Meet the New Boss, Same As The Old Boss: Welcome to The Trending Communicator

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,602
Welcome, or welcome back to the trending

2
00:00:02,602 --> 00:00:14,142
communicator. I'm your host, Dan Nestle.

3
00:00:14,142 --> 00:00:17,040
Wait, what? The trending communicator.

4
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,274
What? I thought I was here for the Dan

5
00:00:19,274 --> 00:00:21,966
Nestle show. Well, I got good news for

6
00:00:21,966 --> 00:00:23,658
you, everybody. You still are here for the

7
00:00:23,658 --> 00:00:25,314
Dan Nestle show, only I've decided,

8
00:00:25,314 --> 00:00:28,006
decided to bring it in a little bit, focus

9
00:00:28,006 --> 00:00:31,222
in a little bit more on the community, on

10
00:00:31,222 --> 00:00:34,422
the professionals, on the profession

11
00:00:34,422 --> 00:00:37,254
itself that has given me so much, that has

12
00:00:37,254 --> 00:00:39,834
made all of the good fortune in my life

13
00:00:39,834 --> 00:00:42,646
possible. That is the field of PR,

14
00:00:42,646 --> 00:00:45,146
communications, and marketing. From now

15
00:00:45,146 --> 00:00:48,618
on, I'm going to be devoting the show to

16
00:00:48,618 --> 00:00:50,960
those in the fields which I had just

17
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,934
mentioned, who I think and who you

18
00:00:53,934 --> 00:00:57,040
probably all will think are amazing

19
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,306
people, people who have something

20
00:00:59,306 --> 00:01:01,854
incredible to offer, people who have done

21
00:01:01,854 --> 00:01:03,342
great things in the field of

22
00:01:03,342 --> 00:01:05,122
communications and beyond, people who are

23
00:01:05,122 --> 00:01:08,226
taking our profession to wherever it's

24
00:01:08,226 --> 00:01:12,450
going to go. And hence, I think they're

25
00:01:12,450 --> 00:01:14,846
trending. The trending communicator. The

26
00:01:14,846 --> 00:01:17,526
trending communicators of our day. I'm

27
00:01:17,526 --> 00:01:21,666
still going to be having in depth

28
00:01:21,666 --> 00:01:24,406
conversations and go explore as far as I

29
00:01:24,406 --> 00:01:28,618
can with my curiosity. And we're going to

30
00:01:28,618 --> 00:01:31,340
have a lot of fun, going to get to know

31
00:01:31,340 --> 00:01:34,422
people. And anybody, whether you're in

32
00:01:34,422 --> 00:01:36,250
communications, marketing, or some other

33
00:01:36,250 --> 00:01:39,546
profession, anybody will get something out

34
00:01:39,546 --> 00:01:43,018
of every episode. That said, if you're in

35
00:01:43,018 --> 00:01:45,582
comms or you're in marketing, there's

36
00:01:45,582 --> 00:01:46,734
definitely going to be a little bit more

37
00:01:46,734 --> 00:01:50,542
for you, at least professionally speaking.

