On this episode, we’re joined by Todd K. Harris, General Manager, Transportation & Hospitality at Gradial, to explore how AI is reshaping the way brands get discovered. Todd explains the shift from SEO to a more dynamic, AI-driven discovery model, why visibility alone isn’t enough, and how operational agility is becoming the real competitive edge. It’s a clear, practical look at how marketers can connect insights to execution and keep pace in a rapidly changing landscape.

On this episode, I sit down with Richard Exon, Co-Founder at Joint, to talk about why independent agencies are having a moment. We cover what independence actually unlocks—from faster decision-making to tighter collaboration—how talent and clients are rethinking what they want from agency partners, and why new tech is making it easier than ever to compete without the traditional scale of a network.

Richard Reeves, CEO at the Association of Online Publishers, joins us to talk about the evolving role of premium publishers in a fragmented, AI-driven media landscape. He shares why trust and quality environments are making a comeback, how publishers are balancing the opportunities and risks of AI, and why supporting premium content isn’t just a moral decision—it’s a smart commercial one for brands looking to drive real impact.
