New Rules Podcast

In an era where performance is currency and platforms reward polished personas, how do we return to what’s real? In this episode of The New Rules Podcast, Adrian and Bri get brutally honest about… well, honesty. From pop culture moments like Love Island and social media virality to systemic mistrust in government and leadership, we trace the cultural shift that’s made authenticity feel more like a performance than a practice. We ask: Why do we praise vulnerability online but punish it in real life? What happens when we lose ourselves in the name of influence? Can we lead authentically in a world built on curated identity? This episode is a raw, challenging unpacking of why honesty is now a radical act  and why the leaders who choose truth over performance will shape the future.
