Top Episodes of The Growth Whisperers Podcast for CEOs

Over the span of just over two years, my col­league Brad Giles and I, pro­duced more than 160 episodes of The Growth Whis­per­ers pod­cast. Togeth­er, we explored cap­ti­vat­ing sce­nar­ios and tack­led press­ing ques­tions with­in the cat­e­gories of strate­gic plan­ning, lead­er­ship devel­op­ment, and tal­ent acqui­si­tion in rapid­ly expand­ing entre­pre­neur­ial enter­pris­es where growth is paramount.

Each week­ly episode was a labor of love, metic­u­lous­ly craft­ed with insights gleaned from exten­sive research and inter­ac­tions with vision­ary CEOs and exec­u­tive teams across the globe. As co-hosts of The Growth Whis­per­ers, we’ve cov­ered a myr­i­ad of top­ics rang­ing from Scal­ing Up strate­gies to fos­ter­ing orga­ni­za­tion­al cul­ture and defin­ing core val­ues, all the way to cash flow man­age­ment tips, con­densed into con­cise 20- to 30-minute segments.

It’s tru­ly grat­i­fy­ing to reflect on the impact our pod­cast has had, with feed­back from our audi­ence echo­ing through var­i­ous chan­nels. From heart­felt mes­sages to chance encoun­ters where snip­pets of our dis­cus­sions were over­heard in unex­pect­ed places.
