0:00I'm Danny White Scorn and this is Behind the Title where leaders show up differently. On the outside, everything looks like it could not be better, but on the inside, I was falling apart. That has been probably the biggest challenge that I faced in my career. It was awful. And I was done pretending that I was OK. Behind the Title was created as a platform to help destigmatise otherwise taboo subjects in society and the workplace. Three days after the funeral, I get on a plane and I was sitting there in this meeting, leading this pitch, going, I can't believe I'm here. I can't. What am I doing?
0:33I'm not, I can't be Pippa CEO anymore. You feel like you've failed. You feel, how have we got to this situation? Could I have done something differently? There's so many posters that say, it's okay not to be okay. No, it's not. It's not okay to not be okay. It's always important to ask for help, to be honest and say, I just can't do this anymore.
1:00Thank you.

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.
