| 4/21/26 |  Transparency Versus Fear | In today's episode from Jessica's appearance on the Virtual Campfire Podcast: Usually, layoffs are conducted with a long, secretive process by executives and lasting trauma for the company. By dealing with the situation differently -- being transparent with employees about the upcoming layoffs -- things played out for the better. Some people left on their own terms; others became even more loyal to the company. And everyone was better off for the transparent approach.

| 4/20/26 | Responsibility and Accountability | In today's episode: You can give people responsiblity, but they are the ones who take accountability. KKR's model of employee ownership embodies this concept: it gives employees direct stake in the value-creation of companies, aligning incentives so everybody benefits. The playbook to developing an ownership mindset among employees: share information with everyone as if they're owners, give them the skills to understand it, and engage employees so their voices are understood.

| 4/17/26 | Leadership and Safety | In today's episode: The amount of information out there is causing real safety risks; distraction is literally causing people to get hurt in risky situations. When something dangerous is happening, it's almost always better to stay out of the way until it's run its course, then pick up the pieces. Great leaders are able to make the choice that prioritizes long-term safety over short-term results.

| 4/16/26 | Changing What We Measure | In today's episode: Often, organizations are measuring outputs rather than outcomes. They're measuring busy-ness rather than effectiveness. Fixing this requires a change in leadership approach. Organizations need to create psychological safety and allow appropriate time to achieve goals. At the same time, we shouldn't turn outcomes themselves into measurable objectives. When mission, vision, and values are aligned, the outcomes occur automatically.

| 4/15/26 | The Productivity Paradox | In today's episode: Organizations define productivity through output, utilization, and efficiency. But employees define it through their experience and the experience of customers. Employees are leading with their hearts; leaders are leading with metrics. Solving this divide requires a change in how organizations organize themselves. We tend to put skilled people into boxes and don't let them out; we try to replicate manual processes with technology and get things wrong.

| 4/14/26 | Engagement is Down, Stress Is Up | In today's episode: Employee engagement is at 20%. Meanwhile, 85% of workers report experiencing stress in the workplace. But people are 4 times less likely to report stress if their manager communicates effectively with them. Leaders are being measured on short-term productivity, not long-term health and culture-related metrics. Engagment is a bad measurement; what's more important for your ability to get results is the ability to activate change.

| 4/13/26 | Labor Participation is Down | In today's episode: Unemployment remains low, AI is coming for our jobs, and labor participation is at its lowest rate since the 1960s. Is this all in perfect balance? Labor participation has been steadily decreasing over the decades; the balance feels good right now, but it's going to hurt in a few years.

| 4/10/26 | AI in Sports Partnerships | In today's episode: Sports partnerships are about building relationships -- but before relationship comes strategy and analysis. That's where AI can be leveraged: sorting through vast amounts of industry data to find the underdogs and underrepresented brands that can become opportunities for a business relationship. AI can also be a force multiplier in all aspects for small startups: web design, CRM, administration, and more. CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel is a 5-minute daily podcast where business pragmatism meets inner wisdom. Alexis Castellano-Mugica is a former Division I soccer player at the University of Miami who was invited to train with the Venezuelan National Team and attended multiple U.S. Soccer Federation training camps. After four knee surgeries forced her to step away from playing, she transitioned into the business side of sports and built her career in global football sponsorship sales. She worked closely alongside industry leaders with experience at clubs like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Juventus, and Arsenal, gaining a strong foundation in partnership strategy and dealmaking. At Inter Miami CF, she played a key role in driving over $44M+ in sponsorship revenue across multiple tiers of partnership, including contributing to a landmark $17M+ training kit deal with ERGO that will be the last training kit Lionel Messi wears before he retires. Alexis sourced that opportunity through AI. She recently stepped away from Inter Miami CF after the opening of Nu Stadium and has since launched Mugica Sports Agency, where she represents athletes and produces events with an AI-forward approach adopting the technological advances and using them to create a more efficient process.

| 4/9/26 | Lost Opportunities with New Technology | In today's episode: UKG is on the cutting edge of innovation and technology--but customers aren't seeing the same level of value. What's going on? The problem is the customer. Companies buy technology and hope it's a painless adoption process, but they fail to adapt the company to leverage new technology to the fullest. Frontline workers aren't adopting new technologies because it feels like added busywork. That's a failure of leadership to activate change. Leaders also need to understand what parts of new technology will lead to actual business results, then focus on implementing those elements.

| 4/8/26 | AI and CEO Turnover | In today's episode: CEOs at Walmart and Coca-Cola recently stepped down, citing AI as the reason for their departures. The reality is that it's probably one of many reasons. AI is both a serious force and a great scapegoat for layoffs and organizational changes. Whether it's an excuse or reality, AI as a job-replacer is going to become a more common story in coming years.

| 4/7/26 | HR and Real Human Connection | In today's episode: The field of HR is not long for this world; it's either being eliminated by AI, DEI cuts, or being moved into more relevant departments like analytics. But the right answer isn't to cut the workforce--it's more people in front of other people, shaping attitudes, values, and culture. In fields like nursing, it's these basic human interactions that provide real meaning in the world.

| 4/6/26 | The Return of the Liberal Arts Education | In today's episode: Twenty years ago, it became common wisdom that STEM was the path of the future--now, it's about the critical thinking skills that come from a liberal arts education.

| 4/3/26 | A Model for AI Adoption | In today's episode: Basware CEO Jason Kurtz explains how his SaaS company successfully adopted AI across the organization: An "AI Czar" whose only job is to research the latest in AI and bring ideas that could function across the company. Identifying the different function within the company, and tasking leaders to constantly optimize for that specific function.

| 4/2/26 | Is The "SaaS Apocalypse" Coming? | In today's episode: There's talk that agentic AI will replace the SaaS model. But Basware CEO Jason Kurtz says he's not seeing it. He argues that executives are tired of experimenting with AI and seeing little returns; meanwhile, SaaS providers' share of the pie is growing. Customers would rather have an expert with a domain-specific AI, rather than a generalist "hyperscaler" who doesn't understand the industry. To survive disruption, understanding your company's "moat" -- what part of the job can AI not replicate?

| 4/1/26 | Engagement, Burnout, and Women in the Workplace | In today's episode: New Gallup research shows that women in the workplace are more engaged than men, but experience higher burnout. Measing employee engagement is be the wrong method for really understanding the workforce--it emphasizes focus, rather than satisfaction or autonomy. Your ability to activate change within a company is more predictive than engagement when it comes to driving outcomes.
