Three days after her husband's funeral, Pippa Glucklich got on a plane to Munich to lead a pitch.

She was CEO of of a large media agency. BMW was the biggest pitch of her career. And her world had just exploded.

In the latest Behind The Title episode, Pippa shares something I've never heard a senior leader discuss so openly: what happens when the facade crumbles.

→ The out-of-body experience of leading a pitch while grieving

→ Why she couldn't look in the mirror for months

→ How chasing title, money, and status nearly broke her

→ The moment she realized she couldn't be "that person" anymore

This isn't just a conversation about loss. It's about the impossible standards we hold ourselves to, the things we hide behind professional polish, and what actually matters.

Trigger warning: This episode discusses suicide and addiction candidly.

But if you've ever felt like you're holding everything together on the outside while falling apart inside, Pippa's story might just change something for 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.
