The Official BNI Podcast
Dr. Ivan Misner
Show overview
The Official BNI Podcast has been publishing since 2022, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 205 episodes. That works out to roughly 45 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.
Episodes typically run ten to twenty minutes — most land between 12 min and 13 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-US-language Business show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed yesterday, with 19 episodes already out so far this year. Published by Dr. Ivan Misner.
