Not just in HR or the boardroom, but across business, politics, culture, the arts, and beyond. Every guest is a Maverick Leader in their own right - people who challenge assumptions, disrupt the ordinary, and show what leadership looks like when it refuses to play safe. Each episode is conversational but provocative: no glossy theory, no reheated clichés. Just raw, unfiltered dialogue that pulses with energy and delivers sharper insight, braver perspective, and ideas leaders can put into practice immediately.
