Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast focuses on the evolution of leadership, personal growth, and authentic communication, often diving into topics such as workplace dynamics, risk-taking in marketing, and the challenges of balancing personal values with professional responsibilities. Episodes include discussions on innovative marketing strategies, the importance of vulnerability in leadership, and tackling imposter syndrome, with real-world examples from industry leaders.
Humans & Brands is a podcast that understands how connected work and life are, and that building a career is just as personal as it is professional.
Hosted by Lauren Douglass, a marketer and founder of the thought leadership agency Reverve, the show features conversations with people who are brands, work in brands, or build brands, about the journey of work and life.
The goal is that no listener should have to navigate the journey alone. These conversations are a chance to learn what leaders have been through; from the wins to the falls, and the questions that don’t make it onto resumes. Lauren asks the things we’re often too afraid to say out loud: What does failure feel like? How do you deal with imposter syndrome? How do you become a good leader?
But she also talks about brands and marketing—because brands are made by people, and people are brands. The show explores how identity shows up in the work we do, the content we create, and the stories we tell about ourselves and our companies.
She’s not the expert in the room, she is figuring it out alongside the audience.
Every episode is designed to leave the audience feeling a little less alone and a little more confident in their pathway forward.
Many careers follow a straight line. Evin Shutt, CEO and Partner of 72andSunny, took the opposite approach. From middle school teacher to the first employee (and now CEO & Partner!) at one of the most creative agencies in the world, her story is about having the courage to pivot when something doesn’t feel right. Host Lauren Douglass sits down with Evin to explore her “pendulum” approach to work-life balance, what 94% of C-suite women have in common, and how Evin realized she was chasing what she thought she should do instead of what made her happy.
Evin gets real about sitting with discomfort, optimism as a core value, and why women’s sports are having their moment. At the core: be patient, it’s okay to start over, and sometimes the best decisions don’t make sense on paper. Let’s get into it.
