Money. Power. Business.
And the absurd systems
holding everything together.
Important subjects · Inappropriate levels of honesty
Freakonomics meets global business — with less reverence and more real life.
Load Bearing investigates the hidden incentives, unusual people and questionable decisions shaping business and modern life. Every episode starts with a question. The guest helps investigate it.
Thirty to forty-five minutes. Guests are asked to be specific.
Most business podcasts discuss success once it has become a tidy story.
Load Bearing is about what actually happened: the risks, the near-disasters, the impossible decisions, the questionable coping mechanisms, and the people quietly holding it all together off-camera.
Sharp questions, global perspectives and dry humour — with occasional interruptions from actual children.
Hosted by an entrepreneur, investor, mother and professional carrier of far too many things.
Notes from the recordings, the questions guests refused to answer, and the occasional expensive mistake of her own. Weekly when the show is running. Never more than that.
