Talk Like a Leader
Guy Harris
Show overview
Talk Like a Leader has been publishing since 2019, and across the 3 years since has built a catalogue of 195 episodes. That works out to roughly 35 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.
Episodes typically run ten to twenty minutes — most land between 9 min and 12 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Business show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 3.4 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. Published by Guy Harris.
