What You’ll Discover

From podcasting’s evolution from “technical gymnastics” to mainstream medium, to the seismic shifts in internal communications driven by remote work and changing employee expectations. Shel shares practical AI applications that transformed a 2-day research project into 25 minutes of work, plus innovative strategies for building authentic connections when traditional company gatherings no longer engage employees.

Learn why “smart brevity” and meme-style communication are cutting through digital noise, how community platforms facilitate peer-to-peer learning, and why understanding Gen Z’s practical approach is crucial for modern communicators.

Whether you’re a communications professional, manager, or business leader, this conversation provides actionable insights for building engagement and maintaining strong cultures in distributed teams.
