We’re no strangers to risk here at the Business Infrastructure podcast, but even we proceeded with caution during Season 17. Why?

Because we tried some radically and fundamentally different things on the show.

We experimented with a non-fiction storytelling format for the show that requires much more behind-the-scenes coordination, planning, and logistics to perfect the formula for success.

In this final episode of Season 17, host Alicia Butler Pierre shares these changes as part of this podcast’s “scale tale.” Discover what led to these decisions to experiment with changing the format, the business infrastructure required to consistently produce this new format, and whether the results were successful.

You’ll even hear the recorded testimonial of one of our guests this season as proof!

Yet, each person would rather be at their non-preferred location so long as they are still with their spouse. So where should they decide to go?
