You might already be very familiar with Dr. Kjell Anders Nordström, the author of several books, including Momentum. It’s been my pleasure to have him as a guest on the Leaders in Value Chain podcast. We discussed how the Corona events initiated his decision to write the book and the disruptions around the global economy. We also dived into his book, The Monkey and The Money, which follows the history of capitalism through the lens of an ape.

Customer Reviews
Great podcast and great topics
Radu is a great host! The topics he and his guests cover are so relevant! My only problem is the sound quality - which cone and goes!
Good but not the best.
I’ve follow this podcast for a few years. I even followed it during deployments overseas. I used to recommend this podcast to other supply officers as well. It’s a very good podcast but it’s not the best. The best supply chain management and logistics podcast I’ve ever heard comes from Cranfield university in England. Indeed, one of the interviews on this podcast is with Professor wilding of Cranfield. The questions asked of the guests are very good questions, but if they were to be outstanding questions they would somehow lead the conversation to demonstrate key supply chain management and logistics principles in such a way that the audience learns them in a Socratic way. This, is partly accomplished, but it could be done better. The sound quality of the guest is usually not bad, but the host consistently sounds like he’s in a room surrounded by tiles. Lastly, one of the reasons why I followed the author of this podcast, was that he was very professional and completely apolitical . However, the author recently changed this on LinkedIn regarding a supposed leadership issue which he took out of context. Lastly, there is not much variance between one interview and another, so I begin to feel that I am listening to an hour and 15 minutes of the same thing. For these reasons, I am not giving this podcast five stars.
Great podcast
I love the podcast and it’s content . The sound quality needs to be improved however - it’s highly inconsistent.
