The E36 Podcast
Conversations on cultural intelligence, creative strategy, and the art of leading with clarity in a shifting world.
For cultural workers, communications professionals, and creatives who want to think more precisely about the work they do and why it matters.
Each episode moves between the signals shaping our world and the practical intelligence needed to navigate them: the role of culture in institutions, the evolving demands of creative economies, the frameworks that turn perspective into practice. Sometimes it is a conversation. Sometimes it is a direct transmission from twenty years of doing this work.
The E36 Podcast is not about trends. It is about developing the kind of thinking that makes you better at your work, no matter where you are or what you are building.

Perspective: The Silver Lining of Trump's DEI Crackdown
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we tackle Trump’s proposed crackdown on DEI programs—a move that’s sparking heated debate for its impact on workplace culture and marginalized communities. We discuss the pitfalls of superficial “box-checking” approaches to diversity, explore how organizations might respond if forced to rethink their commitments, and examine whether this brash policy could unintentionally trigger more authentic, lasting inclusion.
