Add This To Your Playlist – Details, episodes & analysis

This week on Add This To Your Playlist, we’re sharing the premiere episode of Let’s Talk Thought Leadership, hosted by Amanda Cupido, founder of Lead Podcasting and Strategic Podcast Executive at The Walrus.

In this new show, Amanda learns how some of today's most brilliant thinkers turn their expertise into influence—not as a buzzword, but as a practice. You'll hear the stories behind how guests's ideas are shaped, tested, and shared in ways that built their careers in ways they never saw coming .

In the episode we're sharing today, Amanda speaks with Dr. Ivan Joseph about the long arc of his career after a TEDx talk on self-confidence surpassed 30 million views. The focus isn’t the viral moment — it’s what followed: building a brand without loving self-promotion, translating research into accessible ideas, and knowing when a prestigious role no longer fits.

If you’re thinking about how your own expertise travels, and what it takes to build a sustainable platform around it, definitely add Let’s Talk Thought Leadership to your playlist!

This week on Add This To Your Playlist, we’re sharing Courage Inc., a podcast produced by The Walrus Lab in collaboration with Deloitte.

Each episode is a long conversation with someone who’s responsible for a big, often slow-moving organization — and who’s trying to change how it works from the inside. Past guests include Teresa Resch, Stephen Poloz, Andre De Grasse, and Hope Muir, with upcoming conversations featuring leaders like James Moore, Ranjay Gulati, Michael Lee Chin, and Alex Munter.

That same approach carries through to the episode we’re sharing today with Admiral Angus Topshee, Commander of the Royal Canadian Navy. The conversation moves from big-picture questions about Canada’s defence and role in the world to very practical issues around recruiting, retention, and housing—without pretending there are simple fixes.

If you’re interested in hearing how people in charge of large systems think through hard problems in real time, Courage Inc. is worth adding to your feed.

Today, we’re adding The Shit Stick of Life to your playlist—because we've all been handed a sh** stick at one point or another...

This new show is part of the Women in Media Network, and we're excited to feature it as part of Lead's celebration of women this March!

And she’s not afraid to get real. The Shit Stick of Life dives into raw, powerful stories—like a mother’s grief after losing her daughter to intimate partner violence, and a man who found love and self-acceptance after leaving behind a family that couldn’t accept him.
