Influence isn’t what it used to be, and the people who shape culture know it best. Charlamagne Tha God, one of today’s most recognizable voices in media and culture, sits down with Bob Pittman, Chairman & CEO of iHeartMedia, for a live podcast recording of Math & Magic: Stories from the Frontiers of Marketing to unpack how influence is actually built in a world overflowing with content, opinions and AI generated everything. Charlamagne and Bob discuss the real stories behind building The Black Effect Podcast Network and The Breakfast Club - the inspiration, what worked in building audience, what didn't, and what advertisers can learn from his success. Together, they explore what it takes to create something people care about, why amplification needs authenticity, and how brands can show up in culture without faking it.
