  • Insightful and refreshingly balanced

    This show gives extremely tangible and insightful perspectives how leaders got to where they are. The format stays away from the tabloid-style reporting or fan-based interviews, and provides the facts in a leveled and easy to follow along way. GREAT new format for business journalism. Highly recommend, my new favorite business podcast.
