About People You Should Know

People You Should Know is hosted by Jenny Bain and presented by Octus. Each episode is a real conversation with someone worth knowing. Some are the people behind the Octus platform. Some are friends of Octus from across credit, finance, and the worlds adjacent. All of them have a story you won't get from a press release.  Jenny gets them talking about the path that got them here, the moments that shaped them, the work they take seriously, and the parts of life that have nothing to do with work at all.  Listen long enough and you'll find the kind of people you wish you'd met sooner.

EP 02 | Dr. Jonathan Fader on The Psychology of High Performers

Why do some incredibly talented people never make it, while others with average talent become unstoppable? Dr. Jonathan Fader, Co-Founder and Director of Performance Coaching at SHRPA, joins Jenny Bain on the latest People You Should Know. Fader traces his curiosity back to the 80s, sitting in zip-up pajamas listening to his mother reframe career stories for clients at the kitchen table (02:24). He walks through what he learned working with the Mets, the Giants, and the FDNY about why prospects fizzle and suspects outperform (05:13). He breaks down the "X Factor" trap where a leader's greatest strength becomes their Achilles heel (16:07), and gets specific on the five-minute-a-day skill that compounds into transformation (44:13). A conversation about adjustment, trust, and the practice of being present. ----more----Hosted by Jenny Bain [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-bain/] Featuring: Dr. Jonathan Fader [www.linkedin.com/in/fader/], Co-Founder and Director of Performance Coaching at Strata Performance. Produced and edited by two-time Emmy Award-winning producer Tanya Hubbard [https://www.linkedin.com/in/tanya-hubbard/].

EP 01 | Molly Breen on Building a Career You Can't Plan

Molly Breen [https://www.linkedin.com/in/molly-breen-5b0aab19/]got her first finance job by inviting a room of bankers to a White Russian party during a D.C. snowstorm. The interview answers didn't land her the offer. The invitation did. Molly, Head of Capital Markets at Permira [https://www.permira.com/], joins Jenny Bain [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-bain/] on the very first episode of People You Should Know, season two. She walks through the rotational program that taught her to learn fast (04:34), the senior woman who took one look at her and said "you belong on a syndicate desk" (05:59), and the cliff-jump from equity syndicate into leveraged finance that almost broke her (10:48). She also gets into raising the debt that helped acquire Octus, the boardroom seat she now holds, and why she still picks up calls at 3 a.m. (24:20). A first guest worth starting with. ----more---- Hosted by Jenny Bain [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-bain/]. Featuring Tanya Hubbard [https://www.linkedin.com/in/tanya-hubbard/].

07 | Tejs Broberg on Why Winning Isn’t the Point

In this episode of Inside Octus: People in Focus, Jenny Bain [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-bain-phr-60453328/] speaks with Tejs Broberg [https://www.linkedin.com/in/tejsbroberg/] about competition, leadership, and learning when winning is no longer the point. Tejs shares his early life growing up in a small town in Denmark and how a childhood rooted in sports and community eventually led him to ski racing and the long road to the 1998 Nagano Olympics (02:24). He reflects on how failure shaped his mindset early on, including the realization that happiness does not come from podiums or rankings, but from loving the work itself and committing to the journey (11:05). The conversation explores how that philosophy carried into leadership and entrepreneurship, including founding FinDox, navigating high-risk startup environments, and ultimately joining Octus to help scale data and workflow alongside editorial insight (14:27). Tejs discusses building high-performance teams grounded in trust, ownership, and psychological safety, as well as his approach to conflict, decision-making, and long-term relationships (22:29). As the conversation turns personal, Tejs reflects on parenthood, therapy, love, and the idea of “enough,” including why more is not always better and why fairness and perspective matter more than status or accumulation (37:21). A thoughtful conversation about ambition without ego, leadership without noise, and choosing a life built on purpose rather than outcomes. ----more---- Host: Jenny Bain [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-bain-phr-60453328/] Guest: Tejs Broberg [https://www.linkedin.com/in/tejsbroberg/] Produced and Edited by: Tanya Hubbard A Production of The Octus Podcast Network

06 | Alix Brozman on Legacy, Loss, and the Life You Choose

In this episode of Inside Octus: People in Focus, Jenny Bain speaks with Alix Brozman about legacy, loss, and the choices that quietly shape a life. Alix begins by reflecting on growing up alongside her identical twin in Northern Westchester and how independence, sports, and time spent alone in the woods shaped her early sense of self (01:15). She shares how her family navigated years of medical uncertainty when her sister became ill, and how that experience taught her resilience and self-reliance at a young age (04:45). The conversation turns to Alix’s mother, a pioneering bankruptcy judge, and the moment Alix truly understood the scale of her mother’s impact after her passing (11:00). Alix reflects on mentorship, leadership, and the legacy her mother left behind, including the creation of Tina’s Wish and its mission to advance early detection for ovarian cancer (14:30). Alix discusses her own path into restructuring law, why private practice ultimately wasn’t the life she wanted, and how she helped build Octus breaking news and legal editing function from the ground up (24:00). She explains what it means to lead behind the scenes, build durable systems, and support teams operating under constant pressure (28:30). As she prepares for a new chapter as a parent, Alix shares candid reflections on ambition, boundaries, and choosing a life that balances meaningful work with presence at home (36:20). The episode closes with a look forward, including what Alix hopes to carry into parenthood and pass on to the next generation (42:00). A thoughtful, deeply human conversation about becoming who you didn’t plan to be and choosing the life that’s truly yours. ----more---- Host: Jenny Bain [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-bain-phr-60453328/] Guest: Alix Brozman Produced and Edited by: Tanya Hubbard A Production of The Octus Podcast Network

EP 5 | Jack Keck on How Builders Think

What happens when a small-town kid with a pink mohawk trades the Marines for Goldman Sachs?   Jack Keck [https://www.linkedin.com/in/keckjack/], Head of Application Development at Octus, proves that unconventional paths often lead to breakthrough leadership. From sleeping under his desk during the Marcus launch to building the Apple Card infrastructure, Keck's journey challenges everything you think you know about tech leadership. He didn't follow the traditional script—no computer science degree, no Silicon Valley pedigree. Instead, he learned by doing, taking swings at problems others wouldn't touch, and turning imposter syndrome into unstoppable drive.   Listen now to discover how authentic leadership stems from climbing mountains with your team, not standing above them.   -----    Hosts: Jenny Bain [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-bain-phr-60453328/]  Guest: Jack Keck [https://www.linkedin.com/in/keckjack/] Produced and Edited by: Tanya Hubbard [https://www.linkedin.com/in/tanya-hubbard/] A Production of The Octus Podcast Network

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
