Customer Reviews
Good career advice if you are ready to hear it
Listen to this if you want to know how to navigate corporate America (and even non-profits!). The hosts approach every question with the assumption of best intentions and are upfront about the reality and sometimes they give the benefit of doubt too much-however you should alway approach things this way since being quick to assume and fall into your biases is what makes more problems for yourself.
Amazing content/technical difficulties
Dear HBR: I love your show. The content is insightful and helpful. I often have trouble loading your content; your content fails to load, despite repeated attempts. I’m an Apple user. Previously iPhone 7 and now iPhone XR. I’ve had this problem over the past few years. I’m an avid podcast listener and don’t have this problem with other podcasts. The technical issue seems worth researching further. It’s a shame if your great program goes unheard due to a technical glitch.

Really interesting content... when the podcast actually loads...
