Business: Unscripted

Running a successful business rarely follows the script. As a company grows, the decisions become more complex and the stakes get higher. There are people to lead, margins to protect, opportunities to evaluate, technology to keep up with, and a constant stream of problems that rarely arrive one at a time. And somewhere in the middle of all of that, there is still a life to live. "Business: Unscripted" is a candid conversation between Maxime Girard, Founder and CEO of Dextra Advisory , and Anna Angelova, Co-Founder and President of Leficomp , about the realities of building, running and leading an established business. Drawing on their own experience, the businesses they work with, and the patterns they see repeatedly, they explore the issues business owners are actually dealing with. Their conversations include finances and profitability, leadership and people, operations and technology, the personal weight of ownership, and the decisions that shape what comes next. Expect practical discussions, different perspectives, lessons from experience, and plenty of questions that do not have tidy answers. If you own an established business and want to grow it well while building a company and a life that remain worth having, "Business: Unscripted" is for you.
