**Welcome to The Public Figure Society,** the podcast where we imagine, strategize, and philosophize about the future we want to create. We are living in unprecedented times—institutions are crumbling, the gatekeepers no longer hold the keys, and we have become the architects of not just our lives but also the changemakers of society with a simple swipe or follow.

Today, we are all public figures in a society where AI is no longer just a tool; it has become an integral part of our lives, taking over tasks and automating in ways that push us into leadership—whether we are ready or not. As AI steps in as our taskmaster, we are thrust into taking ownership of our personal brands, decisions, and influence like never before. But with this newfound power comes the challenge of balancing visibility and privacy in a world where influence is currency.

This podcast is dedicated to exploring these shifts, providing insights and practical tools to help you navigate this new era with confidence. We'll engage in thought-provoking conversations with inventors, innovators, and trailblazers who are rewriting the future and redefining influence in this revolution of change. But it's not just about the experts—it's about everyday people who are embracing these changes, stepping up, and finding their unique place in this new world.

Everyone has something valuable to contribute, and together, we can rewrite the future.

The episodes will focus on:

❖ The Visionaries Leading the Shift – Learn from leaders driving transformation across industries.

❖ The Technologies Powering Change – Gain insight into AI, robotics, tools, and tactics that are reshaping productivity, communication, and influence.

❖ Strategies for Thriving as a Public Figure—Discover practical frameworks, tools, and actionable insights to adapt, show up authentically, and succeed in digital and real-life spaces.

Through in-depth conversations and real-world examples —ranging from CEOs and entrepreneurs to technologists and academics—we uncover the patterns, trends, and tactics that redefine leadership in this connected world.

Join us as we dive deep into the role of the changing role of public figure, master the art and science of influence, and discover how to rewrite our future.

HR Meets AI: Rethinking Hiring and How to Stand Out

My guest this week is Cailean Bailey, Head of Global Talent Acquisition at Design Pickle. We dive into what it really means to hire in the age of AI: and why it’s not about humans vs. machines, but about hiring humans who know how to use AI.

Cailean brings a fresh and creative lens to recruiting, shaped by his years coaching Division I men’s soccer. At Design Pickle, he leads hiring across Technical, GTM, and Creative roles: and shares how their approach to “Pickle-izing” the hiring process helps protect culture, voice, and standards.

We explore why curiosity and grit matter more than traditional credentials: how AI is changing the way we think about creativity and ghostwriting: and what the future of work looks like when the human element and technology work in sync. If you're building a team, applying for roles, or navigating where you fit in the AI-powered workforce, this episode is for you.

Key Takeaways:

Hire the human who uses AI

Never sacrifice your standards: just upgrade your tools

Pickle-izing is about cultural alignment and consistency

Curiosity, grit, and adaptability are non-negotiables

AI doesn’t replace creatives: it powers them up

Soundbites:

"AI is part of your team"

"You won’t lose your job to AI: you’ll lose it to someone using it"

"Curiosity is a massive green flag"

"The true creative is you"
