Brian Besanceney, a former chief communications officer at Boeing, Walmart, and Disney, described himself as pursuing a "portfolio lifestyle" with fractional work, board service, and advisory roles. In a January 2025 episode of the podcast *In a Car with IPR*, he noted that he is working fractionally with Althia, Comm's Collective, and Orlando Health, and serves as an IPR trustee. Besanceney discussed the growing challenge of disinformation, stating that social media platforms have largely moved away from content moderation, creating a "wild west" environment. He said that AI is "going to supercharge efforts to just throw stuff against the wall and see what sticks because it's lowering the cost for bad actors to generate misinformation and disinformation." Besanceney also commented on broader geopolitical shifts, saying that "we are living in a world where we are consciously or unconsciously dismantling 80 years of the post-World War II economic relationship between countries." He argued that the best leaders "embrace technological change as the new normal" and can think across political, geopolitical, and stakeholder expectations.
