We are all bombarded by information at every turn. By 3 p.m. most days, my brain is fried by the number of headlines, images and videos that I’ve forced it to consume since waking up. It’s exhausting, yes, but it also makes knowing which information to pay attention to—and trust—a minefield.
Into this environment, Fortune is launching Fortune Daily, a premium, daily news show. And I’m its host. “What?” I hear you cry. “The last thing anyone needs is yet another vodcast!” We know that, which is why we’re doing something different. Monday to Thursday every week, I’ll sit down with my award-winning colleagues across Fortune’s newsroom to discuss their coverage of the biggest business stories. I’ll also welcome external guests, in the form of CEOs, thinkers, and the buzziest founders, for exclusive interviews.
But here’s where Fortune Daily is different from other shows out there: we’re not just reading the headlines; we’re exploring what they mean for you. How do they impact your job, your finances, and the way you make decisions across all areas of your life? And we’re doing all this from our beautiful, cozy set, situated at Fortune’s Manhattan’s HQ.
Alongside Fortune Daily, I’m still overseeing the Most Powerful Women Summit and I’ll be discussing many of the themes and women covered in this newsletter in the show. On Tuesday’s episode, for example, I chatted with my colleague Emily Forlini, senior AI reporter, about her exclusive interview with Fidji Simo, which covered Simo’s decision to step back from her OpenAI exec role to focus on her health. We go beyond the piece, breaking down whether Simo’s high-profile transparency about her experience with POTS could smash taboos around leaders disclosing health issues. Yesterday, Fortune editor-in-chief Alyson Shontell took me behind the scenes of her Titans and Disruptors interview with Pershing Square’s Bill Ackman. In today’s episode, I’ll speak with Fortune‘s Ruth Umoh about the minefield that is a CEO succession race in 2026.
