anthony explains why the hook is just the tip of the iceberg, how his team uses psychological techniques drawn from film and neuroscience to hold attention rather than simply grab it, and why he refuses to call his production framework a blueprint. He talks through the 15-point checklist that governs every DOAC trailer, what it means to make a genre piece instead of a podcast clip, and why the team once intentionally tried to fail more often. </p><p>He also shares the moment he sat in a cinema and watched his own work on the big screen, and what that meant for a kid who grew up being told his passion would never pay.</p><p> If you work in content, podcasting, or storytelling at any level, this conversation will change how you think about the first 90 seconds of anything. </p>
