Our Story
We launched The Presentation Boss Podcast in 2019 with a simple goal: to help people become more confident and effective communicators. Over 100 episodes and 200,000+ downloads later, that goal hasn’t changed.
What has changed is us. We’ve spent the last few years working with analysts, leaders and technical professionals, learning what it really takes to communicate ideas that influence decisions. We’re bringing the podcast back for Season 2 with fresh conversations, new perspectives and the same practical approach that made the first 100 episodes so valuable.
