Love this!
Great new podcast to listen to. Poppy's questions are interesting and insightful. Looking forward to more.
Great Insight
Fantastic insight into top executives' thoughts across a host of topics and issues. Poppy asks the tough questions and creates a great dialogue. I enjoyed the Buffet interview and look forward to listening to all of them! It leaves me wanting more. Thank you Poppy and her team for great, high level interviews.
Fantastic Business Insight Podcast!
This is a fantastic podcast! I just listened to the Warren Buffett episode and was blown away. Poppy has a special ability to provide a safe space for a uniquely personal give-and-take and, once there, she asks really tough questions and, somehow, gets disarmingly honest answers, without creating tension or argument. Podcasts are best when you hear things you didn’t know or suspect already; actually learn something; and see the interviewee more fully than before. Really fantastic podcast and I can’t wait to hear more!
