Welcome to Boards Network. In this show, we speak to some of the most successful Board members and leaders in the world, whose stories will help you become better leaders in the boardroom. Companies influence a big part of the world around us, whether they are public or private. Boards often dictate their strategy and decisions. Therefore, we believe that by changing Boards, we can change the world.
Our goal is to find amazing business leaders who are willing to share their experience with the public. Besides Board members, we will also interview consultants, researchers, investors, executives, and authors.

Customer Reviews
Great exploration of what makes great companies successful
Excellent and a must for anyone who wants to start or run a company or simply better understand how successful companies are run.
Interesting and insightful
I’ve listened to the episodes with Ben Levin and George Bradt so far and both have been very insightful. The podcast focuses on how boards and board directors can add value and tackles the question from different angles, at different stages of a company or of a board. The questions are straight to the point and the recommendations, whether regarding specific processes or tools to leverage the data available to the board or the company, are practical and actionable.
In-Depth and fresh take on how boards function
Listened to NBT from Shasta and found the podcast thoroughly insightful, a different view into an investor's role in helping founders manage boards better. Coming from venture background, was able to relate to the comments by NBT.
