  • Understanding your audience, crafting a compelling narrative, and building relationship are the core tools everyone needs to be successful in public relations. However, since artificial intelligence (AI) has entered the chat, how do we evolve the field and adapt our careers?

    On the latest episode of The Business Communicators, Josh Kail joins Austin and Thomas for a discussion on the evolving media landscape through digital platforms, social media, and emerging technologies like AI.

    Kail emphasizes that, while AI can assist in tasks like data analysis and pattern recognition, it cannot replace the human element in PR - the creativity, empathy, and ethical judgment that are crucial in storytelling and relationship building.

    The episode touches on navigating the ethical challenges that come with new technologies and data usage, the Cambridge Analytica scandal, and the potential for misuse of data in influencing public opinion.

  • Rutgers grad student Anna Tamke penned an op-ed in PR Week sharing her thoughts on why college has not prepared her for a career in public relations โ€“ a plea for higher education to teach real world skills in the classroom.

    "Itโ€™s a rude awakening when you graduate with a PR degree and realize youโ€™re unemployed in a post-pandemic world with an unreal expectation for what working in your field looks like,โ€ Tamke wrote. โ€œIf the education system properly taught students โ€” like myself โ€” what PR is and how to do it, entering the workforce wouldnโ€™t be so hard."

    Austin and Thomas are joined by Calgary-based comms pro Matthew John to weigh on the opinion piece, share their personal experience breaking into corporate communications, what schools of higher learning can do to properly equip students to succeed, and why itโ€™s important for students and professionals to look after their own professional development.

  • TikTok crime sleuth Ken Waks finds himself in hot water as Texas Monthly opines that โ€œwhat began as a baseless theory has turned into a social media frenzyโ€”one with the power to frighten the public and hamper police investigations.โ€ Waks has also been accused of leveraging his viral content to promote his FinTech start-up company, Foresyte, which he currently serves as co-founder and chief marketing officer.

    What is the cost of virality? Is it worth sacrificing oneโ€™s morals or ethics?

    LA-based writer and content creator Meredith Lynch joins The Business Communicators to offer her insights into the controversy driven by Waksโ€™ investigation, his numerous brand plugs of Foresyte, and allegations that have surfaced on his since-deleted Twitter account that have racist, homophobic, and misogynistic undertones.

    The podcast further breaks down Foresyte, the company CEO Stephen Eddyโ€™s string of deleted DMs and LinkedIn posts boasting about Wakโ€™s TikTok exploits, and the Denver-based firm, Heinrich Marketing, who is providing $1 million in agency services (according to SEC filings) for the company.

    The show wraps by analyzing the actions brands must take when working with influencers, the dangers of cyber vigilantes, agency accountability, and lessons to be learned moving forward.

    Editorโ€™s Note: The Business Communicators made multiple attempts to reach Foresyte, Ken Waks, and Heinrich Marketing for comment. According to SEC filings, Heinrich Marketing is Foresyteโ€™s established marketing agency. Heinrich president and owner George Eddy is the lead investor. We received no response.

  • Business leaders have historically played a significant role in using their platform and influence to speak out on pressing issues such as social justice, equality, and sustainability. However, in recent months, companies and organizations that had previously pledged to โ€œcreate more inclusive culturesโ€ have recently provided a "no commentโ€ when asked to speak on hot-button issues. Why are leaders communicating less during heightened moments of crisis? The podcast breaks down why โ€œauthenticityโ€ is paramount when corporate executives engage in civil discourse.

    The show wraps as the panel provide their communications-focused predictions for 2023 โ€“ propaganda, tech companies going bankrupt, the metaverse, and why TikTok will ultimately be banned in the U.S. according to Austin: โ€œIf you donโ€™t think China is using ByteDance to spy on you, youโ€™re completely misguided.โ€

    Editorโ€™s Note: Season five is here! The podcast ushers in a new era with the addition of Kim Davis as a co-host โ€“ and we couldnโ€™t be more excited.

  • Depending on who we ask or what we consume in the media, the psychology of wealth for many individuals can be viewed as a more subjective term. As a culture that mostly views โ€˜chasing paperโ€™ to accumulate visible assets, are we doing all that we can to ensure that our abundance is creating a legacy for our families, and impacting in our communities?

    Author, CPA, and attorney David York has worked with a number of financially successful clients over the years, and their interactions have left an indelible mark that also drives his latest book, The Gift of Lift โ€“ Harnessing the Power of Stewardship to Elevate the World.


    David joins Austin, Hattie, and Thomas to talk about stewardship, how to distinguish wealth and money, and more importantly how we can use our stewardship of wealth to make a positive, lasting impression on lives and communities.


    The show closes this week by discussing remote work and how one comedian is fighting cancel culture by taking back his own work โ€“ even with a massive financial risk.
