About The Better Angle

What happens when innovative leaders challenge business-as-usual? The Better Angle spotlights the game-changing perspectives that are reshaping how successful leaders operate. Hosts Kathleen Rennie (Chair/Clinical Faculty at NYU's School of Professional Studies) and Cortney Stapleton (Chief Strategy & Business Officer at Highwire) sit down with visionaries who are seeing their field differently – and winning because of it. Our guests don't just share success stories – they break down the insight that led them to approach a specific challenge from a new or different angle. From building authentic brand trust to pioneering in a new market, to navigating a personal professional setback, episodes focus on the breakthrough moments and the impact they had. For leaders, communicators, and innovators, this is your opportunity to get inside the minds of those who dared to look at problems through a fresh, and sometimes provocative lens.

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.
