In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic exposed the United States’ greatest vulnerabilities and its most profound injustices. Now, in an effort to become more resilient and equitable, leaders in business and government are making fundamental changes to the way they operate—and how they interact with one another. What will our country look like on the other side of these great transformations?
This season of American Metamorphosis, the podcast from Boston Consulting Group and Atlantic Re:think, the branded content studio within The Atlantic, explores that question. In conversations with leaders in the public and private sectors, Emmy-nominated journalist Caroline Modarressy-Tehrani examines how rules are being rewritten, maps redrawn and structures redesigned—and how those shifts will impact the way we live, work, and create in the years ahead.

Season 1: Fascinating storytelling

Insightful & stimulating!

This is the kind of show that makes you say, “ Wow, I hadn’t thought of it that way,” and then bring the conversation to the dinner table, walks with friends, etc. It’s so insightful and challenges you to think of things from new perspectives. Absolutely worth a listen!
