More CEO's should do fire-side chats and podcasts.
Why? the hard truth is: people follow people, not press releases.
Too many CEOs still hide behind corporate statements—missing a huge chance to build real-world trust.
A recent fire-side chat I enjoyed involved Indian KOL Nikhil Kamath and Nothing CEO Carl Pei plus friends.
Here’s why a monthly fireside chat or podcast can flip that script:
🔊 Humanize 'brand'
Customers, talent, and investors get to see the person behind the logo—voice cracks, humor, unfiltered passion included. Authenticity scales faster than any ad budget ever will.
🚀 Turn executives into magnets
Founders who speak publicly attract A-players. A 20-minute conversation about vision and culture does more for recruiting than a glossy careers page.
📡 Own the narrative, beat the rumor mill
A regular stream of candid updates sidesteps speculation and keeps stakeholders aligned—especially in choppy markets.
♻️ Content flywheel on autopilot
One podcast episode → short video clips → quote cards → blog recap. Multiply reach without multiplying effort.
If you're a PR or exec, push your CEO to participate in podcasts and the like.
P.S - Like Carl, I also started my career in Tech working at Meizu, OPPO and OnePlus. Small world.
