'I worked for a company that had 1,200 employees. Every one of us had a job to do, all related to providing broadband cable services to residential and commercial customers. Since it was a business, it had owners that had certain expectations – a healthy return on their investment.

'I had the pleasure of interviewing Doug Conant, newly appointed Non-Executive Chairman of Avon and the former President and CEO of Campbell Soup, where he led the company through a dramatic transformation, reversing the declining trend in earnings and employee engagement.

'Everyone could benefit from a daily dose of the best team leadership that podcasts offer. Despite the growing number of great free shows and the incredible amount of inspiration and information they offer, I would imagine that the audience for audio podcasts is still incredibly small, though.

If you are that entrepreneur, you might take that quite literally and start working on the components of the pitch (narrative, length, structure, sequencing etc.) and/or the mechanics of its delivery (tone, style e
