When Zohran Mamdani clinched the Democratic nomination for NYC mayor, it blindsided New York’s business elite—not because the signs weren’t there, but because they weren’t listening. His surprise victory signals a shift not just in how people communicate, but in their willingness to engage openly on issues old media once casually dismissed—often on platforms leaders ignore. This episode explores what that means for politics, workplaces, and anyone in power.
