The Head & The Heart
by PodcastOne
The Head and the Heart Podcast is a series of conversations exploring current affairs, ideas, and themes that shape civic and cultural life. We aim to elevate public dialogue by giving important topics a forum where the time and space exists to investigate them fully. And then asking ourselves why we believe what we believe about a subject. Are our opinions thoughtfully held, or have we been successfully marketed to?

Perry Rogers is a sports agent and brand management expert; and Ed Borgato is an investor, fund manager, and business consultant. Together, they will interview thought-leaders, politicians, journalists, authors, and other cultural figures from across the spectrum of American life. Their hope is that listeners will learn and think along side them; satisfying their curiosity, and perhaps challengin
