Welcome to Season 4

Welcome to Season 4

Best Manager Ever shares hard-earned leadership lessons from the very best and most successful managers in startups and tech. But here’s the twist: Every guest is endorsed by their team as the “best manager ever.” We talk to the guest’s direct reports to learn how they *really* lead, and then unpack that feedback live with the guest.


This season we’re leveling up with world-class experts who have spent their careers studying the science of leadership, including professors, authors, and coaches.


Season 4 kicks off March 18th, with new episodes every Wednesday wherever you get podcasts.
