You built something real. The decisions that got you here weren't in any playbook. This podcast exists because those stories deserve more than a LinkedIn post — and the leaders who lived them deserve a conversation that matches the weight of what they've done.
Be a Guest on Season 1 →Geopolitical analysis and strategic intelligence by Joseph Soares. New episodes weekly.
Most people in your life don't understand what it took to build what you built. The risks you absorbed alone. The calls you made when everyone around you was guessing. This is a space for that conversation — with a host who has sat in rooms where the stakes were national, not theoretical.
Your host served as an advisor to the Prime Minister of Canada during the 2008 financial crisis and as Chief of Staff at the Senate of Canada during the 2020 pandemic. He's been featured in Forbes, Newsweek, the National Post, the Globe and Mail, and media globally. He's not asking surface questions — he's asking the ones only someone who's been tested would know to ask.
No highlight reels. No scripted pitches. This is a candid, peer-level conversation about the decisions that actually shaped your career — the ones that kept you up at night and made you who you are.
Our listeners are decision-makers across business, government, and public life — the kind of people who hear a story and do something with it. Your words reach people who matter.
Every episode produces 10–15 short-form clips distributed across LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and X. One conversation becomes a permanent authority asset across every major platform.
We designed the format around busy leaders. No multi-day productions. No homework. Show up, have a great conversation, and we handle the rest.
Every episode orbits the same question: when the pressure was highest, what did you do — and what did it teach you?
Joseph served as an advisor to the Prime Minister of Canada during the 2008 financial crisis. As Chief of Staff at the Senate of Canada during the 2020 pandemic. He's been featured in Forbes, Newsweek, the National Post, the Globe and Mail, and media globally. He now advises a select number of leaders who want a senior mind in their corner when the stakes are high.
He created this podcast because the most valuable lessons in business are rarely shared publicly — and the leaders who earned them deserve a platform that treats their stories with the gravity they deserve.
This is not a sales pitch. It's an invitation to share your story with an audience that will genuinely benefit from hearing it.
Our listeners are decision-makers across business, government, and public life — people who act on ideas, not just consume them.
Joseph has operated at the highest levels of government and business. He asks the questions that other interviewers don't know to ask.
We handle all production, editing, and distribution. You show up, have a conversation, and receive your finished episode plus clips.
Every episode goes to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and all major platforms — plus 10–15 short-form clips across LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, and X.
Your episode lives forever as a searchable, shareable piece of content that reinforces your authority and expands your reach long after the recording.
We don't book guests based on follower counts or media profiles. We book leaders who have been genuinely tested — people whose decisions carried real weight and whose stories will resonate with an audience of peers.
Season 1 launches May 2026. We're booking a limited number of guests who have been genuinely tested. If that's you, let's talk.
