Systems of Business is a weekly podcast about the people, processes and decisions behind businesses that work. Every business is a network of systems, some carefully designed, some accidental, and some held together by one person who knows where everything is buried. Each episode takes a clear-eyed look at one part of that network, covering topics such as people, operations, marketing, technology and growth.
