Episode notes
Call Out Problems With Plain Speech
- Speak plainly and address hard problems instead of hiding behind happy talk.
- Name systemic issues to rebuild trust and enable real solutions.
Outdated PR Damages Trust
- Old PR playbooks and obfuscation worsen public trust when leaders avoid direct answers.
- Saying nothing is not a strategy; honesty creates the best chance to fix problems.
Actively Advocate Or Be Complicit
- Engage publicly in advocacy and policy rather than staying silent and letting change happen to you.
- If you don't push for reform, you're effectively complicit in the broken status quo.
