A great podcast!!

Loving this podcast! Every episode has a fresh take on business and leadership today — and unlike other business podcasts, Fearless Thinkers always leaves me with something I can take back and apply to my daily work. The length is also a huge plus, the episodes are short enough to fit into my commute or running errands, but still include plenty of insights that make listening in worthwhile. Can’t wait for more of these to be released. Keep up the great work!
