TMA Talks: A Member-Focused Video Podcast
Formerly known as TMA CEO Speaks, our newly reimagined podcast, TMA Talks, sponsored by Second Wind Consultants, is designed to shine the spotlight on what truly matters—our members. This fresh format showcases powerful, concise, and impactful stories from the TMA community, told by the professionals shaping our industry.

The Concept
In each episode, 2026 TMA Global Chair Rachael Smiley will interview a TMA member on a theme –such as
- Maintaining Culture During a Turnaround
- The First 30 Days of a Turnaround
- Tips for Business Development and Networking
- Boardroom Dynamics in Distress
- Managing Stakeholder Conflict Without Burning Bridges
- Turnarounds That Didn’t Work
- War Stories and Lessons Learned
- And more!
Frequency
To start, we plan to publish monthly, with each video episode (10 minutes or less) featured on the TMA Global website, shared in TMA’s member newsletter and on our LinkedIn page, and available for listening on Soundcloud or wherever you get your podcasts. Based on participation and listener/viewer feedback, we may increase frequency to biweekly.
Why Participate?
- Amplify your voice and your expertise within the profession.
- Inspire and educate other professionals.
- Receive teaser clips and the full recording to share on your social media accounts.
- Share a powerful moment that illustrates the value and presence of TMA in your professional journey.
Easy to Join. Zero Travel. TMA staff will assist with online scheduling and video recording.
