Chris and Ben combine the real world experience of military leadership and corporate consulting with evidence-based approaches to common organizational issues. The product is a charming and witty discussion that is actually helpful.

Description

Take control of your life, business, and career once and for all. The Indigo Podcast offers raw, unfiltered, and science-based talk about flourishing in life. Join CEOs, executives, and regular folks in learning how to build a better future at work and beyond. Check out this top ranked podcast! For more information, visit www.indigotogether.com. Our approach is evidence based and our conversation is quirky. In every episode, we: 1. Promote the flourishing of people and organizations. 2. Bridge the gap between social science and management practice. 3. Provide an antidote or counterpoint to the ever-increasing overly simplistic, reductionist approaches to work and life. 4. Feed the curiosity of people who want to make the world a better place through work. 5. Inspire listeners to become lifelong learners and bold difference-makers.
