The definitive business podcast from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ.
Each week, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Evan Davis is joined by bosses, entrepreneurs and industry experts, to lift the lid on how their businesses work, and what it’s like to be in charge.Β
They discuss a big issue, a big challenge, or a big question facing their industry.
From managing AI to managing millennials, from supermarkets to supercharging a new product.
And our guests will share their stories of success and failure along the way. Β
Podcasts are published every Thursday. And as well as being a podcast, we are also available every Thursday afternoon and Tuesday evening on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4.Β

The Bottom Line has published a spin off series - Decisions That Made Me - where Evan asks entrepreneurs and business leaders about the most crucial moments in their lives and careers.Β You can watch these episodes here: https://t.ly/oJ8lW.
