    When the CEO’s PDA Hits TMZ: How to Lead During PR Disasters

    A concert. A camera. A very public mistake. And just like that, your company’s culture is trending for all the wrong reasons. In this episode of Great Mondays Radio, we sit down with crisis communications pro Chris Beard to talk through what actually happens when a leadership scandal goes viral. Not hypotheticals—real reputational meltdowns, where your CEO makes headlines and your brand becomes a meme. We unpack how companies can (and should) respond in those first critical hours, why most don’t get it right, and what it really takes to own the narrative without spinning out. This isn’t about cleaning up a mess. It’s about building the kind of culture that can survive one. We discuss: Why the first few hours matter more than you thinkHow to communicate with honesty and protect the businessWhat happens when lawyers steer the story—and how to find balanceWhy “reputation equity” might be your most valuable assetHow to prepare for the unexpected with tools, not just templates If you’re in brand, people, comms—or just trying to keep culture intact when trust is on the line—this one’s for you.

    The Great Flattening: Will AI Destroy Your Business’ Differentiation?

    AI is everywhere—streamlining workflows, turbocharging creativity, and yes, threatening to take jobs. But what happens to the humans inside the business when algorithms take over the heavy lifting? In this episode, author and Circle Leadership founder Dave Clare joins Josh Levine to talk about how leaders can stay competitive in an AI-powered world. His latest book, humAIn (yes, that’s H-U-M-A-I-N), is a call to action for anyone trying to lead in an era when machines are getting smarter, faster, and cheaper—and culture is the only real differentiator left. This is about more than just staying ahead of the curve. It’s about building organizations that are built to care—not just scale. Because when AI levels the playing field, the companies that win are the ones that capture the spirit of their people. If you’re a founder, team leader, or just someone wondering what it really means to “do work you love” in the age of AI, this one’s for you. We cover: Why AI is the great flattener—and what that means for your competitive edgeHow treating people as “human beings first, employees second” changes everythingWhy every organization needs digital guardrails as much as human ones Culture isn’t just a perk. It’s your only real advantage when everything else becomes equal. Learn more about Dave Clare on his website and LinkedIn. Think you'd be a great guest on the show? Apply here!
