The PublicCEO Report is a video and podcast series hosted by PublicCEO Owner and Tripepi Smith President Ryder Todd Smith. In each Report, Ryder sits down with a thought leader to talk policy, current events, personal experiences and challenges facing local government. Our hope is that these unedited, unscripted conversations inspire and inform listeners so they can be more effective change-makers at their agency.

The PublicCEO Report is now on all major podcasting platforms! Learn the latest happenings in the California local government world while you’re on the go or away from your computer. Now streaming on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Amazon Music.
