The Escalation Podcast blends thoughtful solo reflections with candid conversations with high-performing leaders across banking, finance, law, and the wider corporate world.
Each episode explores the psychology, culture, and unspoken dynamics of ambitious careers — from decision-making under pressure to identity, leadership, and the personal cost of success. Through lived experiences and honest dialogue, the podcast looks beyond titles and achievements to examine what it really means to build a career in an industry that shapes not only what we do, but who we become.
This is where the professional and the personal meet — the human side of banking and finance.
