Corporate Nonsense 1

This is the first episode of the Corporate Nonsense Podcast, which has been created to explore all the dumb stuff that happens in business, and attempt to make sense of it. The podcast is hosted by David Blackwell, who was a management consultant for a quarter of a century, and saw the inside of hundreds of businesses during that time. The guests on the show are Liam Goddard, a private equity executive, and Mike Altendorf, the founder of Conchango (a tech services business) and angel investor.
