What happens when your CEO and Chief People Officer end up on the kiss cam at a Coldplay concert?

In this episode, Lola and Mamuna unpack the viral moment that put a unicorn tech company — Astronomer — at the center of internet gossip. But we’re not here for the tabloid drama. We’re here to talk about the real implications of workplace relationships at the highest level.

We break down:

• 🧠 The power dynamics between CEOs and Chief People Officers

• 🛡️ The role of HR: protecting people vs. protecting the company

• ⚖️ Ethics, accountability, and what really happens when the top breaks the rules

• 📈 What the board should (or shouldn't) do during a reputational crisis

• 🎯 How companies might spin scandal into spotlight — and what that says about tech culture

This one’s spicy, but grounded. It’s not about them, it’s about us: what we normalize, how we lead, and who gets held to which standards.

👀 Whether you're in tech, HR, or just love real talk about leadership and accountability — this one’s for you.
