The Indispensable Conversation is a business podcast hosted by James M. Kerr. It has 60 episodes, with the latest published October 2024.
Most podcasts out there today do little more than provide a platform for somebody to promote their latest book. As a person who has been interviewed hundreds of times on these kinds of programs, I know how they work – contrived and pre-planned. In fact, you will likely hear the same messages nearly every time an expert is interviewed.The Indispensable Conversation is different.We host authentic conversations about real topics that impact leaders of all kinds. There are no read ahead questions, no retakes, no BS.Just one guest, one provocative question, one indispensable conversation.
