Disrupt Yourself: Lessons in Leadership from Stephen Miron

In today’s episode, we had the privilege of speaking with Stephen Miron, one of the most respected and well-liked figures in British media — the long-time CEO, and soon-to-be Chairman, of Global, the powerhouse behind Capital, Heart, LBC, Classic FM, DAX, and one of Europe’s largest outdoor networks. Over 16 years, Stephen has helped transform Global from a £200 million radio group into a billion-pound, multi-platform media organisation. His leadership has shaped how millions of us consume audio and media every single day. For me, there was something incredibly powerful in what Stephen shared — the idea that you have to know when to exit stage left. It’s about trust, timing, and the courage to let others lead. Marco put it brilliantly: “Disrupt yourself before someone else does.” It’s not just a business mantra — it’s a life philosophy. Stay tuned for a conversation full of wisdom on leadership, disruption, evolution, and knowing when to pass the baton. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
