ON_Discourse
Hosted by ON_Discourse · EN
The ON_Discourse Podcast is where leaders shaping the future of AI, media, and business come to think out loud.
Hosted by Toby Daniels, Dan Gardner, and Matt Chmiel, each episode draws from the private Group Chats inside ON_Discourse, a community of C-suite leaders, founders, and innovators who challenge assumptions, sharpen ideas, and drive transformation through discourse.
Less an interview and more an experiment in modern conversation, the show explores how emerging technologies like AI are reshaping leadership, creativity, and culture, grounded in real-world experiences from the people building the future.
If you’re a business leader, innovator, or curious thinker looking to understand how AI and technology are changing what it means to build, lead, and create, this is the room you want to be in.
