I enjoy when an organization puts together a branded company podcast that takes the standard leadership interview format and incorporates a unique angle:

Aconic

The title refers to the guests being Asian and AAPI icons and the show is a collaboration between The Asian American Foundation, Gold House, and the Stanford GSB Asian Alumni Chapter.

These shows work really well when there’s a connection across the organization, host, and guests, and the interview balances that shared background with leadership or business insights. Host Soon Yu does a great job with this in the pilot episode I listened to with San Francisco 49ers President Paraag Marathe. I have the show in my queue for checking out additional future episodes!
