On this episode, hosts Farzana Baduel and Doug Downs speak with Suhel Seth — author, columnist, and global advisor on communication strategy.

Suhel unpacks how the collapse of nuance, the cult of immediacy, and the rise of tribal identity are shaping the way we communicate today — often for the worse.

From India’s cultural complexities to the Western obsession with outrage, Suhel offers sharp insight into why critical thinking is vanishing, what brands are getting wrong, and how patience and silence may just be the most radical tools in a communicator’s toolkit.
