Generating Conversation is AVK’s podcast series that reimagines the traditional industry format by taking discussions beyond the studio. Rather than staged interviews behind a desk, the podcast meets people where they are, in their workplaces, over coffee, or even on the move, creating authentic, unscripted conversations.