38
00:01:50,542 --> 00:01:52,842
And I think you'll be fascinated with the

39
00:01:52,842 --> 00:01:55,026
people who are going to be coming on the

40
00:01:55,026 --> 00:01:58,926
show these days. There's just been an

41
00:01:58,926 --> 00:02:00,754
incredible amount of change happening in

42
00:02:00,754 --> 00:02:04,882
our field, and I've been dealing with that

43
00:02:04,882 --> 00:02:06,098
change, and I've been sort of on the edge

44
00:02:06,098 --> 00:02:08,758
of that change for at least the past five

45
00:02:08,758 --> 00:02:11,494
or six years, if not longer. And in recent

46
00:02:11,494 --> 00:02:13,142
years, I've really doubled down on the

47
00:02:13,142 --> 00:02:17,394
idea of innovation and staying ahead of

48
00:02:17,394 --> 00:02:21,382
the changes, mostly in technology that are

49
00:02:21,382 --> 00:02:24,490
facing our world and facing our profession

50
00:02:24,490 --> 00:02:27,062
particularly, and changing the face of

51
00:02:27,062 --> 00:02:29,558
communications and really having severe

52
00:02:29,558 --> 00:02:32,974
implications as to the future of what it

53
00:02:32,974 --> 00:02:36,414
is that I do. You may not think that it's

54
00:02:36,414 --> 00:02:40,078
super important or that it's ever occurred

55
00:02:40,078 --> 00:02:43,390
to you that communications and marketing

56
00:02:43,390 --> 00:02:45,394
is really a critical part of the future.

57
00:02:45,394 --> 00:02:49,140
But let me ask you this. Who controls

58
00:02:49,140 --> 00:02:52,478
information? Who are the people that write

59
00:02:52,478 --> 00:02:54,702
stories that you then read in the

60
00:02:54,702 --> 00:02:58,002
newspapers? Or, well, if you ever seen a

61
00:02:58,002 --> 00:03:01,366
newspaper, if you ever read on websites or

62
00:03:01,366 --> 00:03:04,550
even in social media, who are the people

63
00:03:04,550 --> 00:03:08,380
who create the narratives that you hear

64
00:03:08,380 --> 00:03:13,050
about in positive and negative ways, in

65
00:03:13,050 --> 00:03:17,366
politics, in corporations, in

66
00:03:17,366 --> 00:03:20,622
organizations, the people that create

67
00:03:20,622 --> 00:03:24,080
those pieces, the people who are in charge

68
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:28,238
of narratives, of stories, of messaging, I

69
00:03:28,238 --> 00:03:32,494
got to say, they hold a lot of power. And

70
00:03:32,494 --> 00:03:35,506
most of them, most of us just think it's

71
00:03:35,506 --> 00:03:37,442
our job. We get a lot of rewards out of

72
00:03:37,442 --> 00:03:41,986
it, very passionate about it. But frankly,

73
00:03:41,986 --> 00:03:45,330
I think we need to understand that we

74
00:03:45,330 --> 00:03:49,014
wield an incredible amount of power over

75
00:03:49,014 --> 00:03:51,334
the information that others receive. And

76
00:03:51,334 --> 00:03:53,138
with that power comes great

77
00:03:53,138 --> 00:03:54,198
responsibility. I guess you knew I was

78
00:03:54,198 --> 00:03:56,566
going to say something like that. Well,

79
00:03:56,566 --> 00:03:57,994
the trending communicator is going to be

80
00:03:57,994 --> 00:04:01,066
talking with people, movers and shakers in

81
00:04:01,066 --> 00:04:04,874
the field who I believe really understand

82
00:04:04,874 --> 00:04:08,874
that responsibility, who are looking at

83
00:04:08,874 --> 00:04:11,774
technology and looking at changes in the

84
00:04:11,774 --> 00:04:15,742
way that we understand communications,

85
00:04:15,742 --> 00:04:18,346
whether it be through artificial

86
00:04:18,346 --> 00:04:21,706
intelligence or neuroscience or just

87
00:04:21,706 --> 00:04:23,630
understanding better ways to manage

88
00:04:23,630 --> 00:04:27,586
anxiety and speak as a communicator and

89
00:04:27,586 --> 00:04:31,950
much, much more. These people will be

90
00:04:31,950 --> 00:04:34,194
graciously sitting with me and talking,

91
00:04:34,194 --> 00:04:37,894
and we are going to uncover some, I mean,

92
00:04:37,894 --> 00:04:41,320
some amazing insights and some very

93
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,854
interesting paths of discussion, as I have

94
00:04:44,854 --> 00:04:49,322
always done, as I will continue to do so.

95
00:04:49,322 --> 00:04:51,850
Yes, it's different. It's the trending

96
00:04:51,850 --> 00:04:55,754
communicator. Still Dan Nestle, still me,

97
00:04:55,754 --> 00:04:58,666
