Discussions Worth Your Time

Episode after episode Matt delivers content that starts conversations. These conversations can transfer to clients in easy to digestible educational bites or bits used as conversation starters. Every episode has had some take away I’ve found myself sharing. I’m looking forward to the future of this podcast and where Matt brings the conversation.

Thank You!

My only complaint is that this podcast wasn’t around when I graduated with my Anthropology degree! Thank you for bringing together such an inspiring, eclectic mix of anthropologists and industry leaders to discuss their own personal career journeys and lessons learned. Listening to your podcast is already helping me to better articulate my own professional value as an anthropologist working in a business context. I cant wait to see who we hear from next!
