A Chief of Staff Podcast is a show for and about the people making magic happen behind the scenes.

To learn about my first Chief of Staff-like role, how A Chief of Staff newsletter, podcast and New York Chief of Staff Events and Mixers got started, listen to this episode here!

What This Show Is About

Being a Chief of Staff is one of the most unique and underrated role in any organization. You're close to power but rarely in the spotlight. You're a strategic partner, a project manager, a therapist, a translator, and sometimes a firefighter, all at once.

This podcast is a place where real Chiefs of Staff share what the role actually looks like day-to-day. No fluff. No corporate-speak. Just honest conversations about:

  • How people got into the CoS role 

  • How AI is changing the way CoS professionals work

  • How the Chief of Staff role is more valuable with AI

  • The frameworks, tools, and mindsets that actually help

Who It's For

If you're a Chief of Staff, aspiring CoS, or just someone in a strategic operations role trying to figure things out, A Chief of Staff podcast is for you.

New episodes drop every Tuesday. Each episode is a real conversation with someone in or around the role, sharing what they've learned and are working on now.
