Episode 31 Sean Pillot de Chennecy - The Post Truth Business // Influencers & Revolutionaries
In this episode, recorded in January, I’m in conversation with Sean Pillot De Chennecy. Sean is an author, speaker, researcher and strategy consultant who’s spent his professional life exploring the leading edges of culture and how business and brands respond authentically to an increasingly uncertain future. He has authored two recent books, the first: The Post Truth Business: How to Rebuild Brand Authenticity in a Distrusting World out in 2018 and his latest Influencers and Revolutionaries: How Innovative Trailblazers, Trends and Catalysts Are Transforming Business This episode is a lively and lengthy exploration which meanders through fake news, technology disruption, populist politics, brand trust, UK Labour leadership, climate change and the ecological emergency, Extinction Rebellion and permanent protest through to surveillance capitalism and more. We’re ultimately riffing on the biggest challenge that faces humanity - how do you mobilise the planet to act together on the urgency of climate and ecological collapse when what is true and what is fake is becoming increasingly difficult to figure out, dividing people more than ever. Enjoy!
