NEW: The land of opportunity is driving its top talent away. 😔

This week on PR After Hours, we look at the alarming trend of Brain Drain hitting American universities. Top researchers are tired of unstable funding and political meddling, and they are taking their world-changing ideas overseas.

This isn’t just a science story—it's a story about innovation, economic strength, and what happens when a nation stops valuing its best minds.

🎙️ NEW EPISODE: I Used to Think One-on-One Meetings Were a Waste of Time 🎙️

I used to think one-on-one meetings were a colossal waste of time. Too much talk, not enough doing. But somewhere between running my own PR practice and leading a communications team, I realized I’d been missing something big.

Now I see those meetings as one of the most productive, clarifying, and genuinely human parts of the week.

In this episode of PR After Hours, I share how my thinking changed—and why one-on-ones matter whether you’re the boss, the employee, or the peer sitting across the coffee table.

💡 We’ll talk about:
• How to make one-on-one meetings worth the time
• The “walk-and-talk” method that changes the dynamic
• A smart reminder from my colleague Darren about peer-to-peer meetings

If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at yet another meeting invite, this one’s for you.

“Trust is built before the sirens start.”

In this episode, Chief Clint Greenwood joins Alex in the Virtual Lounge to talk about what makes first responders tick—their unique humor, resilience, and the importance of building trust long before a crisis hits. We also explore how those lessons apply to leadership in any high-pressure situation.

If you’ve ever wondered how to lead under fire (literally or figuratively), this one’s worth a listen.
