Behind the Title welcomes Phil Sumner, a research leader with over 25 years in media and insight, who opens up about his journey with ADHD and the impact it’s had on his career and wellbeing. Phil talks candidly about masking, burnout, and the toll of staying silent, as well as the tools and strategies that now help him thrive. He reflects on therapy, leadership, and the importance of giving yourself permission to step back, be kind to yourself, and create conditions where difference is embraced. A powerful reminder that vulnerability is strength.

In any industry, job titles carry power, perception, and pressure. But behind every title CEO, CMO, CFO is a person navigating private challenges, mental health struggles, and silent turning points that shape who they are and how they lead.

Behind the Title is a candid podcast that pulls back the curtain on these personal stories.

Through honest, structured conversations with leaders at all levels, we explore the inner lives that fuel (and sometimes unravel) outer success.

Think of it as Alcoholics Anonymous for the media industry, but instead of substance, we talk about silence, stress, self-worth, and the systems that shape us.
