Six months ago I launched my “Boardroom Governance Podcast” featuring in-depth interviews with leading corporate governance experts, including world-class founders, scholars, board members, executives, investors and other relevant boardroom stakeholders.

Today, the podcast has thousands of listeners including downloads from 71 different countries. This has been a great experience for me, and I hope you can also enjoy some of these discussions involving governance matters and personal insights from a fantastic group of interviewees.

In this post, you will find the first 21 episodes for easy access and listening. If you like this show, please consider subscribing, leaving a review or sharing this podcast on social media. You can find all the show notes on the website boardroom-governance.com or wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher and more.
