Leveraging Thought Leadership Podcast
About the Podcast
Hear from the people whose ideas shape the business world. Learn what their public stories leave out.
Our beat: the business of thought leadership and the people who take ideas to scale. Fortune 500 CEOs. New York Times bestselling authors. Thinkers50 honorees. NSA Hall of Fame speakers. Top business school professors. First-time authors. Emerging keynote speakers. Their support: publishers, speaking coaches, PR experts.
We ask thought leaders to share generously. And they don’t hold back. How did they get here? What nearly stopped them? What did they learn? And what keeps them going?
Peter Winick and Bill Sherman launched the podcast in March 2018. And after 700+ interviews, they’ve curated them in The Thought Leadership Handbook, co-authored with Naren Aryal.
