Integrating AI Into PESO: Shattering Silos and Building the Future of Comms Talent w/ Gini Dietrich, Founder and CEO at Spin Sucks
Q: How has AI changed the way PESO is applied?
AI now helps with visibility engineering, content mapping, and analyzing large sets of data to surface trends, but it also requires rethinking how owned and earned media are used, including non-traditional outlets like newsletters and podcasts.
Integrating AI Into PESO: Shattering Silos and Building the Future of Comms Talent w/ Gini Dietrich, Founder and CEO at Spin Sucks
Q: What is the PESO Model and where did it come from?

Rewriting Corporate Culture: How Chili Piper Scales with Humans, AI Agents, and Radical Decision-Making w/ Alina Vandenberghe, Co-Founder at Chili Piper
Q: What red flags prompted you to start Chili Piper and pursue entrepreneurship with your husband?
She cites a desire to escape the politics of large corporations, a passion for building rather than climbing, and a belief that talent should lead, not politics—driving them to create a flat, transparent organization where decisions are made collectively.

AI Isn’t Autopilot: Real Tactics for Upskilling Comms and Winning Earned Attention w/ Chris Gee
Q: How did you decide to make it specifically for communications, PR, and corporate comms folks?
