The definitive business podcast from the 成人快手.
Each week, the 成人快手's Evan Davis is joined by bosses, entrepreneurs and industry experts, to lift the lid on how their businesses work, and what it鈥檚 like to be in charge.聽
They discuss a big issue, a big challenge, or a big question facing their industry.
From managing AI to managing millennials, from supermarkets to supercharging a new product.
And our guests will share their stories of success and failure along the way. 聽
Podcasts are published every Thursday. And as well as being a podcast, we are also available every Thursday afternoon and Tuesday evening on 成人快手 Radio 4.聽
You can now also listen to The Bottom Line on a smart speaker. If you want to listen, just say "Ask 成人快手 Sounds to play The Bottom Line鈥. It works on most smart speakers.
The Bottom Line has published a spin off series - Decisions That Made Me - where Evan asks entrepreneurs and business leaders about the most crucial moments in their lives and careers.聽You can watch these episodes here: https://t.ly/oJ8lW.
