The Impactful Conversations Effect Podcast
The Impactful Conversations Effect Podcast
Change rarely starts with a brilliant idea. More often, it starts in conversation.
The Impactful Conversations Effect is a podcast about the moments that move us forward—real conversations that shift how we see ourselves, what we want, or what comes next.
Hosted by Winy Bernard Bertin and Ashley Rudolph, we sit down with leaders, creatives, and entrepreneurs to unpack the conversations that have shaped their careers. Sometimes we ask about the exact moment everything shifted. Other times, just being in dialogue leads to new insight.
This season, we’re joined by:
• Babba Rivera, CEO of Ceremonia
• Lissy Alden, CEO of Myndy
• Marine Tanguy, CEO of MTArt
• Allison Stadd, SVP at Shipt
• Cathie Urushibata, Creative Director at Shake Shack
• Rachel Kourakos, Executive Coach
• Delphine Gardère, CEO of Rum Barbancourt
Each episode feels like chatting over tea with a friend—warm, thoughtful, and often exactly what you didn’t know you needed.
