They have their own opinions expressed by business partners.
As someone who regularly talks to the CEO about his industries, paths and philosophies, my conversation with Mac Millen’s CEO Jon Yadam stood up. It was not just about books or publications – it was about the role of values, culture and business leaders at the time of social friction.
What made me surprised was not June’s obsession for literature – it was expected – but how clearly he had given about the challenges facing Mac Millen in a world where books were banned.
The ban on the book may feel like an Ocean, but as June explained, this is a growing problem. Schools and libraries across the country are under pressure to remove books that solve race, gender and identity. For Macmulin, one of the American publishers of “Big Five”, this is not just a sales issue – it’s cultural and political. June made it clear: Their role is not to be published, but what is important. And it comes with a risk, especially when distributors, schools or local governments withdraw.

We also discussed what we mean to become CEOs among the cultural shock. June doesn’t take a performance point. He does not try to be loud about the values of McMamin or excessively polished. Instead, he focuses on listening to, standing firm and partnership with his mission. Such an explanation came out. Leadership is not always about fighting sharp battles – sometimes it is about silently about the protection of the place for conversation, with certainty.
Our conversation turned to its effects on AI and publication. June’s theory was practical: Use AI to smooth operations, improve access and improve editors – don’t replace them. He was not excessive hope or alarm – he saw the AI as a just a device that needed to handle the handling. For an industry that is often viewed traditionally, McMamlin looks forward, without losing its editorial spirit.
Here is something for leaders in any industry. June is visiting a company at the intersection of culture, politics and innovation. He is not guiding with fear or disturbance – he is guiding with clarification. What is the mission? Who are we serving? Where can we be ready without compromising our principles? These questions are worth asking, whether you are posting or running a tech startup.
What I took from this interview was a deep understanding of how leadership and culture connect with each other. June Yaj is not trying to make a spectacle of McMamlin’s stand – he is working to keep lights for authors and stories. And at a time when polarization and noise are dominated, this calm commitment created a lasting impression.
