Season 3, Episode 6: Culture is a Muscle You Have to Maintain

In this episode, Bronwen Gregg welcomes Brooke Thomas for a thoughtful discussion on the intersection of culture, leadership, and personal growth. Brooke reflects on how her early experiences in art and music shaped her approach to work, and why understanding the difference between formal culture and the culture people actually experience is essential for any organization. She and Bronwen explore how leaders can navigate change with intention, why controlling the controllables matters, and how purpose can both guide and overwhelm us if we’re not careful. Brooke also shares her perspective on the “hourglass career,” the role of authentic leadership, and the connection between psychological safety, innovation, and organizational performance. It’s a conversation about clarity, courage, and the power of opportunity in shaping both people and workplaces. #globalgamingwomen [https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=globalgamingwomen&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7178056259303055362] #GGW [https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=ggw&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7178056259303055362] #womeningaming [https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=womeningaming&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7178056259303055362] #FairGame [https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=fairgame&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7178056259303055362] #FairGamePodcast [https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=fairgamepodcast&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7178056259303055362] #podcast [https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=podcast&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7178056259303055362] #careers [https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=careers&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7178056259303055362] email us @ fairgame@globalgamingwomen.org

In this episode, host Bronwen Gregg sits down with Megan Azevedo of The Venetian for a conversation that blends data science, career courage, and the real‑world impact of AI.
